this thread sleeps max(0, read_freq - (timeout / 1000)) seconds.
But if timeout is None it may be different because poll is
blocking waiting for something to read.</li>
<li><strong class="pname"><code>threshold</code></strong> (int) - File descriptor will be read only if the accumulated size to read
becomes >= threshold. If != 0, you likely want to use it in
combination with an appropriate value for read_freq because
without that you would keep looping without really reading
anything and that until the amount of events to read is >=
threshold. At least with read_freq set you might sleep.</li>
<li><strong class="pname"><code>timeout</code></strong> (int) - see read_freq above. If provided, it must be set in milliseconds.

<p>Coalescing events. Events are usually processed by batchs, their size
depend on various factors. Thus, before processing them, events received
from inotify are aggregated in a fifo queue. If this coalescing option is
enabled events are filtered based on their unicity, only unique events
are enqueued, doublons are discarded. An event is unique when the
combination of its fields (wd, mask, cookie, name) is unique among events
of a same batch. After a batch of events is processed any events is
accepted again. By default this option is disabled, you have to explictly
call this function to turn it on.</p>
