Originally it wasn't able to deal even with stdin [1] and supported only network sockets. Also, there was a bug in macOS 10.12 [2] that was fixed in 10.12.2. And gnustep has a test for the /dev/null bug [3]. Since [3] was done 11 years ago I haven't submitted a ticket for the issue but I'm surely can do that and then I'd add a tag to commit message or a comment: Apple-Feedback: FB<ISSUE NUMBER> Would that work for you? 1. https://lists.apple.com/archives/darwin-dev/2006/Apr/msg00064.html 2. https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2016/10/11/poll-on-mac-10-12-is-broken/ 3. https://github.com/gnustep/libs-base/blob/master/config/config.poll-dev.c Thanks, Roman
