Then, when it runs out of immediate * tasks, it calls each subordinate module's "wait" function, which in turn * calls one (or more) of the functions poll_fd_wait(), poll_immediate_wake(), * and poll_timer_wait() to register to be awakened when the appropriate event * occurs. Then the main loop calls poll_block(), which blocks until one of * the registered events happens. * * There is also some support for autonomous subroutines that are executed by * poll_block() when a file descriptor becomes ready. To prevent these * routines from starving if events are continuously ready, the application * should bound the amount of work it does between poll_block() calls. */ #ifndef POLL_LOOP_H #define POLL_LOOP_H 1 #include struct poll_waiter; /* Schedule events to wake up the following poll_block(). */ struct poll_waiter *poll_fd_wait(int fd, short int events); void poll_timer_wait(int msec); void poll_immediate_wake(void); /* Wait until an event occurs. */ void poll_block(void); /* Autonomous function callbacks. */ typedef void poll_fd_func(int fd, short int revents, void *aux); struct poll_waiter *poll_fd_callback(int fd, short int events, poll_fd_func *, void *aux); /* Cancel a file descriptor callback or event. */ void poll_cancel(struct poll_waiter *); #endif /* poll-loop.h */
