This function allows Emacs to read pending output from processes. The
output is inserted in the associated buffers or given to their filter
functions. If @var{process} is non-@code{nil} then this function does
not return until some output has been received from @var{process}.

fractional number of seconds. If @var{seconds} is 0, the function
accepts whatever output is pending but does not wait.
