/// Wait for some event on file descriptors.
///
/// The `timeout` argument specifies the number of milliseconds that `poll()`
/// should block waiting for a file descriptor to become ready. Specifying
/// a timeout of zero causes `poll()` to return immediately, even if
/// no file descriptors are ready.
///
/// ## Return value
///
/// On success, it returns a nonnegative value which is the number of events
/// in the `fds` whose `revents` fields have been set to a nonzero value.
///
