from the single unix standard:
On failure, the objects pointed to by the readfds, writefds,
and errorfds arguments are not modified. If the timeout interval
expires without the specified condition being true for any of
the specified file descriptors, the objects pointed to by the
readfds, writefds, and errorfds arguments have all bits set to 0.
