NAME

Mojo::Reactor::Epoll - epoll backend for Mojo::Reactor

SYNOPSIS

use Mojo::Reactor::Epoll;

# Watch if handle becomes readable or writable
my $reactor = Mojo::Reactor::Epoll->new;
$reactor->io($first => sub {
  my ($reactor, $writable) = @_;
  say $writable ? 'First handle is writable' : 'First handle is readable';
});

# Change to watching only if handle becomes writable
$reactor->watch($first, 0, 1);

# Turn file descriptor into handle and watch if it becomes readable
my $second = IO::Handle->new_from_fd($fd, 'r');
$reactor->io($second => sub {
  my ($reactor, $writable) = @_;
  say $writable ? 'Second handle is writable' : 'Second handle is readable';
})->watch($second, 1, 0);

# Add a timer
$reactor->timer(15 => sub {
  my $reactor = shift;
  $reactor->remove($first);
  $reactor->remove($second);
  say 'Timeout!';
});

# Start reactor if necessary
$reactor->start unless $reactor->is_running;

# Or in an application using Mojo::IOLoop
use Mojo::Reactor::Epoll;
use Mojo::IOLoop;

# Or in a Mojolicious application
$ MOJO_REACTOR=Mojo::Reactor::Epoll hypnotoad script/myapp

DESCRIPTION

Mojo::Reactor::Epoll is an event reactor for Mojo::IOLoop that uses the epoll(7) Linux subsystem. The usage is exactly the same as other Mojo::Reactor implementations such as Mojo::Reactor::Poll. Mojo::Reactor::Epoll will be used as the default backend for Mojo::IOLoop if it is loaded before Mojo::IOLoop or any module using the loop. However, when invoking a Mojolicious application through morbo or hypnotoad, the reactor must be set as the default by setting the MOJO_REACTOR environment variable to Mojo::Reactor::Epoll.

EVENTS

Mojo::Reactor::Epoll inherits all events from Mojo::Reactor.

METHODS

Mojo::Reactor::Epoll inherits all methods from Mojo::Reactor and implements the following new ones.

again

$reactor->again($id);

Restart timer. Note that this method requires an active timer.

io

$reactor = $reactor->io($handle => sub {...});

Watch handle for I/O events, invoking the callback whenever handle becomes readable or writable.

# Callback will be invoked twice if handle becomes readable and writable
$reactor->io($handle => sub {
  my ($reactor, $writable) = @_;
  say $writable ? 'Handle is writable' : 'Handle is readable';
});

is_running

my $bool = $reactor->is_running;

Check if reactor is running.

next_tick

my $undef = $reactor->next_tick(sub {...});

Invoke callback as soon as possible, but not before returning or other callbacks that have been registered with this method, always returns undef.

one_tick

$reactor->one_tick;

Run reactor until an event occurs or no events are being watched anymore. Note that this method can recurse back into the reactor, so you need to be careful.

# Don't block longer than 0.5 seconds
my $id = $reactor->timer(0.5 => sub {});
$reactor->one_tick;
$reactor->remove($id);

recurring

my $id = $reactor->recurring(0.25 => sub {...});

Create a new recurring timer, invoking the callback repeatedly after a given amount of time in seconds.

remove

my $bool = $reactor->remove($handle);
my $bool = $reactor->remove($id);

Remove handle or timer.

reset

$reactor->reset;

Remove all handles and timers.

start

$reactor->start;

Start watching for I/O and timer events, this will block until "stop" is called or no events are being watched anymore.

# Start reactor only if it is not running already
$reactor->start unless $reactor->is_running;

stop

$reactor->stop;

Stop watching for I/O and timer events.

timer

my $id = $reactor->timer(0.5 => sub {...});

Create a new timer, invoking the callback after a given amount of time in seconds.

watch

$reactor = $reactor->watch($handle, $readable, $writable);

Change I/O events to watch handle for with true and false values. Note that this method requires an active I/O watcher.

# Watch only for readable events
$reactor->watch($handle, 1, 0);

# Watch only for writable events
$reactor->watch($handle, 0, 1);

# Watch for readable and writable events
$reactor->watch($handle, 1, 1);

# Pause watching for events
$reactor->watch($handle, 0, 0);
