Detailed Description

Defines an abstracted event polling API.

This may be used to connect Avahi to other main loops. This is loosely based on Unix poll(2). A consumer will call watch_new() for all file descriptors it wants to listen for events on. In addition he can call timeout_new() to define time based events .

Examples:
glib-integration.c.

Definition at line 60 of file watch.h.

Field Documentation

void(* AvahiPoll::timeout_free) (AvahiTimeout *t)

Free a timeout.

It is safe to call this function from an AvahiTimeoutCallback

Definition at line 91 of file watch.h.

AvahiTimeout*(* AvahiPoll::timeout_new) (const AvahiPoll *api, const struct timeval *tv, AvahiTimeoutCallback callback, void *userdata)

Set a wakeup time for the polling loop.

The API will call the callback function when the absolute time *tv is reached. If tv is NULL, the timeout is disabled. After the timeout expired the callback function will be called and the timeout is disabled. You can reenable it by calling timeout_update()

Examples:
client-publish-service.c, and glib-integration.c.

Definition at line 84 of file watch.h.

void(* AvahiPoll::timeout_update) (AvahiTimeout *, const struct timeval *tv)

Update the absolute expiration time for a timeout, If tv is NULL, the timeout is disabled.

It is safe to call this function from an AvahiTimeoutCallback

Definition at line 88 of file watch.h.

void* AvahiPoll::userdata

Some abstract user data usable by the provider of the API.

Definition at line 63 of file watch.h.

void(* AvahiPoll::watch_free) (AvahiWatch *w)

Free a watch.

It is safe to call this function from an AvahiWatchCallback

Definition at line 77 of file watch.h.

AvahiWatchEvent(* AvahiPoll::watch_get_events) (AvahiWatch *w)

Return the events that happened.

It is safe to call this function from an AvahiWatchCallback

Definition at line 74 of file watch.h.

AvahiWatch*(* AvahiPoll::watch_new) (const AvahiPoll *api, int fd, AvahiWatchEvent event, AvahiWatchCallback callback, void *userdata)

Create a new watch for the specified file descriptor and for the specified events.

The API will call the callback function whenever any of the events happens.

Definition at line 68 of file watch.h.

void(* AvahiPoll::watch_update) (AvahiWatch *w, AvahiWatchEvent event)

Update the events to wait for.

It is safe to call this function from an AvahiWatchCallback

Definition at line 71 of file watch.h.
