+1 for EV_RECEIPT ("just tell me about errors, don't drain any
events").  I had a vague memory that it caused portability problems.
Just checked... it was OpenBSD I was thinking of, but they finally
added that flag in 6.2 (2017).  Our older-than-that BF OpenBSD animal
recently retired so that should be fine.  (Yes, without EV_CLEAR it's
"level triggered" not "edge triggered" in epoll terminology, so the
way I had it was not broken, but the way you're suggesting would be
nicer.)  Note that you'll have to skip data == 0 (no error) too.

+ #ifdef HAVE_SYS_EVENT_H
+ /* macOS doesn't define the time unit macros, but uses milliseconds
by default. */
+ #ifndef NOTE_MSECONDS
+ #define NOTE_MSECONDS 0
+ #endif
+ #endif

While comparing the cousin OSs' man pages just now, I noticed that
it's not only macOS that lacks NOTE_MSECONDS, it's also OpenBSD and
NetBSD < 10.  Maybe just delete that cruft ^^^ and use literal 0 in
fflags directly.  FreeBSD, and recently also NetBSD, decided to get
fancy with high resolution timers, but 0 gets the traditional unit of
milliseconds on all platforms (I just wrote it like that because I
started from FreeBSD and didn't know the history/portability story).
