SelectText executes the FpSelect call on a file of type Text. You can specify a timeout in TimeOut. The SelectText call determines itself whether it should check for read or write, depending on how the file was opened : With Reset it is checked for reading, with Rewrite and Append it is checked for writing.
See #rtl.baseunix.FpSelect. SYS_EBADF can also mean that the file wasn't opened.
