Bug#196456: libc6: select() can return ESPIPE on character device -- bewildered
Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.1-17-run1
Severity: normal
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I'm writing a program based off of evtest that reads from the Linux
input event devices and reports the events. The select() call used to
poll the devices is returning an ESPIPE error, fairly frequently.
I've been unable to find any documentation that explains the meaning of
ESPIPE in this context, so I'm unsure if this is a bug in select() or not.
