Thank You very much.
Yes, I finally have found that, and discovered documentation for Unix poll() : http://www.scit.wlv.ac.uk/cgi-bin/mansec?2+poll

I am diggin into SocketTransportService
why does SocketTransportService need to call the NSPR PR_Poll() function?
nsSocketTransportService uses NSPR's PR_Poll (which amounts to a call to the poll or select system calls) to wait for any of the sockets (PRFileDesc instances) to become reading for reading, writing, etc. nsSocketTransportService allocates a single background thread on which it calls PR_Poll. This is a core part of how asynchronous socket i/o is implemented by Necko.
