This paragraph in man pages of epoll starts with "Since even with edge-triggered epoll", thus I assume the following sentences of "multiple events can be generated upon receipt of multiple chunks of data" and "that is, an event will be generated upon each receipt of a chunk of data" ought to be talking about EPOLLET naturally. Have I misunderstood something?
