POLLERR would only be set for an RST and "exceptional conditions"; the

There is some inconsistency with handling FIN and sockets across
platforms: http://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/2001/06/poll.html but yes
you'd generally expect POLLIN for "you can read EOF".
On curl-library list there was a similar thread about poll on MacOsX:
'poll & Mac OS X 10.4'

poll
This API is not supported in Mac OS X, instead, the function select is
used. The select function does synchronous I/O multiplexing, similar to
poll. This API is located in the following header files: <sys/types.h>,
<sys/time.h>, <unistd.h> The select API is defined as follow:
---
int select(int nfds, fd_set *readfds, fd_set *writefds,
fd_set *exceptfds, struct timeval *timeout);
---
The behavior of select is not exactly the same as poll, so you will have
to alter your code. select gives you a number of macros to manipulate
the file descriptor returned, which is done differently in poll
An alternative to avoid changing your code is to use a wrapper around
select, such as fakepoll.h. Simply include the file fakepoll.h in your
code, and the library does the rest of the work. See
sealiesoftware.com/fakepoll.h for more information about fakepoll.h.
Note: fakepoll.h is a third-party library and not supported by Apple.
