Daniel Stenberg 2b8038e175 libssh2_poll() and libssh2_poll_channel_read() are now considered and
documented deprecated and they will be removed at next soname bump. It also
  saves us from fixing some rather quirky bugs in libssh2_poll()...

.SH NAME
libssh2_poll - poll for activity on a socket, channel or listener
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <libssh2.h>
int libssh2_poll(LIBSSH2_POLLFD *fds, unsigned int nfds, long timeout);
.SH DESCRIPTION
This function is deprecated. Do note use.
Poll for activity on a socket, channel, listener, or any combination of these
three types. The calling semantics for this function generally match
\fIpoll(2)\fP however the structure of fds is somewhat more complex in order
to accommodate the disparate datatypes, POLLFD constants have been namespaced
to avoid platform discrepancies, and revents has additional values defined.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
Number of fds with interesting events.
