It's an SVR4-emulator running on NetBSD, or a NetBSD-emulator on a generic
SVR4?

Well, I don't know, are there any BSD-ish Unices which has poll, because it
has ``select'' at all, and as in Stevens: Advanced Programming in the UNIX
Environment:

pg 400:
The SVR4 poll function is similar to select, but the programming interface
is different.
pg 396:
The poll function is provided only by SVR4.  SVR4 actually implements select
using poll.
(Well, in the next paragraph, he said, that poll was in SVR3, too - and yes,
it was.)

--> Maybe you can implement poll with select, too.  (It's not Stevens, it's
me.)

And I think, if it's an SVR4-emulator on NetBSD, they (the NBSD team) made
such emulation of poll, with select.

Bye, Gabor
