NAME
eventfd - Linux-compatible user event notification facility
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/eventfd.h>DESCRIPTION
eventfd is a Linux-borne facility for sending and receiving user events
via a file descriptor. While the facility itself is somewhat dubious
(it can be mimicked in an entirely portable way with a pipe), it is
small and straightforward and this implementation is entirely
compatible with its Linux antecedent; see
eventfd(3C) for details.
