.. method:: epoll.poll(timeout=None, maxevents=-1)

Wait for events.
Wait for events. Return a list of ``(fd, eventmask)`` tuples if there's any
event. Otherwise, an empty list is returned. See the :ref:`epoll-objects`
section above for the event constants.

If *timeout* is given, it specifies the length of time in seconds
(may be non-integer) which the system will wait for events before returning.

*maxevents* specifies the maximum number of events to return. It must be
greater than 0, or ``-1`` to use the default (``FD_SETSIZE-1``).
