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

		100	=head1 EVENT LOOPS
		101
		102	EV supports multiple event loops: There is a single "default event loop"
		103	that can handle everything including signals and child watchers, and any
		104	number of "dynamic event loops" that can use different backends (with
		105	various limitations), but no child and signal watchers.
		106
		107	You do not have to do anything to create the default event loop: When
		108	the module is loaded a suitable backend is selected on the premise of
		109	selecting a working backend (which for example rules out kqueue on most
		110	BSDs). Modules should, unless they have "special needs" always use the
		111	default loop as this is fastest (perl-wise), best supported by other
		112	modules (e.g. AnyEvent or Coro) and most portable event loop.
		113
		114	For specific programs you can create additional event loops dynamically.
		115
		116	=over 4
		117
		118	=item $loop = new EV::loop [$flags]
		119
		120	Create a new event loop as per the specified flags. Please refer to the
		121	C<ev_loop_new ()> function description in the libev documentation
		122	(L<http://pod.tst.eu/http://cvs.schmorp.de/libev/ev.pod#GLOBAL_FUNCTIONS>)
		123	for more info.
		124
		125	The loop will automatically be destroyed when it is no longer referenced
		126	by any watcher and the loop object goes out of scope.
		127
		128	Using C<EV::FLAG_FORKCHECK> is recommended, as only the default event loop
		129	is protected by this module.
		130
		131	=item $loop->loop_fork
		132
		133	Must be called after a fork in the child, before entering or continuing
		134	the event loop. An alternative is to use C<EV::FLAG_FORKCHECK> which calls
		135	this fucntion automatically, at some performance loss (refer to the libev
		136	documentation).

		240

		375
		376	If the watcher is pending, this function clears its pending status and

		380	=item $previous_state = $w->keepalive ($bool)
		381
		382	Normally, C<EV::loop> will return when there are no active watchers
		383	(which is a "deadlock" because no progress can be made anymore). This is
		384	convinient because it allows you to start your watchers (and your jobs),
		385	call C<EV::loop> once and when it returns you know that all your jobs are
		386	finished (or they forgot to register some watchers for their task :).
		387
		388	Sometimes, however, this gets in your way, for example when the module
		389	that calls C<EV::loop> (usually the main program) is not the same module
		390	as a long-living watcher (for example a DNS client module written by
		391	somebody else even). Then you might want any outstanding requests to be
		392	handled, but you would not want to keep C<EV::loop> from returning just
		393	because you happen to have this long-running UDP port watcher.
		394
		395	In this case you can clear the keepalive status, which means that even
		396	though your watcher is active, it won't keep C<EV::loop> from returning.
		397
		398	The initial value for keepalive is true (enabled), and you cna change it
		399	any time.
		400
		401	Example: Register an I/O watcher for some UDP socket but do not keep the

		531	jumps (i.e. when the system clock is changed by explicit date -s or other
		532	means such as ntpd). It is also the most complex watcher type in EV.

		547	In this mode the watcher will always be scheduled to time out at the

		551	This can be used to create timers that do not drift with respect to system

		553
		554	my $hourly = EV::periodic 0, 3600, 0, sub { print "once/hour\n" };
		555

312	This periodic timer is based on "wallclock time", that is, if the clock	565	=item * manual reschedule mode ($reschedule_cb = coderef)
313	changes (C<ntp>, C<date -s> etc.), then the timer will nevertheless run at	566
314	the specified time. This means it will never drift (it might jitter, but	567	In this mode $interval and $at are both being ignored. Instead, each
315	it will not drift).	568	time the periodic watcher gets scheduled, the reschedule callback
		569	($reschedule_cb) will be called with the watcher as first, and the current

		576	It must return the next time to trigger, based on the passed time value
		577	(that is, the lowest time value larger than to the second argument). It
		578	will usually be called just before the callback will be triggered, but
		579	might be called at other times, too.
		580
		581	This can be used to create very complex timers, such as a timer that
		582	triggers on each midnight, local time (actually 24 hours after the last
		583	midnight, to keep the example simple. If you know a way to do it correctly

		934
		935	This is a rather advanced watcher type that lets you embed one event loop
		936	into another (currently only IO events are supported in the embedded
		937	loop, other types of watchers might be handled in a delayed or incorrect
		938	fashion and must not be used).
		939
		940	See the libev documentation at
		941	L<http://pod.tst.eu/http://cvs.schmorp.de/libev/ev.pod#code_ev_embed_code_when_one_backend_>
		942	for more details.
		943
		944	In short, this watcher is most useful on BSD systems without working
		945	kqueue to still be able to handle a large number of sockets:
		946
		947	my $socket_loop;
		948
		949	# check wether we use SELECT or POLL _and_ KQUEUE is supported
		950	if (
		951	(EV::backend & (EV::BACKEND_POLL \| EV::BACKEND_SELECT))
		952	&& (EV::supported_backends & EV::embeddable_backends & EV::BACKEND_KQUEUE)
		953	) {
		954	# use kqueue for sockets
		955	$socket_loop = new EV::Loop EV::BACKEND_KQUEUE \| EV::FLAG_NOENV;
		956	}

		968
		969	=item $w = $loop->embed_ns ($otherloop, $callback)
		970
		971	Call the callback when the embedded event loop (C<$otherloop>) has any
		972	I/O activity. The C<$callback> should alwas be specified as C<undef> in
		973	this version of EV, which means the embedded event loop will be managed
		974	automatically.

		979
		980	=head3 ASYNC WATCHERS - how to wake up another event loop
		981
		982	Async watchers are provided by EV, but have little use in perl directly, as perl
		983	neither supports threads nor direct access to signal handlers or other
		984	contexts where they could be of value.
		985
		986	It is, however, possible to use them from the XS level.
		987
		988	Please see the libev documentation for further details.

		1001
		1002
		1003	=head1 PERL SIGNALS
		1004
		1005	While Perl signal handling (C<%SIG>) is not affected by EV, the behaviour
		1006	with EV is as the same as any other C library: Perl-signals will only be
		1007	handled when Perl runs, which means your signal handler might be invoked
		1008	only the next time an event callback is invoked.
		1009
		1010	The solution is to use EV signal watchers (see C<EV::signal>), which will
		1011	ensure proper operations with regards to other event watchers.
		1012
		1013	If you cannot do this for whatever reason, you can also force a watcher
		1014	to be called on every event loop iteration by installing a C<EV::check>
		1015	watcher:
		1016
		1017	my $async_check = EV::check sub { };
		1018
		1019	This ensures that perl gets into control for a short time to handle any
		1020	pending signals, and also ensures (slightly) slower overall operation.

		1026	on thread support for it.
		1027
		1028	=head1 FORK
		1029
		1030	Most of the "improved" event delivering mechanisms of modern operating
		1031	systems have quite a few problems with fork(2) (to put it bluntly: it is
		1032	not supported and usually destructive). Libev makes it possible to work
		1033	around this by having a function that recreates the kernel state after
		1034	fork in the child.
		1035
		1036	On non-win32 platforms, this module requires the pthread_atfork
		1037	functionality to do this automatically for you. This function is quite
		1038	buggy on most BSDs, though, so YMMV. The overhead for this is quite
		1039	negligible, because everything the function currently does is set a flag
		1040	that is checked only when the event loop gets used the next time, so when
		1041	you do fork but not use EV, the overhead is minimal.
		1042
		1043	On win32, there is no notion of fork so all this doesn't apply, of course.
