.sh versions
.br epoll_create ()
was added to the kernel in version 2.6.
library support is provided in glibc starting with version 2.3.2.
.pp
.\" to be precise: kernel 2.5.44.
.\" the interface should be finalized by linux kernel 2.5.66.
.br epoll_create1 ()
was added to the kernel in version 2.6.27.
library support is provided in glibc starting with version 2.9.
.sh conforming to
.br epoll_create ()
and
.br epoll_create1 ()
are linux-specific.
.sh notes
in the initial
.br epoll_create ()
implementation, the
.i size
argument informed the kernel of the number of file descriptors
that the caller expected to add to the
.b epoll
instance.
the kernel used this information as a hint for the amount of
space to initially allocate in internal data structures describing events.
(if necessary, the kernel would allocate more space
if the caller's usage exceeded the hint given in
.ir size .)
nowadays,
this hint is no longer required
(the kernel dynamically sizes the required data structures
without needing the hint), but
.i size
must still be greater than zero,
in order to ensure backward compatibility when new
.b epoll
applications are run on older kernels.
