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.
