Does EPOLLEXCLUSIVE option work with multiple processes?

I'm now working with a server using fork to generate multiple processes to handle network connections. And I saw EPOLLEXCLUSIVE option in epoll_ctl(). In the page, the option is said show that it works with multiple threads program, but later it is said work with multiple processed program.

So I wonder whether the option can work with multiple processes? (It means only wake up one process for the same epollfd that forked from parent process)

Thanks in advance!
