I am obviously missing something here: #include <poll.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdio.h> int main() { int fd, c; struct pollfd pfd; fd=open("/proc/bus/input/devices", O_RDONLY); if(fd==-1) return -1; pfd.fd=fd; pfd.events=POLLIN; while(1) { c=poll(&pfd, 1, 20000); if(c==-1) printf("Error polling\n"); else if(c==0) printf("Timeout\n"); else printf("Something changed"); } } The result, while I detach or attach new devices is: Timeout Timeout Timeout Timeout Timeout bye Alessio -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
