18.3. "select" --- Waiting for I/O 完成
***************************************

======================================================================

This module provides access to the "select()" and "poll()" functions
available in most operating systems, "devpoll()" available on Solaris
and derivatives, "epoll()" available on Linux 2.5+ and "kqueue()"
available on most BSD. Note that on Windows, it only works for
sockets; on other operating systems, it also works for other file
types (in particular, on Unix, it works on pipes). It cannot be used
on regular files to determine whether a file has grown since it was
last read.

注解: The "selectors" module allows high-level and efficient I/O
  multiplexing, built upon the "select" module primitives. Users are
  encouraged to use the "selectors" module instead, unless they want
  precise control over the OS-level primitives used.

该模块定义以下内容：

exception select.error

   一个被弃用的 "OSError" 的别名。

   在 3.3 版更改: 根据 **PEP 3151**，这个类是 "OSError" 的别名。

select.devpoll()

   (Only supported on Solaris and derivatives.)  Returns a "/dev/poll"
   polling object; see section /dev/poll Polling Objects below for the
   methods supported by devpoll objects.

   "devpoll()" objects are linked to the number of file descriptors
   allowed at the time of instantiation. If your program reduces this
   value, "devpoll()" will fail. If your program increases this value,
   "devpoll()" may return an incomplete list of active file
   descriptors.

   新的文件描述符 non-inheritable.

   3.3 新版功能.

   在 3.4 版更改: 新的文件描述符现在是不可继承的。

select.epoll(sizehint=-1, flags=0)

   (Only supported on Linux 2.5.44 and newer.) Return an edge polling
   object, which can be used as Edge or Level Triggered interface for
   I/O events.

   *sizehint* informs epoll about the expected number of events to be
   registered.  It must be positive, or *-1* to use the default. It is
   only used on older systems where "epoll_create1()" is not
   available; otherwise it has no effect (though its value is still
   checked).

   *flags* is deprecated and completely ignored.  However, when
   supplied, its value must be "0" or "select.EPOLL_CLOEXEC",
   otherwise "OSError" is raised.

   See the Edge and Level Trigger Polling (epoll) Objects section
   below for the methods supported by epolling objects.

   "epoll" objects support the context management protocol: when used
   in a "with" statement, the new file descriptor is automatically
   closed at the end of the block.

   新的文件描述符 non-inheritable.

   在 3.3 版更改: 增加了 *flags* 参数。

   在 3.4 版更改: Support for the "with" statement was added. The new
   file descriptor is now non-inheritable.

   3.4 版后已移除: The *flags* parameter.  "select.EPOLL_CLOEXEC" is
   used by default now. Use "os.set_inheritable()" to make the file
   descriptor inheritable.

select.poll()

   (Not supported by all operating systems.)  Returns a polling
   object, which supports registering and unregistering file
   descriptors, and then polling them for I/O events; see section
   Polling Objects below for the methods supported by polling objects.

select.kqueue()

   (Only supported on BSD.)  Returns a kernel queue object; see
   section Kqueue 对象 below for the methods supported by kqueue
   objects.

   新的文件描述符 non-inheritable.

   在 3.4 版更改: 新的文件描述符现在是不可继承的。

select.kevent(ident, filter=KQ_FILTER_READ, flags=KQ_EV_ADD, fflags=0, data=0, udata=0)

   (Only supported on BSD.)  Returns a kernel event object; see
   section Kevent 对象 below for the methods supported by kevent
   objects.

select.select(rlist, wlist, xlist[, timeout])

   This is a straightforward interface to the Unix "select()" system
   call. The first three arguments are sequences of 'waitable
   objects': either integers representing file descriptors or objects
   with a parameterless method named "fileno()" returning such an
   integer:

   * *rlist*: wait until ready for reading

   * *wlist*: wait until ready for writing

   * *xlist*: wait for an "exceptional condition" (see the manual
     page for what your system considers such a condition)

   Empty sequences are allowed, but acceptance of three empty
   sequences is platform-dependent. (It is known to work on Unix but
   not on Windows.)  The optional *timeout* argument specifies a time-
   out as a floating point number in seconds.  When the *timeout*
   argument is omitted the function blocks until at least one file
   descriptor is ready.  A time-out value of zero specifies a poll and
   never blocks.

