		128
		129	=head2 WATCHER
		130
		131	A watcher is an object that gets created to record your interest in some
		132	event. For instance, if you want to wait for STDIN to become readable, you
		133	would create an EV::io watcher for that:
		134
		135	my $watcher = EV::io *STDIN, EV::READ, sub {
		136	my ($watcher, $revents) = @_;
		137	warn "yeah, STDIN should not be readable without blocking!\n"
		138	};
		139
		140	All watchers can be active (waiting for events) or inactive (paused). Only
		141	active watchers will have their callbacks invoked. All callbacks will be
		142	called with at least two arguments: the watcher and a bitmask of received
		143	events.
		144
		145	Each watcher type has its associated bit in revents, so you can use the
		146	same callback for multiple watchers. The event mask is named after the
		147	type, i..e. EV::child sets EV::CHILD, EV::prepare sets EV::PREPARE,
		148	EV::periodic sets EV::PERIODIC and so on, with the exception of IO events
		149	(which can set both EV::READ and EV::WRITE bits), and EV::timer (which
		150	uses EV::TIMEOUT).
		151
		152	In the rare case where one wants to create a watcher but not start it at
		153	the same time, each constructor has a variant with a trailing C<_ns> in
		154	its name, e.g. EV::io has a non-starting variant EV::io_ns and so on.
		155
		156	Please note that a watcher will automatically be stopped when the watcher
		157	object is destroyed, so you I<need> to keep the watcher objects returned by
		158	the constructors.
		159
		160	Also, all methods changing some aspect of a watcher (->set, ->priority,
		161	->fh and so on) automatically stop and start it again if it is active,
		162	which means pending events get lost.
		163
		164	=head2 WATCHER TYPES
		165
		166	Now lets move to the existing watcher types and asociated methods.
		167
		168	The following methods are available for all watchers. Then followes a
		169	description of each watcher constructor (EV::io, EV::timer, EV::periodic,
		170	EV::signal, EV::child, EV::idle, EV::prepare and EV::check), followed by
		171	any type-specific methods (if any).
		172
		173	=over 4
		174
		175	=item $w->start
		176
		177	Starts a watcher if it isn't active already. Does nothing to an already
		178	active watcher. By default, all watchers start out in the active state
		179	(see the description of the C<_ns> variants if you need stopped watchers).
		180
		181	=item $w->stop
		182
		183	Stop a watcher if it is active. Also clear any pending events (events that
		184	have been received but that didn't yet result in a callback invocation),
		185	regardless of wether the watcher was active or not.
		186
		187	=item $bool = $w->is_active
		188
		189	Returns true if the watcher is active, false otherwise.
		190
		191	=item $current_data = $w->data
		192
		193	=item $old_data = $w->data ($new_data)
		194
		195	Queries a freely usable data scalar on the watcher and optionally changes
		196	it. This is a way to associate custom data with a watcher:
		197
		198	my $w = EV::timer 60, 0, sub {
		199	warn $_[0]->data;
		200	};
		201	$w->data ("print me!");
		202
		203	=item $current_cb = $w->cb
		204
		205	=item $old_cb = $w->cb ($new_cb)
		206
		207	Queries the callback on the watcher and optionally changes it. You can do
		208	this at any time without the watcher restarting.
		209
		210	=item $current_priority = $w->priority
		211
		212	=item $old_priority = $w->priority ($new_priority)
		213
		214	Queries the priority on the watcher and optionally changes it. Pending
		215	watchers with higher priority will be invoked first. The valid range of
		216	priorities lies between EV::MAXPRI (default 2) and EV::MINPRI (default
		217	-2). If the priority is outside this range it will automatically be
		218	normalised to the nearest valid priority.
		219
		220	The default priority of any newly-created weatcher is 0.

115	this timeout will not be reset when you get an I/O event in the EV::PERSIST
116	case, and reaching a timeout will always stop the watcher even in the
117	EV::PERSIST case.
118
119	If you want a timeout to occur only after a specific time of inactivity, set

137	time the callback takes.
138		266
		267	This means that the callback would be called roughly after C<$after>
		268	seconds, and then every C<$repeat> seconds. "Roughly" because the time of
		269	callback processing is not taken into account, so the timer will slowly
		270	drift. If that isn't acceptable, look at EV::periodic.
		271
		272	The timer is based on a monotonic clock, that is if somebody is sitting
		273	in front of the machine while the timer is running and changes the system
		274	clock, the timer will nevertheless run (roughly) the same time.

