  \begin{funcdesc}{select}{iwtd, owtd, ewtd\optional{, timeout}}
  This is a straightforward interface to the \UNIX{} \cfunction{select()}
! system call.  The first three arguments are lists of `waitable
  objects': either integers representing file descriptors or
  objects with a parameterless method named \method{fileno()} returning
! such an integer.  The three lists of waitable objects are for input,
! output and `exceptional conditions', respectively.  Empty lists are
! allowed, but acceptance of three empty lists is platform-dependent.
  (It is known to work on \UNIX{} but not on Windows.)  The optional
  \var{timeout} argument specifies a time-out as a floating point number
