NAME

       io_wantwrite - signal that you want to write to a descriptor

SYNTAX

       #include <libowfat/io.h>

       void io_wantwrite(int64 fd);

DESCRIPTION

       io_wantwrite tells the next io_wait() that you want to write to this descriptor.  Call io_dontwantwrite()
       again if you change your mind.

       The  next  time you call io_wait(), it will look whether this descriptor becomes writeable, too.  You can
       then use io_canwrite() to check whether the descriptor has become writable.

       You have to have called io_fd on the descriptor first  (io_pipe  and  io_socketpair  do  this  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.
