If \f[C]ret_event\f[R] is NULL the first event is left at the head of
the queue.
.PP
\f[C]timeout\f[R] determines how long to wait.
If the call times out, false is returned.
Otherwise, if an event ocurred, true is returned.
.PP
For compatibility with all platforms, \f[C]timeout\f[R] must be
2,147,483.647 seconds or less.
