+ * Waits for multiple file descriptors at once. This is basically a wrapper of

+ * in parallel.
+ *
+ * @param[in] nfds Max FD in everything passed, plus one.
+ * @param[in,out] rfds Set of FDs to wait for reads.
+ * @param[in,out] wfds Set of FDs to wait for writes.
+ * @param[in,out] efds Set of FDs to wait for OOBs.
+ * @param[in,out] timeout Max blocking duration.
+ * @retval -1 Failed, errno set.
+ * @retval 0 Timeout exceeded.
+ * @retval otherwise Total number of file descriptors returned.
+ * @post `rfds` contains readable FDs.
+ * @post `wfds` contains writable FDs.
+ * @post `efds` contains exceptional FDs.
+ * @post `timeout` is the time left.
+ * @note All pointers are allowed to be null pointers.
+ *
+ * Although backend threads can run in parallel of this function, touching a
+ * file descriptor from multiple threads could be problematic. For instance
+ * what happens when a thread closes a file descriptor that is selected by
+ * someone else, vastly varies among operating systems. You would better avoid
+ * touching an fd from more than one threads.
+ *
+ * NOTE: this function is used in native extensions, so change its API with care.

+ *
+ * Although any file descriptors are possible here, it makes completely no
+ * sense to pass a descriptor that is not `O_NONBLOCK`. If you want to know
+ * the reason for this limitation in detail, you might find this thread super
+ * interesting: https://lkml.org/lkml/2004/10/6/117
