Is there any docs about apr_poll? No docs is in the web page http://apr.apache.org and no docs about apr is with the software.
In this way is very hard to use apr for a new user.
For example there is no dcs about all these define
#define APR_POLLIN 0x001 00087 #define APR_POLLPRI 0x002 00088 #define APR_POLLOUT 0x004 00089 #define APR_POLLERR 0x010 00090 #define APR_POLLHUP 0x020 00091 #define APR_POLLNVAL 0x040
What are the differences ?
Can someone tell me how to use apr_poll or where I can find more docs?
Thanks very much

Hi all,
because of my failure using threads in apache 1.3.x with apr (apache mail list tells me that using threads with apache 1.3 isn't possible), I decided to replace threads with apr_poll.
I don't know much about apr_poll: my purpose was to use threads to execute different connections simultanealy.
Is it possible using apr_poll?
Does it execute no blocking IO?
Thanks for your advice

Apache 1.3 on Unix uses uses blocking network i/o and signals for doing timeouts. It would be possible to do non-blocking network i/o but then you'd have to deal with all the state information (i/o buffers, et. al.) that resides on the call stack.
