event-driven reactor
Callback function for reactor socket activity
Callback function for reactor events (low-level)
Callback for reactor timer events
Create a new zloop reactor
Destroy a reactor
Register socket reader with the reactor. When the reader has messages,
the reactor will call the handler, passing the arg. Returns 0 if OK, -1
if there was an error. If you register the same socket more than once,
each instance will invoke its corresponding handler.
Cancel a socket reader from the reactor. If multiple readers exist for
same socket, cancels ALL of them.
Configure a registered reader to ignore errors. If you do not set this,
then readers that have errors are removed from the reactor silently.
Register low-level libzmq pollitem with the reactor. When the pollitem
is ready, will call the handler, passing the arg. Returns 0 if OK, -1
if there was an error. If you register the pollitem more than once, each
instance will invoke its corresponding handler. A pollitem with
socket=NULL and fd=0 means 'poll on FD zero'.
Cancel a pollitem from the reactor, specified by socket or FD. If both
are specified, uses only socket. If multiple poll items exist for same
socket/FD, cancels ALL of them.
Configure a registered poller to ignore errors. If you do not set this,
then poller that have errors are removed from the reactor silently.
Register a timer that expires after some delay and repeats some number of
times. At each expiry, will call the handler, passing the arg. To run a
timer forever, use 0 times. Returns a timer_id that is used to cancel the
timer in the future. Returns -1 if there was an error.
Cancel a specific timer identified by a specific timer_id (as returned by
zloop_timer).
Register a ticket timer. Ticket timers are very fast in the case where
you use a lot of timers (thousands), and frequently remove and add them.
The main use case is expiry timers for servers that handle many clients,
and which reset the expiry timer for each message received from a client.
Whereas normal timers perform poorly as the number of clients grows, the
cost of ticket timers is constant, no matter the number of clients. You
must set the ticket delay using zloop_set_ticket_delay before creating a
ticket. Returns a handle to the timer that you should use in
zloop_ticket_reset and zloop_ticket_delete.
Reset a ticket timer, which moves it to the end of the ticket list and
resets its execution time. This is a very fast operation.
Delete a ticket timer. We do not actually delete the ticket here, as
other code may still refer to the ticket. We mark as deleted, and remove
later and safely.
Set the ticket delay, which applies to all tickets. If you lower the
delay and there are already tickets created, the results are undefined.
Set hard limit on number of timers allowed. Setting more than a small
number of timers (10-100) can have a dramatic impact on the performance
of the reactor. For high-volume cases, use ticket timers. If the hard
limit is reached, the reactor stops creating new timers and logs an
error.
Set verbose tracing of reactor on/off. The default verbose setting is
off (false).
By default the reactor stops if the process receives a SIGINT or SIGTERM
signal. This makes it impossible to shut-down message based architectures
like zactors. This method lets you switch off break handling. The default
nonstop setting is off (false).
Start the reactor. Takes control of the thread and returns when the 0MQ
context is terminated or the process is interrupted, or any event handler
returns -1. Event handlers may register new sockets and timers, and
cancel sockets. Returns 0 if interrupted, -1 if canceled by a handler.
