If an event is +not available, the behavior depends on whether the device is in blocking +or non-blocking mode. In the latter case, the call fails immediately +with errno set to ``EWOULDBLOCK``. In the former case, the call blocks until +an event becomes available. + + +Return Value +============ + +On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set +appropriately.
