request documentation on poll_fd to be updated

[amitmurthy]

Other than the fact that UV_READABLE and UV_WRITABLE are no longer required, the type of fd is not very clear.

I am guessing fd is a RawFD. Will it be the same for a Windows socket too? Or is it a WindowsRawSocket type. While WindowsRawSocket is exported, I don't see a constructor for the same, as exists for RawFD.

WindowsRawSocket is only actually defined on windows.

[amitmurthy]

So, if I am using poll_fd on sockets, and I need to write portable code, should it should be something like

@unix_only fd_obj = RawFD(s)
@windows_only fd_obj = WindowsRawSocket(s) 
poll_fd(fd_obj ....)

where s is a unix socket or a Windows socket handle depending upon the platform?

@loladiro what do you suggest?

[amitmurthy]

@loladiro , can you confirm if poll_fd supports Windows socket handles, and if so, do I pass it in as is or do I have to wrap it with RawFD / WindowsRawSocket .
