 This function is rarely useful, but when some event callback runs for a
 very long time without entering the event loop, updating libev's idea of
 the current time is a good idea.

 When an error occurs or either the timeout or I/O watcher triggers, then
 the callback will be called with the received event set (in general
 you can expect it to be a combination of C<EV::ERROR>, C<EV::READ>,
 C<EV::WRITE> and C<EV::TIMER>).
 =item EV::feed_signal $signal
 Feed a signal event into EV - unlike C<EV::feed_signal_event>, this works

 The initial value for keepalive is true (enabled), and you can change it

 value.
