select_dequeue(9r)
NAME
  select_dequeue - General: Removes the last kernel thread waiting for an
  event

SYNOPSIS
  void select_dequeue(
	  sel_queue_t *selq );

ARGUMENTS
  selq
      Specifies a pointer to a sel_queue structure.

DESCRIPTION
  The select_dequeue routine removes the last kernel thread waiting for an
  event to occur on the specified device. This routine is called to terminate
  a select call. Typically, a kernel module's xxselect routine calls
  select_dequeue when the kernel sets the scanning argument (for the module's
  xxselect routine) to the value 0 (zero). This value causes the kernel to
  unblock any kernel threads suspended when selecting events for this device.

RETURN VALUES
  None
