.TH io_fd_canwrite 3
.SH NAME
io_fd_canwrite \- prepare descriptor for io_wait
.SH SYNTAX
.B #include <io.h>

int \fBio_fd\fP(int64 fd);
int \fBio_fd_canwrite\fP(int64 fd);
.SH DESCRIPTION
io_fd_canwrite is just like io_fd, except that it assumes the descriptor
is writable, which may save a syscall or two.  This assumption is true
in most cases, because the kernel buffers writes.  Noteworthy cases in
which you need to use io_fd instead of io_fd_canwrite are unconnected
sockets, i.e. when you queued a non-blocking connect() and want to ask
for writability to get notified when it went through.

It is OK to call this function on a descriptor that io_fd() has already
been called on.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
io_fd_canwrite returns 1 on success, 0 on error.
