Sys::Virt::Event - An event loop contract
The "Sys::Virt::Event" module represents the
contract for integrating libvirt with an event loop. This package is abstract
and intended to be subclassed to provide an actual implementation.
- register_default()
- Register the default libvirt event loop implementation
- run_default()
- Run a single iteration of the default event loop implementation
- register($impl)
- Register an event loop implementation. The implementation should be a
instance of a sub-class of the
"Sys::Virt::Event" package.
- $self->_run_handle_callback($watch, $fd, $events, $cb, $opaque)
- A helper method for executing a callback in response to one of more
$events on the file handle
$fd. The $watch number is
the unique idenifier associated with the file descriptor. The
$cb and $opaque parameters
are the callback and data registered for the handle.
- $self->_run_timeout_callback($timer, $cb, $opaque)
- A helper method for executing a callback in response to the expiry of a
timeout identified by $timer. The
$cb and $opaque parameters
are the callback and data registered for the timeout.
- $self->_free_callback_opaque($ff, $opaque)
- A helper method for freeing the data associated with a callback. The
$ff and $opaque parameters
are the callback and data registered for the handle/timeout.
- my $watch = Sys::Virt::Event::add_handle($fd, $events, $coderef)
- Adds a watch on the file descriptor $fd for the
events $events which is a mask of the FILE HANDLE
EVENTS constants listed later. The $coderef
parameter is a subroutine to invoke when an event is triggered. The
subroutine will be passed three parameters, the watch identifier, the file
descriptor and the event mask. This method returns the watch identifier
which can be used to update or remove the watch
- Sys::Virt::Event::update_handle($watch, $events)
- Update the event mask for the file descriptor watch
$watch to use the events
$events.
- Sys::Virt::Event::remove_handle($watch)
- Remove the event mask for the file descriptor watch
$watch.
- my $watch = Sys::Virt::Event::add_timeout($frequency, $coderef)
- Adds a timeout to trigger with $frequency
milliseconds interval. The $coderef parameter is a
subroutine to invoke when an event is triggered. The subroutine will be
passed one parameter, the timer identifier. This method returns the watch
identifier which can be used to update or remove the watch
- Sys::Virt::Event::update_timeout($timer, $frequency)
- Update the timeout $timer to have the frequency
$frequency milliseconds.
- Sys::Virt::Event::remove_timeout($timer)
- Remove the timeout $timer
When integrating with an event loop the following constants define the file
descriptor events
- Sys::Virt::Event::HANDLE_READABLE
- The file descriptor has data available for read without blocking
- Sys::Virt::Event::HANDLE_WRITABLE
- The file descriptor has ability to write data without blocking
- Sys::Virt::Event::HANDLE_ERROR
- An error occurred on the file descriptor
- Sys::Virt::Event::HANDLE_HANGUP
- The remote end of the file descriptor closed
