Unixqueue.event_system</title> </head> <body> <div class="navbar"> <a href="Unixqueue.html">Up</a> </div> <center><h1>Class type <a href="type_Unixqueue.event_system.html">Unixqueue.event_system</a></h1></center> <br> <pre><span class="keyword">class type</span> <a name="TYPEevent_system"></a>event_system = <code class="code">object</code> <a href="Unixqueue.event_system.html">..</a> <code class="code">end</code></pre>The <code class="code">event_system</code> manages events, handlers, resources, groups, etc. It is now a class type, and you may invoke the operations directly for the class. The operations are still available as functions (below). <p> A <b>resource</b> is an operation with an optional timer. The operation describes the condition to watch for, and the timer defines the maximum period of time for that. If the condition becomes true, an <code class="code">Input_arrived</code>, <code class="code">Output_readiness</code>, or <code class="code">Out_of_band</code> event will be triggered. If the timer expires, a <code class="code">Timeout</code> event will be generated. After the event the resource remains active, and the timeout period begins anew. <p> A resource is usually bound to a file descriptor. It is allowed to watch the same descriptor for several different conditions, but it is forbidden to watch the same descriptor for the same kind of condition several times. <p> As a special case, the operation <code class="code">Wait</code> is not bound to a file descriptor, but simply starts a timer. The argument of <code class="code">Wait</code> can be used to distinguish between several timers that are active at the same time. <p> <b>Event handlers</b> get the events one after the other, and process them. When a handler is called for an event, there are several possible reactions: (1) The handler can return normally, which means that the event has been accepted, and will not be passed to any other handler. (2) The handler can raise <a href="Equeue.html#EXCEPTIONReject"><code class="code">Equeue.Reject</code></a>, which means that the handler cannot process the event, and that another handler should get it. (3) The handler can raise <a href="Equeue.html#EXCEPTIONTerminate"><code class="code">Equeue.Terminate</code></a> which means that the event has been accepted, and that the handler is terminated (it will never be called again). (4) The handler can raise <code class="code">Abort</code> which means that the event is deferred, and that a special abort mechanism is triggered (see the description for <code class="code">Abort</code> above), this is also terminates the handler. The deferred event will again be processed in the future. (5) The handler can raise any other exception. This causes that the event is deferred, and the exception falls through to the caller of <code class="code">run</code>. <p> <b>Groups</b> are used to simplify the association of events to handlers, and to simplify the termination of handlers (see <code class="code">clear</code>). If an event is associated with a group, only handlers associated with the same group will get them. <p> There is a special <b>Close handler</b> which is useful to close file descriptors no longer needed. It is called when all resources are removed from the event system dealing with the file descriptor. The close handler should close the descriptor. Note that close handlers are only useful under certain circumstances. <br> <hr width="100%"> <pre><span class="keyword">method</span> <a name="METHODnew_group"></a>new_group : <code class="type">unit -> <a href="Unixqueue.html#TYPEgroup">group</a></code></pre><pre><span class="keyword">method</span> <a name="METHODnew_wait_id"></a>new_wait_id : <code class="type">unit -> <a href="Unixqueue.html#TYPEwait_id">wait_id</a></code></pre><pre><span class="keyword">method</span> <a name="METHODexists_resource"></a>exists_resource : <code class="type"><a href="Unixqueue.html#TYPEoperation">operation</a> -> bool</code></pre><pre><span class="keyword">method</span> <a name="METHODadd_resource"></a>add_resource : <code class="type"><a href="Unixqueue.html#TYPEgroup">group</a> -> <a href="Unixqueue.html#TYPEoperation">operation</a> * float -> unit</code></pre><pre><span class="keyword">method</span> <a name="METHODadd_close_action"></a>add_close_action : <code class="type"><a href="Unixqueue.html#TYPEgroup">group</a> -> Unix.file_descr * (Unix.file_descr -> unit) -> unit</code></pre><pre><span class="keyword">method</span> <a name="METHODadd_abort_action"></a>add_abort_action : <code class="type"><a href="Unixqueue.html#TYPEgroup">group</a> -> (<a href="Unixqueue.html#TYPEgroup">group</a> -> exn -> unit) -> unit</code></pre><pre><span class="keyword">method</span> <a name="METHODremove_resource"></a>remove_resource : <code class="type"><a href="Unixqueue.html#TYPEgroup">group</a> -> <a href="Unixqueue.html#TYPEoperation">operation</a> -> unit</code></pre><pre><span class="keyword">method</span> <a name="METHODadd_handler"></a>add_handler : <code class="type"><a href="Unixqueue.html#TYPEgroup">group</a> -><br> (<a href="Unixqueue.event_system.html">event_system</a> -><br> <a href="Unixqueue.html#TYPEevent">event</a> <a href="Equeue.html#TYPEt">Equeue.t</a> -> <a href="Unixqueue.html#TYPEevent">event</a> -> unit) -><br> unit</code></pre><pre><span class="keyword">method</span> <a name="METHODadd_event"></a>add_event : <code class="type"><a href="Unixqueue.html#TYPEevent">event</a> -> unit</code></pre><pre><span class="keyword">method</span> <a name="METHODclear"></a>clear : <code class="type"><a href="Unixqueue.html#TYPEgroup">group</a> -> unit</code></pre><pre><span class="keyword">method</span> <a name="METHODrun"></a>run : <code class="type">unit -> unit</code></pre><pre><span class="keyword">method</span> <a name="METHODis_running"></a>is_running : <code class="type">bool</code></pre><pre><span class="keyword">method</span> <a name="METHODonce"></a>once : <code class="type"><a href="Unixqueue.html#TYPEgroup">group</a> -> float -> (unit -> unit) -> unit</code></pre><pre><span class="keyword">method</span> <a name="METHODexn_log"></a>exn_log : <code class="type">?suppressed:bool -><br> ?to_string:(exn -> string) -> ?label:string -> exn -> unit</code></pre><pre><span class="keyword">method</span> <a name="METHODdebug_log"></a>debug_log : <code class="type">?label:string -> string -> unit</code></pre><pre><span class="keyword">method</span> <a name="METHODsetup"></a><span class="keyword">private</span> setup : <code class="type">unit -><br> Unix.file_descr list * Unix.file_descr list * Unix.file_descr list * float</code></pre><pre><span class="keyword">method</span> <a name="METHODqueue_events"></a><span class="keyword">private</span> queue_events : <code class="type">Unix.file_descr list * Unix.file_descr list * Unix.file_descr list -> bool</code></pre><pre><span class="keyword">method</span> <a name="METHODsource"></a><span class="keyword">private</span> source : <code class="type"><a href="Unixqueue.html#TYPEevent">event</a> <a href="Equeue.html#TYPEt">Equeue.t</a> -> unit</code></pre></body></html>
