[syslog-ng] [Bug 135] pipe() source missing follow_freq() option

[Patrick H.]

I havent looked at the code, but whats the behavior that is used when 
reading from pipes? There's 2 ways of seeing if theres data on a pipe, 
doing a periodic non-blocking read, and doing a select. From the 
documentation it sounded like doing a non-blocking read was the default 
behavior to check if theres data on the pipe, and that setting 
follow-freq to 0 changed it to a select() call. So without having this 
option available, which does it use?
