NAME epoll_create - open an epoll file descriptor CONTENTS Synopsis Description Errors Conforming To SYNOPSIS #include <sys/epoll.h> "int epoll_create(int "size) DESCRIPTION Open an epoll file descriptor by requesting the kernel allocate an event backing store dimensioned for size descriptors. The size is not the maximum size of the backing store but just a hint to the kernel about how to dimension internal structures. The returned file descriptor will be used for all the subsequent calls to the epoll interface. The file descriptor returned by epoll_create(2) must be closed by using close(2). "RETURN VALUE" When successful, epoll_create(2) returns a positive integer identifying the descriptor. When an error occurs, epoll_create(2) returns -1 and errno is set appropriately. ERRORS
