105/// `epoll_ctl(self, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, data, event)`—Adds an element to an epoll
106/// object.
107///
108/// This registers interest in any of the events set in `event_flags` occurring
109/// on the file descriptor associated with `data`.
110///
111/// `close`ing a file descriptor does not necessarily unregister interest which
112/// can lead to spurious events being returned from [`epoll::wait`]. If a file
113/// descriptor is an `Arc<dyn SystemResource>`, then `epoll` can be thought to
114/// maintain a `Weak<dyn SystemResource>` to the file descriptor. Check the
115/// [faq] for details.
