Shellcode Compiler
A custom shellcode compiler for Binary Ninja

# select

    int select(int nfds, fd_set* readfds, fd_set* writefds, fd_set* errorfds, struct timeval* timeout);

Waits for one or more of the file handles in readfs, writefds, or errorfds to become available. Returns early if timeout expires. The nfds parameter must be set to one more than the maximum file handle present.

On return, the sets are updated to include only the file handles that are ready. The return value is the total number of file handles that are ready, or zero on timeout. On error, the negation of the error code is returned.

The following macros can be used to manipulate sets of file handles:

    FD_ZERO(&set);
    FD_SET(fd, &set);
    FD_CLR(fd, &set);
    FD_ISSET(fd, &set);
