Exception conditions on pcap descriptors?

[Fernando Gont <fernando () gont com ar>]

Folks,

I'm doing I/O multiplexing by obtaining the underlying file descriptor
for the pcap_t "socket", with pcap_fileno().

I was wondering whether I should check for exceptions on such descriptor
(in addition to readability and writeability), and whether such
exceptions could possibly occur (and if so, what the possible causes of
such exceptions could be).

Thanks!

Best regards,
