- * elements whose fd field is set to a negative number are ignored and
- * will not count against this limit.
- *
- * One of the use cases for poll() is to quickly check if a number of
- * file descriptors are valid. The canonical way to do this is to set
- * events to 0 which prevents blocking and causes only the invalid,
- * hangup, and error statuses to be checked.
- *
- * On XNU, the POLLHUP and POLLERR statuses aren't checked unless either
