<p>The <code>nn_poll()</code> function polls a group of sockets for readiness to send or receive.</p>

This function is provided for API

<div class="paragraph">
<p>The array of <em>nfds</em> sockets to poll for are passed into <em>pfds</em>.
Each member of this array is initialized with the <code>fd</code> field set to
the socket, and the <code>events</code> field set to a mask that can contain either or both
of the flags <code>NN_POLLIN</code> and <code>NN_POLLOUT</code>.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The flag <code>NN_POLLIN</code> indicates that a socket is ready for receiving without
blocking (a message is available on the socket), and the flag <code>NN_POLLOUT</code>
indicates that a socket is ready for sending without blocking.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Upon success, the function returns the number of updates the <code>revents</code>
field of each member of the <em>pfds</em> array, setting it to indicate
whether the requested status is true or not.</p>

The <code>revents</code> field will only have a flag set if the corresponding
flag was also set in the <code>events</code> field.
</td>
</tr>

</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If the <em>timeout</em> field is positive, then this function will wait for
up the that many milliseconds.
If none of the requested events occurs before that timeout occurs, then
the function will return -1 and set the error to <code>ETIMEDOUT</code>.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If the <em>timeout</em> is zero, then this function will return immediately,
after updating the current status of the sockets.</p>

<p>If the <em>timeout</em> is -1, then the function waits forever, or until one of the
requested events occurs.</p>
