proc epoll_create*(size: cint): cint {.importc: "epoll_create",
    header: "<sys/epoll.h>".}
  ## Creates an epoll instance.  Returns an fd for the new instance.
  ##   The "size" parameter is a hint specifying the number of file
  ##   descriptors to be associated with the new instance.  The fd
  ##   returned by epoll_create() should be closed with close().

proc epoll_create1*(flags: cint): cint {.importc: "epoll_create1",
    header: "<sys/epoll.h>".}
  ## Same as epoll_create but with an FLAGS parameter.  The unused SIZE
  ##   parameter has been dropped.

proc epoll_ctl*(epfd: cint; op: cint; fd: cint | SocketHandle; event: ptr EpollEvent): cint {.
    importc: "epoll_ctl", header: "<sys/epoll.h>".}
  ## Manipulate an epoll instance "epfd". Returns 0 in case of success,
  ##   -1 in case of error ( the "errno" variable will contain the
  ##   specific error code ) The "op" parameter is one of the EPOLL_CTL_*
  ##   constants defined above. The "fd" parameter is the target of the
  ##   operation. The "event" parameter describes which events the caller
  ##   is interested in and any associated user data.

proc epoll_wait*(epfd: cint; events: ptr EpollEvent; maxevents: cint;
                 timeout: cint): cint {.importc: "epoll_wait",
    header: "<sys/epoll.h>".}
  ## Wait for events on an epoll instance "epfd". Returns the number of
  ##   triggered events returned in "events" buffer. Or -1 in case of
  ##   error with the "errno" variable set to the specific error code. The
  ##   "events" parameter is a buffer that will contain triggered
  ##   events. The "maxevents" is the maximum number of events to be
  ##   returned ( usually size of "events" ). The "timeout" parameter
  ##   specifies the maximum wait time in milliseconds (-1 == infinite).
  ##
  ##   This function is a cancellation point and therefore not marked with
  ##   __THROW.

#                  timeout: cint; ss: ptr sigset_t): cint {.
#    importc: "epoll_pwait", header: "<sys/epoll.h>".}
# Same as epoll_wait, but the thread's signal mask is temporarily
#   and atomically replaced with the one provided as parameter.
#
#   This function is a cancellation point and therefore not marked with
#   __THROW.
