The nevents argument determines the size of eventlist.  When nevents is zero, 
kevent() will return immediately even if there is a timeout specified unlike 
select(2). https://goo.gl/KyvnZF

[issue29254] Documentation Error

[Ammar Askar]

Ammar Askar added the comment:

Given `slice[start:end]`:

What this line is trying to say is that the slice index is inclusive for the 
start parameter and exclusive for the end parameter.

In mathematical/interval notation this would look like [start, end)

As a quick example look at the word "Python"
Index  012345
Letter Python

If you do word[:2], the result is 'Py', notice how the t is excluded.

[issue29254] Documentation Error

[Suraj Kumar]

New submission from Suraj Kumar:

Hi,

I have found one documentation mistake in section 3.1.2. Strings saying
"""Note how the start is always included, and the end always excluded. This 
makes sure that s[:i] + s[i:] is always equal to s:
>>>word = 'Python'
>>> word[:2] + word[2:]
'Python'
"""

I think instead of 'the end always excluded' it should be 'the end always 
included'.

If my observation is correct, please do the needful change.

Thanks & Regards,
Suraj
