Multiple event handlers can wait for a certain event 11 * to occur simultaneously. Each event handler is called when an 12 * event occurs that the event handler has indicated that it is 13 * willing to handle. 14 * 15 * There are four types of events that can be handled: 16 * 17 * NETIO_EVENT_READ: reading will not block. 18 * NETIO_EVENT_WRITE: writing will not block. 19 * NETIO_EVENT_TIMEOUT: the timeout expired. 20 * 21 * A file descriptor must be specified if the handler is interested in 22 * the first three event types. A timeout must be specified if the 23 * event handler is interested in timeouts. These event types can be 24 * OR'ed together if the handler is willing to handle multiple types 25 * of events. 26 * 27 * The special event type NETIO_EVENT_NONE is available if you wish to 28 * temporarily disable the event handler without removing and adding 29 * the handler to the netio structure. 30 * 31 * The event callbacks are free to modify the netio_handler_type 32 * structure to change the file descriptor, timeout, event types, user 33 * data, or handler functions. 34 * 35 * The main loop of the program must call netio_dispatch to check for 36 * events and dispatch them to the handlers. An additional timeout 37 * can be specified as well as the signal mask to install while 38 * blocked in pselect(2). 39 */ 40 41 #ifndef NETIO_H 42 #define NETIO_H 43 44 #ifdef HAVE_SYS_SELECT_H 45 #include <sys/select.h> 46 #endif 47 48 #include <signal.h> 49 50 #include "region-allocator.h" 51 52 /* 53 * The type of events a handler is interested in.
