53	(L<http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev.html>).	59	(L<http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev.html>). While the documentation
		60	below is comprehensive, one might also consult the documentation of
		61	libev itself (L<http://pod.tst.eu/http://cvs.schmorp.de/libev/ev.pod> or
		62	F<perldoc EV::libev>) for more subtle details on watcher semantics or some
		63	discussion on the available backends, or how to force a specific backend
		64	with C<LIBEV_FLAGS>, or just about in any case because it has much more
		65	detailed information.
		66
		67	This module is very fast and scalable. It is actually so fast that you
		68	can use it through the L<AnyEvent> module, stay portable to other event
		69	loops (if you don't rely on any watcher types not available through it)
		70	and still be faster than with any other event loop currently supported in
		71	Perl.

		104
		105	=head1 EVENT LOOPS
		106
		107	EV supports multiple event loops: There is a single "default event loop"
		108	that can handle everything including signals and child watchers, and any
		109	number of "dynamic event loops" that can use different backends (with
		110	various limitations), but no child and signal watchers.
		111
		112	You do not have to do anything to create the default event loop: When
		113	the module is loaded a suitable backend is selected on the premise of
		114	selecting a working backend (which for example rules out kqueue on most
		115	BSDs). Modules should, unless they have "special needs" always use the
		116	default loop as this is fastest (perl-wise), best supported by other
		117	modules (e.g. AnyEvent or Coro) and most portable event loop.
		118
		119	For specific programs you can create additional event loops dynamically.
		120
		121	If you want to take advantage of kqueue (which often works properly for
		122	sockets only) even though the default loop doesn't enable it, you can
		123	I<embed> a kqueue loop into the default loop: running the default loop
		124	will then also service the kqueue loop to some extent. See the example in
		125	the section about embed watchers for an example on how to achieve that.
		126
		127	=over 4
		128
		129	=item $loop = new EV::Loop [$flags]
		130
		131	Create a new event loop as per the specified flags. Please refer to
		132	the C<ev_loop_new ()> function description in the libev documentation
		133	(L<http://pod.tst.eu/http://cvs.schmorp.de/libev/ev.pod#GLOBAL_FUNCTIONS>,
		134	or locally-installed as F<EV::libev> manpage) for more info.
		135
		136	The loop will automatically be destroyed when it is no longer referenced
		137	by any watcher and the loop object goes out of scope.
		138
		139	If you are not embedding the loop, then Using C<EV::FLAG_FORKCHECK>
		140	is recommended, as only the default event loop is protected by this
		141	module. If you I<are> embedding this loop in the default loop, this is not
		142	necessary, as C<EV::embed> automatically does the right thing on fork.
		143
		144	=item $loop->loop_fork
		145
		146	Must be called after a fork in the child, before entering or continuing
		147	the event loop. An alternative is to use C<EV::FLAG_FORKCHECK> which calls
		148	this function automatically, at some performance loss (refer to the libev
		149	documentation).
		150
		151	=item $loop->loop_verify
		152
		153	Calls C<ev_verify> to make internal consistency checks (for debugging
		154	libev) and abort the program if any data structures were found to be
		155	corrupted.
		156
		157	=item $loop = EV::default_loop [$flags]
		158
		159	Return the default loop (which is a singleton object). Since this module
		160	already creates the default loop with default flags, specifying flags here
		161	will not have any effect unless you destroy the default loop first, which
		162	isn't supported. So in short: don't do it, and if you break it, you get to
		163	keep the pieces.

