-A helper function is available to check whether data

+The @funcref{gnutls_record_check_pending} helper function is available to
+allow checking whether data are available to be read in a @acronym{GnuTLS} session
+buffers. Note that this function complements but does not replace @code{select()},
+i.e., @funcref{gnutls_record_check_pending} reports no data to be read, @code{select()}
+should be called to check for data in the network buffers.
