            Bug ID: 66571
           Summary: epoll_wait has it wrong about timeout and EINTR
           Product: Documentation
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: low
          Priority: P1
         Component: man-pages
          Assignee: documentation_man-pages-ztI5WcYan/vQLgFONoPN62D2FQJk+8+b@public.gmane.org
          Reporter: jonas-p4BucIDcVy3iH4Lt12DN6A@public.gmane.org
        Regression: No

The epoll_wait(2) man page says:

"EINTR  The call was interrupted by a signal handler before either any
        of the requested events occurred or the timeout expired; see
        signal(7)."

Looking at the code of the kernel, EINTR is only returned when there is a
pending signal. If the timeout expires, it will simply return without an error.

Simply removing the "or the timeout expired" part should be enough.
