;) sorry:

epoll_wait returned
epoll_wait returned
epoll_wait returned
epoll_wait returned
epoll_wait returned
epoll_wait returned
epoll_wait returned
epoll_wait returned
epoll_wait returned
epoll_wait returned


minimal example:

>>>>>>>>>>>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <sys/epoll.h>

#define	AMAX 16

static void *runner(void *args)
{
	int fd = (int) *((int *) args);
	struct epoll_event events[AMAX];

	epoll_wait(fd, events, AMAX, -1);
	write(1, "epoll_wait returned\n", 20);

	return NULL;
}

int main(int ac, char **av)
{
	int i, evfd, pipefd[2];
	pthread_t thread_id[2];
	struct epoll_event epoll_ev;

	pipe(pipefd);
	evfd = epoll_create(64);

	memset(&epoll_ev, 0, sizeof(struct epoll_event));
	epoll_ev.events   = EPOLLIN | EPOLLPRI | EPOLLERR | EPOLLHUP;
	epoll_ctl(evfd, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, pipefd[0], &epoll_ev);

	for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
		pthread_create(&thread_id[0], NULL, runner, &evfd);

	sleep(1);
	close(pipefd[1]);
	write(pipefd[0], "x", 1);
	sleep(1);

	return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
