+.Dt PSELECT 3
+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm pselect
+.Nd synchronous I/O multiplexing a la POSIX.1g
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libc
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/select.h
+.Ft int
+.Fo pselect
+.Fa "int nfds"
+.Fa "fd_set * restrict readfds"
+.Fa "fd_set * restrict writefds"
+.Fa "fd_set * restrict exceptfds"
+.Fa "const struct timespec * restrict timeout"
+.Fa "const sigset_t * restrict newsigmask"
+.Fc
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn pselect
+function was introduced by
+.St -p1003.1g-2000
+as a slightly stronger version of
+.Xr select 2 .
+The
+.Fa nfds , readfds , writefds ,
+and
+.Fa exceptfds
+arguments are all identical to the analogous arguments of
+.Fn select .
+The
+.Fa timeout
+argument in
+.Fn pselect
+points to a
+.Vt "const struct timespec"
+rather than the (modifiable)
+.Vt "struct timeval"
+used by
+.Fn select ;
+as in
+.Fn select ,
+a null pointer may be passed to indicate that
+.Fn pselect
+should wait indefinitely.
+Finally,
+.Fa newsigmask
+specifies a signal mask which is set while waiting for input.
+When
+.Fn pselect
+returns, the original signal mask is restored.
+.Pp
+See
+.Xr select 2
+for a more detailed discussion of the semantics of this interface, and
+for macros used to manipulate the
+.Vt "fd_set"
+data type.
+.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
+The
+.Fn pselect
+function is implemented in the C library as a wrapper around
+.Fn select .
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Fn pselect
+function returns the same values and under the same conditions as
+.Fn select .
+.Sh ERRORS
+The
+.Fn pselect
+function may fail for any of the reasons documented for
+.Xr select 2
+and (if a signal mask is provided)
+.Xr sigprocmask 2 .
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr kqueue 2 ,
+.Xr poll 2 ,
+.Xr select 2 ,
+.Xr sigprocmask 2
+.Sh STANDARDS
+The
+.Fn pselect
+function conforms to
+.St -p1003.1-2001 .
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Fn pselect
+function first appeared in
+.Fx 5.0 .
+.Sh AUTHORS
+The
+.Fn pselect
+function and this manual page were written by
+.An Garrett Wollman Aq wollman@FreeBSD.org .