		208	=item $loop->now_update
		209
		210	Establishes the current time by querying the kernel, updating the time
		211	returned by C<EV::now> in the progress. This is a costly operation and
		212	is usually done automatically within C<EV::loop>.
		213
		214	This function is rarely useful, but when some event callback runs for a
		215	very long time without entering the event loop, updating libev's idea of
		216	the current time is a good idea.
		217
		218	=item EV::suspend
		219
		220	=item $loop->suspend
		221
		222	=item EV::resume
		223
		224	=item $loop->resume
		225
		226	These two functions suspend and resume a loop, for use when the loop is
		227	not used for a while and timeouts should not be processed.
		228
		229	A typical use case would be an interactive program such as a game: When
		230	the user presses C<^Z> to suspend the game and resumes it an hour later it
		231	would be best to handle timeouts as if no time had actually passed while
		232	the program was suspended. This can be achieved by calling C<suspend>
		233	in your C<SIGTSTP> handler, sending yourself a C<SIGSTOP> and calling
		234	C<resume> directly afterwards to resume timer processing.
		235
		236	Effectively, all C<timer> watchers will be delayed by the time spend
		237	between C<suspend> and C<resume>, and all C<periodic> watchers
		238	will be rescheduled (that is, they will lose any events that would have
		239	occured while suspended).
		240
		241	After calling C<suspend> you B<must not> call I<any> function on the given
		242	loop other than C<resume>, and you B<must not> call C<resume>
		243	without a previous call to C<suspend>.
		244
		245	Calling C<suspend>/C<resume> has the side effect of updating the event
		246	loop time (see C<now_update>).

		999	=head3 EMBED WATCHERS - when one backend isn't enough...
		1000
		1001	This is a rather advanced watcher type that lets you embed one event loop
		1002	into another (currently only IO events are supported in the embedded
		1003	loop, other types of watchers might be handled in a delayed or incorrect
		1004	fashion and must not be used).
		1005
		1006	See the libev documentation at
		1007	L<http://pod.tst.eu/http://cvs.schmorp.de/libev/ev.pod#code_ev_embed_code_when_one_backend_>
		1008	(locally installed as F<EV::libev>) for more details.
		1009
		1010	In short, this watcher is most useful on BSD systems without working
		1011	kqueue to still be able to handle a large number of sockets:
		1012
		1013	my $socket_loop;
		1014
		1015	# check wether we use SELECT or POLL _and_ KQUEUE is supported
		1016	if (
		1017	(EV::backend & (EV::BACKEND_POLL \| EV::BACKEND_SELECT))
		1018	&& (EV::supported_backends & EV::embeddable_backends & EV::BACKEND_KQUEUE)
		1019	) {
		1020	# use kqueue for sockets
		1021	$socket_loop = new EV::Loop EV::BACKEND_KQUEUE \| EV::FLAG_NOENV;
		1022	}

		1024	# use the default loop otherwise

		1033	=item $w = $loop->embed ($otherloop[, $callback])
		1034
		1035	=item $w = $loop->embed_ns ($otherloop[, $callback])
		1036
		1037	Call the callback when the embedded event loop (C<$otherloop>) has any
		1038	I/O activity. The C<$callback> is optional: if it is missing, then the
		1039	embedded event loop will be managed automatically (which is recommended),
		1040	otherwise you have to invoke C<sweep> yourself.

		1046	=head3 ASYNC WATCHERS - how to wake up another event loop
		1047
		1048	Async watchers are provided by EV, but have little use in perl directly,
		1049	as perl neither supports threads running in parallel nor direct access to
		1050	signal handlers or other contexts where they could be of value.
		1051
		1052	It is, however, possible to use them from the XS level.
		1053

		1069	=head1 PERL SIGNALS
		1070
		1071	While Perl signal handling (C<%SIG>) is not affected by EV, the behaviour
		1072	with EV is as the same as any other C library: Perl-signals will only be
		1073	handled when Perl runs, which means your signal handler might be invoked
		1074	only the next time an event callback is invoked.
		1075
		1076	The solution is to use EV signal watchers (see C<EV::signal>), which will
		1077	ensure proper operations with regards to other event watchers.
		1078
		1079	If you cannot do this for whatever reason, you can also force a watcher
		1080	to be called on every event loop iteration by installing a C<EV::check>
		1081	watcher:
		1082
		1083	my $async_check = EV::check sub { };
		1084
		1085	This ensures that perl gets into control for a short time to handle any
		1086	pending signals, and also ensures (slightly) slower overall operation.