148	If the C<$interval> is zero, then the callback will be called at the time	285	Similar to the C<start> method, but has special semantics for repeating timers:
149	C<$at> if that is in the future, or as soon as possible if its in the
150	past. It will not automatically repeat.
151		286

155	This can be used to schedule a callback to run at very regular intervals,	290	If the timer is active and non-repeating, it will be stopped.
156	as long as the processing time is less then the interval (otherwise	291
157	obviously events will be skipped).	292	If the timer is in active and repeating, start it.
		293
		294	Otherwise do nothing.
		295
		296	This behaviour is useful when you have a timeout for some IO
		297	operation. You create a timer object with the same value for C<$after> and
		298	C<$repeat>, and then, in the read/write watcher, run the C<again> method
		299	on the timeout.

		303
		304	=item $w = EV::periodic_ns $at, $interval, $reschedule_cb, $callback
		305
		306	Similar to EV::timer, but is not based on relative timeouts but on
		307	absolute times. Apart from creating "simple" timers that trigger "at" the
		308	specified time, it can also be used for non-drifting absolute timers and
		309	more complex, cron-like, setups that are not adversely affected by time
		310	jumps (i.e. when the system clock is changed by explicit date -s or other
		311	means such as ntpd). It is also the most complex watcher type in EV.
		312
		313	It has three distinct "modes":
		314
		315	=over 4
		316
		317	=item * absolute timer ($interval = $reschedule_cb = 0)
		318
		319	This time simply fires at the wallclock time C<$at> and doesn't repeat. It
		320	will not adjust when a time jump occurs, that is, if it is to be run
		321	at January 1st 2011 then it will run when the system time reaches or
		322	surpasses this time.
		323
		324	=item * non-repeating interval timer ($interval > 0, $reschedule_cb = 0)
		325
		326	In this mode the watcher will always be scheduled to time out at the
		327	next C<$at + N * $interval> time (for some integer N) and then repeat,
		328	regardless of any time jumps.
		329
		330	This can be used to create timers that do not drift with respect to system
		331	time:
		332
		333	my $hourly = EV::periodic 0, 3600, 0, sub { print "once/hour\n" };
		334
		335	That doesn't mean there will always be 3600 seconds in between triggers,
		336	but only that the the clalback will be called when the system time shows a
		337	full hour (UTC).
158		338

164		345
165	=item my $w = EV::signal $signum, $callback	346	In this mode $interval and $at are both being ignored. Instead, each time
		347	the periodic watcher gets scheduled, the first callback ($reschedule_cb)
		348	will be called with the watcher as first, and the current time as second
		349	argument.
166		350
167	=item my $w = EV::signal_ns $signum, $callback	351	I<This callback MUST NOT stop or destroy the event watcher, ever.>
168		352
169	Call the callback when signal $signum is received.	353	It must return the next time to trigger, based on the passed time value
		354	(that is, the lowest time value larger than to the second argument). It
		355	will usually be called just before the callback will be triggered, but
		356	might be called at other times, too.
170		357
171	The C<signal_ns> variant doesn't add/start the newly created watcher.	358	This can be used to create very complex timers, such as a timer that
		359	triggers on each midnight, local time (actually 24 hours after the last
		360	midnight, to keep the example simple. If you know a way to do it correctly

