The block function will wait the specified amount of time, or forever if 0 is specified, for one of the specified pipe ends to have data for reading, or space for writing.
|

The block function returns a list of those descriptors that have become ready. This list will usually contain only one descriptor.

If no pipe end has become ready by the time the timeout period has elapsed, block returns FAIL.
