I'm not so sure. If the epoll documentation were clear enough (which at the moment, frankly, it isn't), I think there's a good chance users would not be confused by the difference between level-triggered and edge-triggered events.
I'd be happy to contribute better doc... has the man page for sys_epoll been written yet? - Dan
