.TH io_dontwantwrite 3 .SH NAME io_dontwantwrite \- signal that you do not want to write to a descriptor .SH SYNTAX .B #include void \fBio_dontwantwrite\fP(int64 fd); .SH DESCRIPTION io_dontwantwrite tells the next io_wait() that you don't want to write to this descriptor for now. Call io_wantwrite() 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_canwrite(3), io_wantwrite(3), io_fd(3)
