epoll_create

Create new epoll file descriptor.

Declaration

Source position: linux.pp line 300

function epoll_create(

  size: cint

):cint;

Description

epoll_create creates a new epoll file descriptor. The size argument indicates to the kernel approximately how many structures should be allocated, but is by no means an upper limit.

On success, a file descriptor is returned that can be used in subsequent epoll_ctl or epoll_wait calls, and should be closed using the fpClose call.

Errors

On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set.
