FIONREAD with select

FIONREAD with select

[Nick Roberts]

I'm trying to get Gpm (a mouse server for a console) to work with Emacs through
a Unix socket.  To do this I am using select in read_avail_input to catch mouse
events (on gpm_fd) and usual keyboard input (input_fd).  For some reason with
keyboard input, after passing through select,

ioctl (input_fd, FIONREAD, &n_to_read)

always reports no bytes to read (without select it's always 1).

Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

FIONREAD works fine, the problem is elsewhere.  Sorry for the noise.
