NAME

       io_fd - prepare descriptor for io_wait

SYNTAX

       #include <io.h>

       int io_fd(int64 fd);

DESCRIPTION

       If you want to use io_canread() and io_canwrite() on a descriptor, you have to use io_wait() on it first,
       and io_wait() has to know which descriptors you are interested in.  Use io_fd() for this.

       io_pipe and io_socketpair already call io_fd for you.

       Waiting on descriptors only works for sockets, fifos and pipes.  It may also work on  devices  and  TTYs,
       but that is platform dependent -- you should not rely on that.  It does not work on files.

RETURN VALUE

       io_fd returns 1 on success, 0 on error.
