44 root 1.14 POSIX optionally offers support for a monotonic clock source. EV
45 root 1.45 can take advantage of this clock source to detect time jumps more
46 root 1.14 reliably. Unfortunately, some systems are bound to be broken, so you can
47     disable this here: you can completely disable the detection and use of
48     the monotonic clock by answering 'n' here. Support for this clock type
49 root 1.29 will otherwise be autodetected at both compile- and runtime. (this setting
50     currently affects the use of nanosleep over select as well).

63     POSIX optionally offers support for a (potentially) high-resolution
64     realtime clock interface. In a good implementation, using it is faster
65     than the normal method of using gettimeofday. Unfortunately, this option
66 root 1.39 is also bound to be broken on some systems, and current EV versions do not
67 root 1.45 actually call gettimeofday very often, so it defaults to no.

78 root 1.46 EV can use various backends with various portability issues. The select
79 root 1.19 backend is the most portable and makes for a good fallback, but it can be
80 root 1.22 limited to a low number of file descriptors and/or might not compile. If
81     you have problems with compiling ev_select.c, you might try to play around
82 root 1.19 with disabling it here, or forcing it to use the fd_set provided by your
83     OS, via the next question. I highly recommend keeping it in.

94    
95     The select backend can operate in two modes. One uses the system-provided
96     fd_set and is usually limited to 1024 file descriptors (64 on windows),
97     the other requires your header files to define NFDBITS and declare a
98     suitable fd_mask type. If you run into problems compiling ev_select.c, you
99     can try forcing the use of the system fd_set here.

115     The second very portable backend is poll(2). It does not exist on windows
116     and various versions of Mac OS X (and on the other versions it simply
117     doesn't work), but works basically everywhere else. It is recommended to use
118     the default here unless you run into compile problems in ev_poll.c.

129 root 1.24 Select and poll make it hard to write efficient servers, especially if the
130     number of active connections is much lower than the watched ones. GNU/Linux
131     systems have a more scalable method called "epoll", which EV can use. For
132     this to work, both your kernel and glibc have to support epoll, but if you
133     can compile it, the detection will be done at runtime, and EV will safely
134     fall back to using select when epoll isn't available. If unsure, accept
135     the default.

147    
148 root 1.58 Linux 4.18 introduced another event polling interface, this time using
149     the Linux AIO API. While this API is far superior to epoll and almost
150     rivals kqueue, it also suffers from the same issues as kqueue typically
151     does: only a subset of file types are supported (as of 4.19, I have seen
152     eventfd, pipes, sockets files and some devices, but no ttys). It also
153     is subject arbitrary system-wide limits imposed on it. Therefore, this
154     backend is not used by default, even when it is compiled in, and you have
155     to request it explicitly, e.g. with LIBEV_FLAGS=64. If unsure, accept the
156     default.

171     The previously mentioned Linux AIO backend is experimental and will not
172     be used unless requested explicitly. You can, howeer, choose to make ti a
173     recommended basckend, which means it will be chosen if available even when
174     not explicitly asked for, in preference to epoll on GNU/Linux. This option

190 root 1.23 Similarly to the epoll backend above, EV can take advantage of kqueue on
191     many BSD systems. Support for kqueue will be detected at runtime, with a
192     safe fallback to other methods when it cannot be used.
193    
194 root 1.31 Note that kqueue is broken on most operating systems, so by default it
195     won't be used on many platforms, but you can still create your own event

200 root 1.45 NetBSD: partially working in at least 3.1 and later. Yeah! :)
201     FreeBSD: broken on at least 6.2-STABLE, spotty in later versions,
202 root 1.28 sockets *likely* work, ptys definitely don't.
203 root 1.23 OpenBSD: reports indicate that it likely doesn't work
204     (similar problems as on FreeBSD).

232 root 1.11 EV needs the functions pthread_atfork and clock_gettime. On most systems
233 root 1.15 you need some special libraries for this (such as -lrt and -lpthread). You
234 root 1.23 can specify additional libraries to provide these calls (and any other
235     required by EV) now, or accept the default.
236 root 1.11
237 root 1.53 On GNU/Linux systems, EV uses the LSB 3.1 __register_atfork function
238     to avoid the dependency on libpthread, and directly uses the clock_gettime

255     be used to speed up (and reduce resource consumption) of stat watchers. If
256 root 1.40 you have the include file and libc support for it, it is usually a good

303 root 1.61 Libev contains numerous internal assert() invocations to check for
