This ioctl call returns a frontend event if available. If an event is

or non-blocking mode. In the latter case, the call fails immediately
with errno set to EWOULDBLOCK
. In the former case, the call blocks until
an event becomes available.

On success 0 is returned.
On error -1 is returned, and the errno
variable is set
appropriately.
