+By default, polling is done in oneshot mode, which means interest in I/O events needs to
+be re-enabled after an event is delivered if we're interested in the next event of the same
+kind. However, level and edge triggered modes are also available for certain operating
+systems. See the documentation of the [`PollMode`] type for more information.
