PPRROOLLOOGG
       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The OS
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding
       OS manual page for details of OS behavior), or the interface may not be
       implemented on OS.

       The _<_s_y_s_/_s_e_l_e_c_t_._h_> header shall define the ttiimmeevvaall structure, which
       shall include at least the following members:

           ttiimmee__tt         ttvv__sseecc      Seconds.
           suseconds_t    tv_usec     Microseconds.

       The _<_s_y_s_/_s_e_l_e_c_t_._h_> header shall define the ttiimmee__tt and ssuusseeccoonnddss__tt types
       as described in _<_s_y_s_/_t_y_p_e_s_._h_>.

       The _<_s_y_s_/_s_e_l_e_c_t_._h_> header shall define the ssiiggsseett__tt type as described
       in _<_s_i_g_n_a_l_._h_>.

       The _<_s_y_s_/_s_e_l_e_c_t_._h_> header shall define the ttiimmeessppeecc structure as
       described in _<_t_i_m_e_._h_>.

       The _<_s_y_s_/_s_e_l_e_c_t_._h_> header shall define the ffdd__sseett type as a structure.

       The _<_s_y_s_/_s_e_l_e_c_t_._h_> header shall define the following symbolic constant,
       which shall have a value suitable for use in ##iiff preprocessing
       directives:

       FD_SETSIZE  Maximum number of file descriptors in an ffdd__sseett structure.

       The following shall be declared as functions, defined as macros, or
       both. If functions are declared, function prototypes shall be provided.

           vvooiidd FFDD__ZZEERROO((ffdd__sseett **));;

       If implemented as macros, these may evaluate their arguments more than
       once, so applications should ensure that the arguments they supply are
       never expressions with side-effects.

       The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as
       macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.

       Inclusion of the _<_s_y_s_/_s_e_l_e_c_t_._h_> header may make visible all symbols
       from the headers _<_s_i_g_n_a_l_._h_> and _<_t_i_m_e_._h_>.
