SysV system calls

[Dave Ford]

Help!  Does anyone know of a System V system call that will return the
number of bytes on a fifo that are readable without actually reading the
fifo?  I am running 3.5 on a 3b1 if that helps.  Sure would be nice not
to have to simulate this service (if indeed it can be simulated).

Please E-mail responses; I will post a summary if interest merits.  Thanks
in advance.
