Subject: Don't mention using poll(2) as a timeout.
X-Git-Url: http://artulab.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6539f00b202ca2db734643b6e5a08d95b4c9801f;p=openbsd

Don't mention using poll(2) as a timeout.

Not a strictly portable use of the interface and there are more suitable
interfaces for timeouts anyway.
