NAME

       io_fd_canwrite - prepare descriptor for io_wait

SYNTAX

       #include <libowfat/io.h>

       int io_fd(int64 fd); int io_fd_canwrite(int64 fd);

DESCRIPTION

       io_fd_canwrite  is  just  like io_fd, except that it assumes the descriptor is writable, which may save a
       syscall or two.  This assumption is true in most cases, because the kernel  buffers  writes.   Noteworthy
       cases  in  which  you  need to use io_fd instead of io_fd_canwrite are unconnected sockets, i.e. when you
       queued a non-blocking connect() and want to ask for writability to get notified when it went through.

       It is OK to call this function on a descriptor that io_fd() has already been called on.

RETURN VALUE

       io_fd_canwrite returns 1 on success, 0 on error.
