Wait on Socket Connections
Description
Waits for the first of several socket connections and server sockets to become available.
Usage
socketSelect(socklist, write = FALSE, timeout = NULL)
Arguments
socklist
list of open socket connections and server sockets.
write
logical. If TRUE wait for corresponding socket to
become available for writing; otherwise wait for it to become
available for reading or for accepting an incoming
connection (server sockets).
timeout
numeric or NULL. Time in seconds to wait for a
socket to become available; NULL means wait
indefinitely.
Details
The values in write are recycled if necessary to make up a
logical vector the same length as socklist. Socket connections
can appear more than once in socklist; this can be useful if
you want to determine whether a socket is available for reading or
writing.
Value
Logical the same length as socklist indicating
whether the corresponding socket connection is available for
output or input, depending on the corresponding value of write.
Server sockets can only become available for input.
Examples
## Not run:
## test whether socket connection s is available for writing or reading
socketSelect(list(s, s), c(TRUE, FALSE), timeout = 0)
## End(Not run)