		393	by number or by name, just as with kill or %SIG).
		394
		395	EV will grab the signal for the process (the kernel only allows one
		396	component to receive a signal at a time) when you start a signal watcher,
		397	and removes it again when you stop it. Perl does the same when you
		398	add/remove callbacks to %SIG, so watch out.
		399
		400	You can have as many signal watchers per signal as you want.
		401
		402	The C<signal_ns> variant doesn't start (activate) the newly created watcher.
		403
		404	=item $w->set ($signal)
		405
		406	Reconfigures the watcher, see the constructor above for details. Can be at
		407	any time.
		408
		409	=item $current_signum = $w->signal
		410
		411	=item $old_signum = $w->signal ($new_signal)
		412
		413	Returns the previously set signal (always as a number not name) and
		414	optionally set a new one.
		415
		416
		417	=item $w = EV::child $pid, $callback
		418
		419	=item $w = EV::child_ns $pid, $callback
		420
		421	Call the callback when a status change for pid C<$pid> (or any pid
		422	if C<$pid> is 0) has been received. More precisely: when the process
		423	receives a SIGCHLD, EV will fetch the outstanding exit/wait status for all
		424	changed/zombie children and call the callback.
		425
		426	You can access both status and pid by using the C<rstatus> and C<rpid>
		427	methods on the watcher object.
		428
		429	You can have as many pid watchers per pid as you want.
		430
		431	The C<child_ns> variant doesn't start (activate) the newly created watcher.
		432
193	=item $w->stop	433	=item $w->set ($pid)
194		434
195	Stop the event watcher if it was started.	435	Reconfigures the watcher, see the constructor above for details. Can be at
		436	any time.
196		437
197	=item $current_callback = $w->cb
198
199	=item $old_callback = $w->cb ($new_callback)
200
201	Return the previously set callback and optionally set a new one.
202
203	=item $current_fh = $w->fh	438	=item $current_pid = $w->pid
204		439
205	=item $old_fh = $w->fh ($new_fh)	440	=item $old_pid = $w->pid ($new_pid)
206		441
207	Returns the previously set filehandle and optionally set a new one.
208
209	=item $current_eventmask = $w->events
210
211	=item $old_eventmask = $w->events ($new_eventmask)
212
213	Returns the previously set event mask and optionally set a new one.	442	Returns the previously set process id and optionally set a new one.
214		443
215	=item $w->timeout ($after, $repeat)	444	=item $exit_status = $w->rstatus
216		445
217	Resets the timeout (see C<EV::timer> for details).	446	Return the exit/wait status (as returned by waitpid, see the waitpid entry
		447	in perlfunc).
218		448
219	=item $w->timeout_abs ($at, $interval)	449	=item $pid = $w->rpid
220		450
221	Resets the timeout (see C<EV::timer_abs> for details).	451	Return the pid of the awaited child (useful when you have installed a
		452	watcher for all pids).
222		453
223	=item $w->priority_set ($priority)
224		454
225	Set the priority of the watcher to C<$priority> (0 <= $priority < $EV::NPRI).	455	=item $w = EV::idle $callback
		456
		457	=item $w = EV::idle_ns $callback
		458
		459	Call the callback when there are no pending io, timer/periodic, signal or
		460	child events, i.e. when the process is idle.
		461
		462	The process will not block as long as any idle watchers are active, and
		463	they will be called repeatedly until stopped.
		464
		465	The C<idle_ns> variant doesn't start (activate) the newly created watcher.
		466
		467
		468	=item $w = EV::prepare $callback
		469
		470	=item $w = EV::prepare_ns $callback
		471
		472	Call the callback just before the process would block. You can still
		473	create/modify any watchers at this point.
		474
		475	See the EV::check watcher, below, for explanations and an example.
		476
		477	The C<prepare_ns> variant doesn't start (activate) the newly created watcher.
		478
		479
		480	=item $w = EV::check $callback
		481
		482	=item $w = EV::check_ns $callback
		483
		484	Call the callback just after the process wakes up again (after it has
		485	gathered events), but before any other callbacks have been invoked.
		486
		487	This is used to integrate other event-based software into the EV
		488	mainloop: You register a prepare callback and in there, you create io and
		489	timer watchers as required by the other software. Here is a real-world
		490	example of integrating Net::SNMP (with some details left out):
		491
		492	our @snmp_watcher;
		493
		494	our $snmp_prepare = EV::prepare sub {
		495	# do nothing unless active
		496	$dispatcher->{_event_queue_h}
		497	or return;
		498
		499	# make the dispatcher handle any outstanding stuff
		500
		501	# create an IO watcher for each and every socket
		502	@snmp_watcher = (
		503	(map { EV::io $_, EV::READ, sub { } }
		504	keys %{ $dispatcher->{_descriptors} }),
		505	);
		506
		507	# if there are any timeouts, also create a timer
		508	push @snmp_watcher, EV::timer $event->[Net::SNMP::Dispatcher::_TIME] - EV::now, 0, sub { }
		509	if $event->[Net::SNMP::Dispatcher::_ACTIVE];
		510	};
		511
		512	The callbacks are irrelevant, the only purpose of those watchers is
		513	to wake up the process as soon as one of those events occurs (socket
		514	readable, or timer timed out). The corresponding EV::check watcher will then
		515	clean up:
		516
		517	our $snmp_check = EV::check sub {
		518	# destroy all watchers
		519	@snmp_watcher = ();
		520
		521	# make the dispatcher handle any new stuff
		522	};
		523
		524	The callbacks of the created watchers will not be called as the watchers
		525	are destroyed before this cna happen (remember EV::check gets called
		526	first).
		527
		528	The C<check_ns> variant doesn't start (activate) the newly created watcher.
