libssh2_poll(3)                     libssh2                    libssh2_poll(3)

NAME
       libssh2_poll - poll for activity on a socket, channel or listener

SYNOPSIS
       #include <libssh2.h>

       int
       libssh2_poll(LIBSSH2_POLLFD *fds, unsigned int nfds, long timeout);

DESCRIPTION
       This function is deprecated. Do note use. We encourage users to instead
       use the poll(3) or select(3) functions to check for socket activity or
       when specific sockets are ready to get received from or send to.

       Poll for activity on a socket, channel, listener, or any combination of
       these three types. The calling semantics for this function generally
       match poll(2) however the structure of fds is somewhat more complex in
       order to accommodate the disparate datatypes, POLLFD constants have
       been namespaced to avoid platform discrepancies, and revents has
       additional values defined.

RETURN VALUE
       Number of fds with interesting events.
