Questions Tagged [epoll]

epoll is a Linux 2.6 readiness notification API for sockets, pipes, and special event-, signal-, and timer descriptors which can operate both in level- and edge-triggered mode, although presently only level-triggered behaviour is in accordance with the documentation. As opposed to poll or select, epoll scales O(1) in respect to the number of descriptors and O(N) in respect realized events.
