Which guarantees?
Or rather, what does it mean that a file descriptor becomes available for _____ (reading, ...)?
I could be largely mistaken. But last I checked many commercial Unices guarenteed that when select returned stating that a file descriptor could be read/written to, it was guarenteed to be done in a non-blocking manner, and that applications do depend upon this very behavior.
