epoll \- Linux-compatible I/O event notification facility

.SH DESCRIPTION
- .LP
-
\fBepoll\fR is a facility for efficient event-oriented I/O that has a
similar model to \fBpoll\fR(2), but does not necessitate rescanning a
set of file descriptors to wait for an event. \fBepoll\fR is of Linux
origins, and this facility is designed to be binary-compatible with
the Linux facility, including the following interfaces:

to waiting for events.

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

these semantics; closing the \fBEPOLL_CTL_ADD\fR'd file descriptor
will always result in no further
events being generated for that event description.
