/* * netio.h -- network I/O support. * * Copyright (c) 2001-2006, NLnet Labs. All rights reserved. * * See LICENSE for the license. * * * The netio module implements event based I/O handling using * pselect(2). Multiple event handlers can wait for a certain event * to occur simultaneously. Each event handler is called when an * event occurs that the event handler has indicated that it is * willing to handle. * * There are four types of events that can be handled: * * NETIO_EVENT_READ: reading will not block. * NETIO_EVENT_WRITE: writing will not block. * NETIO_EVENT_EXCEPT: an exception occurred. * NETIO_EVENT_TIMEOUT: the timeout expired. * * A file descriptor must be specified if the handler is interested in * the first three event types. A timeout must be specified if the * event handler is interested in timeouts. These event types can be * OR'ed together if the handler is willing to handle multiple types * of events. * * The special event type NETIO_EVENT_NONE is available if you wish to * temporarily disable the event handler without removing and adding * the handler to the netio structure. * * The event callbacks are free to modify the netio_handler_type * structure to change the file descriptor, timeout, event types, user * data, or handler functions. * * The main loop of the program must call netio_dispatch to check for * events and dispatch them to the handlers. An additional timeout * can be specified as well as the signal mask to install while * blocked in pselect(2). */ #ifndef _NETIO_H_ #define _NETIO_H_ #ifdef HAVE_SYS_SELECT_H #include #endif #include #include "region-allocator.h" /* * The type of events a handler is interested in.
