.Sh SYNOPSIS

|

.Fn selrecord "struct lwp *selector" "struct selinfo *sip"

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Fn selrecord
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn selwakeup
|
|
are the two central functions used by
|
|
.Xr select 2 ,
|
|
.Xr poll 2 ,
|
|
and the objects that are being selected on.
|
|
They handle the task of recording which threads are waiting on which objects
|
|
and the waking of the proper threads when an event of interest occurs on an
|
|
object.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn selrecord
|
|
records that the calling thread is interested in events related to a given
|
|
object.
|
|
If another thread is already waiting on the object a collision will be flagged
|
|
in
|
|
.Fa sip
|
|
which will be later dealt with by
|
|
.Fn selwakeup .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn selwakeup
|
|
is called by the underlying object handling code in order to notify any waiting
|
|
threads that an event of interest has occurred.
|
|
If a collision has occurred,
|
|
.Fn selwakeup
|
|
will increment
|
|
.Va nselcoll ,
|
|
and wakeup all threads waiting on the global variable
|
|
.Va selwait
|
|
so that they can handle it.
|
|
If the thread waiting on the object is not currently sleeping or the wait
|
|
channel is not
|
|
.Va selwait ,
|
|
.Fn selwakeup
|
|
will clear the
|
|
.Dv L_SELECT
|
|
flag which should be noted by
|
|
.Xr select 2
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr poll 2
|
|
when they wake up.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn selwakeup
|
|
may acquire and release
|
|
.Va sched_lock .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn selnotify
|
|
calls
|
|
.Fn selwakeup
|
|
and then calls
|
|
.Fn KNOTE
|
|
with
|
|
.Va knhint .
|
|
In most cases,
|
|
.Fn selnotify
|
|
should be used rather than using
|
|
.Fn selwakeup
|
|
directly.
