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.
