Function wasi::io::poll::poll

source ·
pub fn poll(in_: &[&Pollable]) -> Vec<u32>
Expand description

Poll for completion on a set of pollables.

This function takes a list of pollables, which identify I/O sources of interest, and waits until one or more of the events is ready for I/O.

The result list<u32> contains one or more indices of handles in the argument list that is ready for I/O.

If the list contains more elements than can be indexed with a u32 value, this function traps.

A timeout can be implemented by adding a pollable from the wasi-clocks API to the list.

This function does not return a result; polling in itself does not do any I/O so it doesn’t fail. If any of the I/O sources identified by the pollables has an error, it is indicated by marking the source as being reaedy for I/O.
