126
127Due to some quirks in how perl exports variables, it is impossible to
128just export C<$SELF>, all the symbols called C<SELF> are exported by this

122 152
153=item kil $portid[, @reason]
154
155Kill the specified port with the given C<@reason>.
156
157If no C<@reason> is specified, then the port is killed "normally" (linked
158ports will not be kileld, or even notified).
159
160Otherwise, linked ports get killed with the same reason (second form of
161C<mon>, see below).
162
163Runtime errors while evaluating C<rcv> callbacks or inside C<psub> blocks
164will be reported as reason C<< die => $@ >>.
165
166Transport/communication errors are reported as C<< transport_error =>
167$message >>.

126destroyed or connection to it's node is lost.
127 172
128#TODO 173=item $guard = mon $portid, $otherport, @msg
174
175Monitor the given port and do something when the port is killed.
176
177In the first form, the callback is simply called with any number
178of C<@reason> elements (no @reason means that the port was deleted
179"normally"). Note also that I<< the callback B<must> never die >>, so use
180C<eval> if unsure.
181
182In the second form, the other port will be C<kil>'ed with C<@reason>, iff
183a @reason was specified, i.e. on "normal" kils nothing happens, while
184under all other conditions, the other port is killed with the same reason.
185
186In the last form, a message of the form C<@msg, @reason> will be C<snd>.
187
188Example: call a given callback when C<$port> is killed.
189
190 mon $port, sub { warn "port died because of <@_>\n" };
191
192Example: kill ourselves when C<$port> is killed abnormally.

226=item $guard = mon_guard $port, $ref, $ref...
227
228Monitors the given C<$port> and keeps the passed references. When the port
229is killed, the references will be freed.
230
231Optionally returns a guard that will stop the monitoring.
232
233This function is useful when you create e.g. timers or other watchers and
234want to free them when the port gets killed:
235
236 $port->rcv (start => sub {
237 my $timer; $timer = mon_guard $port, AE::timer 1, 1, sub {
238 undef $timer if 0.9 < rand;

249
250=item lnk $port1, $port2
251
252Link two ports. This is simply a shorthand for:
253
254 mon $port1, $port2;
255 mon $port2, $port1;
256
257It means that if either one is killed abnormally, the other one gets
258killed as well.
