Functions
void fixio_register_functions(Heap *heap);
-
Registers I/O functions to given heap.
Integration with foreign event loop
typedef void (*IOEventNotifyFunc)(void *data);
-
Notification function type.
void fixio_integrate_event_loop(Heap *heap, IOEventNotifyFunc notify_func, void *notify_data);
-
Integrates the event loop with an external event loop. This is achieved by waiting on the I/O
in another thread. The given callback function is called whenever there is something to process.
The callback should pass this information to the foreign loop and once processed the event handler
must call the
fixio_process_events
function to process the I/O events in the main
thread.
Note: Only one event loop can be integrated in particular heap and the integration is currently permanent.
void fixio_process_events(Heap *heap);
-
Processes the I/O events initiated by the callback passed to
fixio_integrate_event_loop
.
This function must not be called at any other time.
