epoll_create
Create new epoll file descriptor
Declaration
Source position: linux.pp line 293
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.
