Hi,
It seems polling using "read -t 0" is not supported. Apparently because the
implementation is based on alarm() (as opposed to be based on poll()/select()).
- is this true?
- if yes, doesn't this deserve more explicit documentation?
Would anyone know about an alternative, convenient way to poll() ? Thanks in
advance!
Cheers,
Marc
