// There seems to be a small error in EGLIBC's eventfd.h header. The
// [underlying system call][1] always takes its first `count`
// argument as an `unsigned int`, but [EGLIBC's <sys/eventfd.h>
// header][2] declares it to take an `int`. [GLIBC's header][3]
// matches the kernel.
//
// EGLIBC is no longer actively developed, and Debian, the largest
// distribution that had been using it, switched back to GLIBC in
// April 2015. So effectively all Linux <sys/eventfd.h> headers will
// be using `unsigned int` soon.