   The return value is a triple of lists of objects that are ready:
   subsets of the first three arguments.  When the time-out is reached
   without a file descriptor becoming ready, three empty lists are
   returned.

   Among the acceptable object types in the sequences are Python *file
   objects* (e.g. "sys.stdin", or objects returned by "open()" or
   "os.popen()"), socket objects returned by "socket.socket()".  You
   may also define a *wrapper* class yourself, as long as it has an
   appropriate "fileno()" method (that really returns a file
   descriptor, not just a random integer).

   注解: File objects on Windows are not acceptable, but sockets
     are.  On Windows, the underlying "select()" function is provided
     by the WinSock library, and does not handle file descriptors that
     don't originate from WinSock.

   在 3.5 版更改: The function is now retried with a recomputed
   timeout when interrupted by a signal, except if the signal handler
   raises an exception (see **PEP 475** for the rationale), instead of
   raising "InterruptedError".

select.PIPE_BUF

   The minimum number of bytes which can be written without blocking
   to a pipe when the pipe has been reported as ready for writing by
   "select()", "poll()" or another interface in this module.  This
   doesn't apply to other kind of file-like objects such as sockets.

   This value is guaranteed by POSIX to be at least 512.
   Availability: Unix.

   3.2 新版功能.


18.3.1. "/dev/poll" Polling Objects
===================================

Solaris and derivatives have "/dev/poll". While "select()" is
O(highest file descriptor) and "poll()" is O(number of file
descriptors), "/dev/poll" is O(active file descriptors).

"/dev/poll" behaviour is very close to the standard "poll()" object.

devpoll.close()

   Close the file descriptor of the polling object.

   3.4 新版功能.

devpoll.closed

   "True" if the polling object is closed.

   3.4 新版功能.

devpoll.fileno()

   Return the file descriptor number of the polling object.

   3.4 新版功能.

devpoll.register(fd[, eventmask])

   Register a file descriptor with the polling object.  Future calls
   to the "poll()" method will then check whether the file descriptor
   has any pending I/O events.  *fd* can be either an integer, or an
   object with a "fileno()" method that returns an integer.  File
   objects implement "fileno()", so they can also be used as the
   argument.

   *eventmask* is an optional bitmask describing the type of events
   you want to check for. The constants are the same that with
   "poll()" object. The default value is a combination of the
   constants "POLLIN", "POLLPRI", and "POLLOUT".

   警告: Registering a file descriptor that's already registered is
     not an error, but the result is undefined. The appropriate action
     is to unregister or modify it first. This is an important
     difference compared with "poll()".

devpoll.modify(fd[, eventmask])

   This method does an "unregister()" followed by a "register()". It
   is (a bit) more efficient that doing the same explicitly.

devpoll.unregister(fd)

   Remove a file descriptor being tracked by a polling object.  Just
   like the "register()" method, *fd* can be an integer or an object
   with a "fileno()" method that returns an integer.

   Attempting to remove a file descriptor that was never registered is
   safely ignored.

devpoll.poll([timeout])

   Polls the set of registered file descriptors, and returns a
   possibly-empty list containing "(fd, event)" 2-tuples for the
   descriptors that have events or errors to report. *fd* is the file
   descriptor, and *event* is a bitmask with bits set for the reported
   events for that descriptor --- "POLLIN" for waiting input,
   "POLLOUT" to indicate that the descriptor can be written to, and so
   forth. An empty list indicates that the call timed out and no file
   descriptors had any events to report. If *timeout* is given, it
   specifies the length of time in milliseconds which the system will
   wait for events before returning. If *timeout* is omitted, -1, or
   "None", the call will block until there is an event for this poll
   object.

