 Conditions under which \fIproc\fR should be called:
 OR-ed combination of \fBTCL_READABLE\fR, \fBTCL_WRITABLE\fR,
 and \fBTCL_EXCEPTION\fR.  May be set to 0 to temporarily disable
 a handler.
 .AP Tcl_FileProc *proc in
 Procedure to invoke whenever the file or device indicated
 by \fIfile\fR meets the conditions specified by \fImask\fR.
 .AP ClientData clientData in
 Arbitrary one-word value to pass to \fIproc\fR.
 .BE

 .SH DESCRIPTION
 .PP
 .VS
 \fBTcl_CreateFileHandler\fR arranges for \fIproc\fR to be
 invoked in the future whenever I/O becomes possible on a file
 or an exceptional condition exists for the file.  The file
 is indicated by \fIfd\fR, and the conditions of interest
 .VE
 are indicated by \fImask\fR.  For example, if \fImask\fR
 is \fBTCL_READABLE\fR, \fIproc\fR will be called when
 the file is readable.
 The callback to \fIproc\fR is made by \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR, so
 \fBTcl_CreateFileHandler\fR is only useful in programs that dispatch
 events through \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR or through Tcl commands such
 as \fBvwait\fR.
 .PP
 \fIProc\fR should have arguments and result that match the
 type \fBTcl_FileProc\fR:
 .CS
 typedef void Tcl_FileProc(
 	ClientData \fIclientData\fR,
 	int \fImask\fR);
 .CE
 The \fIclientData\fR parameter to \fIproc\fR is a copy
 of the \fIclientData\fR
 argument given to \fBTcl_CreateFileHandler\fR when the callback
 was created.  Typically, \fIclientData\fR points to a data
 structure containing application-specific information about
 the file.  \fIMask\fR is an integer mask indicating which
 of the requested conditions actually exists for the file;  it
 will contain a subset of the bits in the \fImask\fR argument
 to \fBTcl_CreateFileHandler\fR.
 .PP
 .PP
 There may exist only one handler for a given file at a given time.
 If \fBTcl_CreateFileHandler\fR is called when a handler already
 exists for \fIfd\fR, then the new callback replaces the information
 that was previously recorded.
 .PP
 \fBTcl_DeleteFileHandler\fR may be called to delete the
 file handler for \fIfd\fR;  if no handler exists for the
 file given by \fIfd\fR then the procedure has no effect.
 .PP
 The purpose of file handlers is to enable an application to respond to
 events while waiting for files to become ready for I/O.  For this to work
 correctly, the application may need to use non-blocking I/O operations on
 the files for which handlers are declared.  Otherwise the application may
 block if it reads or writes too much data; while waiting for the I/O to
 complete the application won't be able to service other events. Use
 \fBTcl_SetChannelOption\fR with \fB\-blocking\fR to set the channel into
 blocking or nonblocking mode as required.
 .PP
 .VS
 Note that these interfaces are only supported by the Unix
 implementation of the Tcl notifier.
