METHODS

This package implements the following methods:

defer

defer(HashRef $data) : Object

The defer method allows a process to sends a message to itself for later processing.

defer example #1

# given: synopsis

$process->defer({ task => { launch => time } });

destroy

destroy() : Object

The destroy method de-registers the process and drops the process-specific data stores.

destroy example #1

# given: synopsis

$process->destroy;

execute

execute() : Object

The execute method executes the process event-loop indefinitely.

execute example #1

# given: synopsis

$process->execute;

exercise

exercise() : Object

The exercise method executes the event-loop but stops after one iteration.

exercise example #1

# given: synopsis

$process->exercise;

metadata

metadata() : HashRef

The metadata method returns metadata specific to the process.

metadata example #1

# given: synopsis

$process->metadata;

shutdown

shutdown() : Object

The shutdown method haults the process event-loop immediately.

shutdown example #1

# given: synopsis

$process->shutdown;

spawn

spawn(Scheme $scheme) : Fork

The spawn method forks a scheme and returns a Zing::Fork handler.

spawn example #1

# given: synopsis

$process->spawn(['MyApp', [], 1]);

winddown

winddown() : Object

The winddown method haults the process event-loop after the current iteration.

winddown example #1

# given: synopsis
