Heres the man page declaration of select:
	
	Suns 3.2

     nfds = select(width, readfds, writefds, exceptfds, timeout)
     int width, *readfds, *writefds, *exceptfds;
     struct timeval timeout;

Holy shit they changed the man page on me,

	from our 4.2 with MACH extrensions

     nfound = select(nfds, readfds, writefds, exceptfds, timeout)
     int nfound, nfds;
     fd_set *readfds, *writefds, *exceptfds;
     struct timeval *timeout;

Oh well, I'm happy now :-)
