124Create a new local port object. See the next section for allowed methods. 155Kill the specified port with the given C<@reason>.
125 156
126=cut 157If no C<@reason> is specified, then the port is killed "normally" (linked
158ports will not be kileld, or even notified).

174
175Monitor the given port and do something when the port is killed.
176
177In the first form, the callback is simply called with any number
178of C<@reason> elements (no @reason means that the port was deleted
179"normally"). Note also that I<< the callback B<must> never die >>, so use
180C<eval> if unsure.
181
182In the second form, the other port will be C<kil>'ed with C<@reason>, iff
183a @reason was specified, i.e. on "normal" kils nothing happens, while
184under all other conditions, the other port is killed with the same reason.
185
186In the last form, a message of the form C<@msg, @reason> will be C<snd>.
187
188Example: call a given callback when C<$port> is killed.
189
190 mon $port, sub { warn "port died because of <@_>\n" };

192Example: kill ourselves when C<$port> is killed abnormally.

228Monitors the given C<$port> and keeps the passed references. When the port
229is killed, the references will be freed.
230
231Optionally returns a guard that will stop the monitoring.
232
233This function is useful when you create e.g. timers or other watchers and
234want to free them when the port gets killed:
235
236 $port->rcv (start => sub {
237 my $timer; $timer = mon_guard $port, AE::timer 1, 1, sub {
238 undef $timer if 0.9 < rand;

252Create a new local port object that supports message matching.

255
256Creates a "mini port", that is, a very lightweight port without any
257pattern matching behind it, and returns its ID.
258
259The block will be called for every message received on the port. When the
260callback returns a true value its job is considered "done" and the port
261will be destroyed. Otherwise it will stay alive.
262
263The message will be passed as-is, no extra argument (i.e. no port id) will
264be passed to the callback.
265
266If you need the local port id in the callback, this works nicely:
267

269 snd $otherport, reply => $port;
