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?
