Synopsis: kevent(2) ignores timeout if nevents == 0 State-Changed-From-To: open->feedback State-Changed-By: jmg State-Changed-When: Mon Oct 13 00:46:53 PDT 2003 State-Changed-Why: to quote the man page: If timeout is a non-NULL pointer, it specifies a maximum interval to wait for an event, The behavior is correct since you wanted to wait for 0 events, and since it has delivered all the events it can (none), it returns. Unless provide with good reason (or maybe a patch to the manpage to document this feature?) I will close the PR in 5 days. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=45291
