    epoll_create

    Create new epoll file descriptor.

    Declaration

    Source position: linux.pp line 308

    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.
