For sockets, the low water mark and socket error handling is
identical to the EVFILT_READ case.
.It EVFILT_AIO
The sigevent portion of the AIO request is filled in, with
.Va sigev_notify_kqueue
containing the descriptor of the kqueue that the event should
be attached to,
.Va sigev_value
containing the udata value, and
.Va sigev_notify
set to SIGEV_KEVENT.
When the
.Fn aio_*
system call is made, the event will be registered
with the specified kqueue, and the
.Va ident
argument set to the
.Fa struct aiocb
returned by the
.Fn aio_*
system call.
The filter returns under the same conditions as aio_error.

.It EVFILT_PROC
Takes the process ID to monitor as the identifier and the events to watch for

If a process can normally see another process, it can attach an event to it.
The events to monitor are:

The process has exited.
The exit status will be stored in

The process has executed a new process via

.It NOTE_TRACK
Follow a process across
.Fn fork
calls.
The parent process will return with NOTE_TRACK set in the
.Va fflags
field, while the child process will return with NOTE_CHILD set in
.Va fflags

.It NOTE_TRACKERR
This flag is returned if the system was unable to attach an event to
the child process, usually due to resource limitations.

The
