124 151
125Create a new local port object. See the next section for allowed methods. 152Kill the specified port with the given C<@reason>.
126 153
127=cut 154If no C<@reason> is specified, then the port is killed "normally" (linked
155ports will not be kileld, or even notified).

169
170=item $guard = mon $portid, $otherport, @msg
171
172Monitor the given port and do something when the port is killed.
173
174In the first form, the callback is simply called with any number
175of C<@reason> elements (no @reason means that the port was deleted
176"normally"). Note also that I<< the callback B<must> never die >>, so use
177C<eval> if unsure.
178
179In the second form, the other port will be C<kil>'ed with C<@reason>, iff
180a @reason was specified, i.e. on "normal" kils nothing happens, while
181under all other conditions, the other port is killed with the same reason.
182
183In the last form, a message of the form C<@msg, @reason> will be C<snd>.
184
185Example: call a given callback when C<$port> is killed.
186
187 mon $port, sub { warn "port died because of <@_>\n" };
188
189Example: kill ourselves when C<$port> is killed abnormally.

225Monitors the given C<$port> and keeps the passed references. When the port
226is killed, the references will be freed.
227
228Optionally returns a guard that will stop the monitoring.
229
230This function is useful when you create e.g. timers or other watchers and
231want to free them when the port gets killed:
232
233 $port->rcv (start => sub {
234 my $timer; $timer = mon_guard $port, AE::timer 1, 1, sub {
235 undef $timer if 0.9 < rand;

248
249Create a new local port object that supports message matching.
250
251=item $portid = port { my @msg = @_; $finished }
252
253Creates a "mini port", that is, a very lightweight port without any
254pattern matching behind it, and returns its ID.
255
256The block will be called for every message received on the port. When the
257callback returns a true value its job is considered "done" and the port
258will be destroyed. Otherwise it will stay alive.
259
260The message will be passed as-is, no extra argument (i.e. no port id) will
261be passed to the callback.
262
263If you need the local port id in the callback, this works nicely:
264
265 my $port; $port = miniport {
266 snd $otherport, reply => $port;
156 }; 267 };
