diff between 'wait_event_interruptible' and 'wait_for_completion_interruptible'

Hi,

1) whats the difference between wait_event_interruptible and
wait_for_completion_interruptible ?

2) When is one used in favour of the other ?

3) Why "might_sleep" check is ONLY for "completion" kind of sleep
routines but not for "wait" kind of sleep routines ?

thanks,
tkrishna
