303 | absolute times. Apart from creating "simple" timers that trigger "at" the |
|
|
304 | specified time, it can also be used for non-drifting absolute timers and |
|
|
305 | more complex, cron-like, setups that are not adversely affected by time |
|
|
306 | jumps (i.e. when the system clock is changed by explicit date -s or other |
|
|
307 | means such as ntpd). It is also the most complex watcher type in EV. |
278 | |
308 | |
279 | If the C<$interval> is zero, then the callback will be called at the time |
309 | It has three distinct "modes": |
280 | C<$at> if that is in the future, or as soon as possible if it is in the |
|
|
281 | past. It will not automatically repeat. |
|
|
282 | |
310 | |
283 | If the C<$interval> is nonzero, then the watcher will always be scheduled |
311 | =over 4 |
284 | to time out at the next C<$at + N * $interval> time. |
|
|
285 | |
312 | |
286 | This can be used to schedule a callback to run at very regular intervals, |
313 | =item * absolute timer ($interval = $reschedule_cb = 0) |
287 | as long as the processing time is less then the interval (otherwise |
314 | |
288 | obviously events will be skipped). |
315 | This time simply fires at the wallclock time C<$at> and doesn't repeat. It |
|
|
316 | will not adjust when a time jump occurs, that is, if it is to be run |
|
|
317 | at January 1st 2011 then it will run when the system time reaches or |
|
|
318 | surpasses this time. |
|

|
|
320 | =item * non-repeating interval timer ($interval > 0, $reschedule_cb = 0) |
|
|
321 | |
|
|
322 | In this mode the watcher will always be scheduled to time out at the |
|
|
323 | next C<$at + N * $interval> time (for some integer N) and then repeat, |
|
|
324 | regardless of any time jumps. |
|
|
325 | |
|
|
326 | This can be used to create timers that do not drift with respect to system |
|
|
327 | time: |
|
|
328 | |
|
|
329 | my $hourly = EV::periodic 0, 3600, 0, sub { print "once/hour\n" }; |
|
|
330 | |
|
|
331 | That doesn't mean there will always be 3600 seconds in between triggers, |
|
|
332 | but only that the the clalback will be called when the system time shows a |
|
|
333 | full hour (UTC). |
289 | |
334 | |
290 | Another way to think about it (for the mathematically inclined) is that |
335 | Another way to think about it (for the mathematically inclined) is that |
291 | EV::periodic will try to run the callback at the next possible time where |

337 | possible time where C<$time = $at (mod $interval)>, regardless of any time |
|
|
338 | jumps. |
293 | |
339 | |
294 | This periodic timer is based on "wallclock time", that is, if the clock |
340 | =item * manual reschedule mode ($reschedule_cb = coderef) |
295 | changes (C<ntp>, C<date -s> etc.), then the timer will nevertheless run at |
341 | |
296 | the specified time. This means it will never drift (it might jitter, but |
342 | In this mode $interval and $at are both being ignored. Instead, each |
297 | it will not drift). |
343 | time the periodic watcher gets scheduled, the reschedule callback |
|
|
344 | ($reschedule_cb) will be called with the watcher as first, and the current |
|
|
345 | time as second argument. |
|
|
346 | |
|
|
347 | I<This callback MUST NOT stop or destroy this or any other periodic |
|
|
348 | watcher, ever>. If you need to stop it, return 1e30 and stop it |
|
|
349 | afterwards. |
|
|
350 | |
|
|
351 | It must return the next time to trigger, based on the passed time value |
|
|
352 | (that is, the lowest time value larger than to the second argument). It |
|
|
353 | will usually be called just before the callback will be triggered, but |
|
|
354 | might be called at other times, too. |
|
|
355 | |

|
|
540 | Most of the "improved" event delivering mechanisms of modern operating |
|
|
541 | systems have quite a few problems with fork(2) (to put it bluntly: it is |
|
|
542 | not supported and usually destructive). Libev makes it possible to work |
|
|
543 | around this by having a function that recreates the kernel state after |
|
|
544 | fork in the child. |
|
|
545 | |
|
|
546 | On non-win32 platforms, this module requires the pthread_atfork |
|
|
547 | functionality to do this automatically for you. This function is quite |
|
|
548 | buggy on most BSDs, though, so YMMV. The overhead for this is quite |
|
|
549 | negligible, because everything the function currently does is set a flag |
|
|
550 | that is checked only when the event loop gets used the next time, so when |
|
|
551 | you do fork but not use EV, the overhead is minimal. |
|
|
552 | |
|
|
553 | On win32, there is no notion of fork so all this doesn't apply, of course. |
