- I have noticed that in the TCB there is a field called "selectSem".
- I suspect that if you post to this sem while a task is in select()
- it will cause that task to drop out of select().
-
- Admittedly Not a great thing to do if you want to remain
- portable (and independent of vxWorks release number).
