tcp_select/3

Availability::- use_module(library(socket)).(can be autoloaded)

tcp_select(+ListOfStreams, -ReadyList, +TimeOut)

Same as the built-in wait_for_input/3. Used to allow for interrupts and timeouts on Windows. A redesign of the Windows socket interface makes it impossible to do better than Windows select() call underlying wait_for_input/3. As input multiplexing typically happens in a background thread anyway we accept the loss of timeouts and interrupts.

deprecated: Use wait_for_input/3
