.SH NOTES
-.LP
-
The \fBepoll\fR(5) facility is implemented for purposes of offering
compatibility for Linux-borne applications; native
applications should continue to prefer using event ports via the
\fBport_create\fR(3C), \fBport_associate\fR(3C) and \fBport_get\fR(3C)
interfaces. See \fBepoll\fR(5) for compatibility details and restrictions.
