[Bug libc/162] select() says fd's at EOF are ready for reading


------- Additional Comments From stl at nuwen dot net  2004-05-17 01:07 -------
"ready for reading if it is readable" is circular, and "usually includes" is 
vague.

I suggest phrasing it the way that the man page does.  That is:

"A file descriptor is considered ready for reading if a read will not block. 
This does not necessarily mean that there is data waiting to be read; the read 
may indicate end of file or a pending error."
