Synopsis: kqueue/kevent man pages isn't specific about `timeout' State-Changed-From-To: closed->open State-Changed-By: nik State-Changed-When: Tue Jun 26 14:36:46 PDT 2001 State-Changed-Why: Jonathan, you're Mr. Kqueue :-). The question is (from a followup to the PR) == The problem is that it is not specified whether the timeout is treated as a _relative_ timespec or as an _absolute_ timespec. Just saying that it is a timespec does not resolve the issue. P.S. My own experiments seem to indicate that the timeout value is treated as being _relative_ to the present moment, i.e. the moment at which the call to kevent(2) is actually made. == Comments?