   在 3.5 版更改: The function is now retried with a recomputed
   timeout when interrupted by a signal, except if the signal handler
   raises an exception (see **PEP 475** for the rationale), instead of
   raising "InterruptedError".

   raises an exception (see **PEP 475** for the rationale), instead of
   raising "InterruptedError".


18.3.3. Polling Objects
=======================

The "poll()" system call, supported on most Unix systems, provides
better scalability for network servers that service many, many clients
at the same time. "poll()" scales better because the system call only
requires listing the file descriptors of interest, while "select()"
builds a bitmap, turns on bits for the fds of interest, and then
afterward the whole bitmap has to be linearly scanned again.
"select()" is O(highest file descriptor), while "poll()" is O(number
of file descriptors).

poll.register(fd[, eventmask])

   Register a file descriptor with the polling object.  Future calls
   to the "poll()" method will then check whether the file descriptor
   has any pending I/O events.  *fd* can be either an integer, or an
   object with a "fileno()" method that returns an integer.  File
   objects implement "fileno()", so they can also be used as the
   argument.

   *eventmask* is an optional bitmask describing the type of events
   you want to check for, and can be a combination of the constants
   "POLLIN", "POLLPRI", and "POLLOUT", described in the table below.
   If not specified, the default value used will check for all 3 types
   of events.

   Registering a file descriptor that's already registered is not an
   error, and has the same effect as registering the descriptor
   exactly once.

poll.modify(fd, eventmask)

   Modifies an already registered fd. This has the same effect as
   "register(fd, eventmask)".  Attempting to modify a file descriptor
   that was never registered causes an "OSError" exception with errno
   "ENOENT" to be raised.

poll.unregister(fd)

   Remove a file descriptor being tracked by a polling object.  Just
   like the "register()" method, *fd* can be an integer or an object
   with a "fileno()" method that returns an integer.

   Attempting to remove a file descriptor that was never registered
   causes a "KeyError" exception to be raised.

poll.poll([timeout])

   Polls the set of registered file descriptors, and returns a
   possibly-empty list containing "(fd, event)" 2-tuples for the
   descriptors that have events or errors to report. *fd* is the file
   descriptor, and *event* is a bitmask with bits set for the reported
   events for that descriptor --- "POLLIN" for waiting input,
   "POLLOUT" to indicate that the descriptor can be written to, and so
   forth. An empty list indicates that the call timed out and no file
   descriptors had any events to report. If *timeout* is given, it
   specifies the length of time in milliseconds which the system will
   wait for events before returning. If *timeout* is omitted,
   negative, or "None", the call will block until there is an event
   for this poll object.

   在 3.5 版更改: The function is now retried with a recomputed
   timeout when interrupted by a signal, except if the signal handler
   raises an exception (see **PEP 475** for the rationale), instead of
   raising "InterruptedError".


18.3.4. Kqueue 对象
===================

kqueue.close()

   Close the control file descriptor of the kqueue object.

kqueue.closed

   "True" if the kqueue object is closed.

kqueue.fileno()

   Return the file descriptor number of the control fd.

kqueue.fromfd(fd)

   Create a kqueue object from a given file descriptor.

kqueue.control(changelist, max_events[, timeout=None]) -> eventlist

   Low level interface to kevent

   * changelist must be an iterable of kevent object or "None"

   * max_events must be 0 or a positive integer

   * timeout in seconds (floats possible)

   在 3.5 版更改: The function is now retried with a recomputed
   timeout when interrupted by a signal, except if the signal handler
   raises an exception (see **PEP 475** for the rationale), instead of
   raising "InterruptedError".


18.3.5. Kevent 对象
===================

https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=kqueue&sektion=2

kevent.ident

   Value used to identify the event. The interpretation depends on the
   filter but it's usually the file descriptor. In the constructor
   ident can either be an int or an object with a "fileno()" method.
   kevent stores the integer internally.

kevent.filter

   内核过滤器的名称。
