10/// Polls an open file for input readability with a timeout.
11///
12/// Returns `Ok(true)` if data is available for reading, `Ok(false)` if the
13/// timeout elapsed without data becoming available.
14///
15/// For regular files, always returns `Ok(true)` immediately since they're
16/// always "ready" (matching bash behavior where `-t` has no effect on regular
17/// files).
18///
19/// # Arguments
20///
21/// * `file` - The open file to poll.
22/// * `timeout` - Maximum time to wait. Use `Duration::ZERO` to check without
23///   blocking.
24///
25/// # Errors
26///
27/// Returns an error if polling fails or the file descriptor cannot be borrowed.
