This is 12 * suitable for most UNIX/POSIX systems. When porting to other operating 13 * systems, it may be necessary to replace that implementation with OS specific 14 * mechanisms. 15 */ 16 17#ifndef ELOOP_H 18#define ELOOP_H 19 20/** 21 * ELOOP_ALL_CTX - eloop_cancel_timeout() magic number to match all timeouts 22 */ 23#define ELOOP_ALL_CTX (void *) -1 24 25/** 26 * eloop_event_type - eloop socket event type for eloop_register_sock() 27 * @EVENT_TYPE_READ: Socket has data available for reading 28 * @EVENT_TYPE_WRITE: Socket has room for new data to be written 29 * @EVENT_TYPE_EXCEPTION: An exception has been reported 30 */ 31typedef enum { 32 EVENT_TYPE_READ = 0, 33 EVENT_TYPE_WRITE, 34 EVENT_TYPE_EXCEPTION 35} eloop_event_type; 36 37/** 38 * eloop_sock_handler - eloop socket event callback type 39 * @sock: File descriptor number for the socket 40 * @eloop_ctx: Registered callback context data (eloop_data) 41 * @sock_ctx: Registered callback context data (user_data) 42 */ 43typedef void (*eloop_sock_handler)(int sock, void *eloop_ctx, void *sock_ctx); 44 45/** 46 * eloop_event_handler - eloop generic event callback type 47 * @eloop_ctx: Registered callback context data (eloop_data) 48 * @sock_ctx: Registered callback context data (user_data) 49 */ 50typedef void (*eloop_event_handler)(void *eloop_data, void *user_ctx); 51 52/** 53 * eloop_timeout_handler - eloop timeout event callback type 54 * @eloop_ctx: Registered callback context data (eloop_data) 55 * @sock_ctx: Registered callback context data (user_data) 56 */ 57typedef void (*eloop_timeout_handler)(void *eloop_data, void *user_ctx); 58 59/** 60 * eloop_signal_handler - eloop signal event callback type 61 * @sig: Signal number 62 * @signal_ctx: Registered callback context data (user_data from 63 * eloop_register_signal(), eloop_register_signal_terminate(), or 64 * eloop_register_signal_reconfig() call) 65 */ 66typedef void (*eloop_signal_handler)(int sig, void *signal_ctx); 67 68/** 69 * eloop_init() - Initialize global event loop data 70 * Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure 71 * 72 * This function must be called before any other eloop_* function. 73 */ 74int eloop_init(void); 75 76/** 77 * eloop_register_read_sock - Register handler for read events 78 * @sock: File descriptor number for the socket 79 * @handler: Callback function to be called when data is available for reading 80 * @eloop_data: Callback context data (eloop_ctx) 81 * @user_data: Callback context data (sock_ctx) 82 * Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure 83 * 84 * Register a read socket notifier for the given file descriptor.
