Why do you use kqueue there at all ? Just read from stdin, and decide
that you hit EOF when read returned 0 bytes.

If insisting on using kqueue, which may be ligitimate if you process
other sources besides stdin, you should first investigate the nature of
the fd 0 using fstat, and then use appropriate code for regular file,
pipe and probably socket (e.g. for the case if code allows to run under
inetd(8)).
