-.TH BUS_POLL 3 BUS-%VERSION%
-.SH NAME
-bus_poll_start, bus_poll_stop, bus_poll, bus_poll_timed - Wait a message to be broadcasted
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.LP
-.nf
-#include <bus.h>
-.P
-int bus_poll_start(bus_t *\fIbus\fP);
-int bus_poll_stop(const bus_t *\fIbus\fP);
-const char *bus_poll(bus_t *\fIbus\fP, int \fIflags\fP);
-const char *bus_poll_timed(bus_t *\fIbus\fP, const struct timespec *\fItimeout\fP, clockid_t \fIclockid\fP);
-.fi
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The
-.BR bus_poll ()
-function waits for a message to be broadcasted on the \fIbus\fP, and return
-the message it receives. The function fails if (\fIflags\fP &BUS_NOWAIT)
-and there is not already a message waiting on the bus. Received messages
-shall be copied and parsed, and acted upon, in a separate thread, and
-.BR bus_poll ()
-or
-.BR bus_poll_stop ()
-called again as soon as possible.
-.PP
-The
-.BR bus_poll_start ()
-funcion must be called before
-.BR bus_poll ()
-is called for the first time. When the process is done listening on the
-bus it must call the
-.BR bus_poll_stop ()
-function.
-.PP
-The
-.BR bus_poll_timed ()
-function behaves like
-.BR bus_poll (),
-except if it is not able to read a message within the specified time,
-it will fail and set \fIerrno\fP to \fBEAGAIN\fP. The time is specified
-as an absolute time using the parameter \fItimeout\fP. The behaviour is
-unspecified if \fItimeout\fP is \fINULL\fP. \fItimeout\fP is measured
-with the clock whose ID is specified by the \fIclockid\fP parameter. This
-clock must be a predicitable clock.
-.SH RETURN VALUES
-Upon successful completion, the functions
-.BR bus_poll_start ()
-and
-.BR bus_poll_stop ()
-returns 0. Otherwise the functions returns -1 and sets \fIerrno\fP to
-indicate the error.
-.PP
-Upon successful completion, the functions
-.BR bus_poll ()
-and
-.BR bus_poll_timed ()
-returns the received message. Otherwise the function returns \fINULL\fP
-and sets \fIerrno\fP to indicate the error.
-.SH ERRORS
-The
-.BR bus_poll (3),
-.BR bus_poll_start (3)
-and
-.BR bus_poll_stop (3)
-functions may fail and set \fIerrno\fP to any of the errors specified for
-.BR semop (3).
-The
-.BR bus_poll_timed (3)
-function may also set \fIerrno\fP to any of the errors specified for
-.BR clock_gettime (3).
