 /* High-level wrapper around the "poll" system call.

- * Intended usage is for the program's main loop to go about its business
+ * The intended usage is for each thread's main loop to go about its business
  * servicing whatever events it needs to.  Then, when it runs out of immediate
  * tasks, it calls each subordinate module's "wait" function, which in turn
  * calls one (or more) of the functions poll_fd_wait(), poll_immediate_wake(),
  * and poll_timer_wait() to register to be awakened when the appropriate event
  * occurs.  Then the main loop calls poll_block(), which blocks until one of
- * the registered events happens. */

+ * Thread-safety
+ * =============
+ *
+ * The poll set is per-thread, so all functions in this module are thread-safe.
