// wakeup_fd abstracts the concept of a file descriptor for the purpose of
// waking up a thread in select()/poll()/epoll_wait()/etc.

// The poll() family of system calls provide a way for a thread to block until
// there is activity on one (or more) of a set of file descriptors. An
// application may wish to wake up this thread to do non file related work. The
// typical way to do this is to add a pipe to the set of file descriptors, then
// write to the pipe to wake up the thread in poll().
//
// Linux has a lighter weight eventfd specifically designed for this purpose.
// wakeup_fd abstracts the difference between the two.
//
// Setup:
// 1. Before calling anything, call global_init() at least once.
// 1. Call grpc_wakeup_fd_init() to set up a wakeup_fd.
// 2. Add the result of GRPC_WAKEUP_FD_FD to the set of monitored file
//    descriptors for the poll() style API you are using. Monitor the file
//    descriptor for readability.
// 3. To tear down, call grpc_wakeup_fd_destroy(). This closes the underlying
//    file descriptor.
//
// Usage:
// 1. To wake up a polling thread, call grpc_wakeup_fd_wakeup() on a wakeup_fd
//    it is monitoring.
// 2. If the polling thread was awakened by a wakeup_fd event, call
//    grpc_wakeup_fd_consume_wakeup() on it.
