.TH io_dontwantread 3 .SH NAME io_dontwantread \- signal that you do not want to read from a descriptor .SH SYNTAX .B #include void \fBio_dontwantread\fP(int64 fd); .SH DESCRIPTION io_dontwantread tells the next io_wait() that you don't want to read from this descriptor for now. Call io_wantread() again if you change your mind. You have to have called io_fd on the descriptor first (io_pipe and io_socketpair do this for you). Waiting on descriptors only works for sockets, fifos and pipes. It may also work on devices and TTYs, but that is platform dependent -- you should not rely on that. .SH "SEE ALSO" io_wait(3), io_canread(3), io_wantread(3), io_fd(3)
