NAME

    Mojo::Reactor::Epoll - epoll backend for Mojo::Reactor

SYNOPSIS

      use Mojo::Reactor::Epoll;
    
      # Watch if handle becomes readable or writable
      my $reactor = Mojo::Reactor::Epoll->new;
      $reactor->io($first => sub {
        my ($reactor, $writable) = @_;
        say $writable ? 'First handle is writable' : 'First handle is readable';
      });
    
      # Change to watching only if handle becomes writable
      $reactor->watch($first, 0, 1);
    
      # Turn file descriptor into handle and watch if it becomes readable
      my $second = IO::Handle->new_from_fd($fd, 'r');
      $reactor->io($second => sub {
        my ($reactor, $writable) = @_;
        say $writable ? 'Second handle is writable' : 'Second handle is readable';
      })->watch($second, 1, 0);
    
      # Add a timer
      $reactor->timer(15 => sub {
        my $reactor = shift;
        $reactor->remove($first);
        $reactor->remove($second);
        say 'Timeout!';
      });
    
      # Start reactor if necessary
      $reactor->start unless $reactor->is_running;
    
      # Or in an application using Mojo::IOLoop
      use Mojo::Reactor::Epoll;
      use Mojo::IOLoop;
      
      # Or in a Mojolicious application
      $ MOJO_REACTOR=Mojo::Reactor::Epoll hypnotoad script/myapp

DESCRIPTION

    Mojo::Reactor::Epoll is an event reactor for Mojo::IOLoop that uses the
    epoll(7) Linux subsystem. The usage is exactly the same as other
    Mojo::Reactor implementations such as Mojo::Reactor::Poll.
    Mojo::Reactor::Epoll will be used as the default backend for
    Mojo::IOLoop if it is loaded before Mojo::IOLoop or any module using
    the loop. However, when invoking a Mojolicious application through
    morbo or hypnotoad, the reactor must be set as the default by setting
    the MOJO_REACTOR environment variable to Mojo::Reactor::Epoll.

EVENTS

    Mojo::Reactor::Epoll inherits all events from Mojo::Reactor::Poll.

METHODS

    Mojo::Reactor::Epoll inherits all methods from Mojo::Reactor::Poll and
    implements the following new ones.

 io

      $reactor = $reactor->io($handle => sub {...});

    Watch handle for I/O events, invoking the callback whenever handle
    becomes readable or writable.

      # Callback will be invoked twice if handle becomes readable and writable
      $reactor->io($handle => sub {
        my ($reactor, $writable) = @_;
        say $writable ? 'Handle is writable' : 'Handle is readable';
      });

 one_tick

      $reactor->one_tick;

    Run reactor until an event occurs or no events are being watched
    anymore. Note that this method can recurse back into the reactor, so
    you need to be careful.

      # Don't block longer than 0.5 seconds
      my $id = $reactor->timer(0.5 => sub {});
      $reactor->one_tick;
      $reactor->remove($id);

 recurring

      my $id = $reactor->recurring(0.25 => sub {...});

    Create a new recurring timer, invoking the callback repeatedly after a
    given amount of time in seconds.

 remove

      my $bool = $reactor->remove($handle);
      my $bool = $reactor->remove($id);

    Remove handle or timer.

 reset

      $reactor->reset;

    Remove all handles and timers.

 timer

      my $id = $reactor->timer(0.5 => sub {...});

    Create a new timer, invoking the callback after a given amount of time
    in seconds.

 watch

      $reactor = $reactor->watch($handle, $readable, $writable);

    Change I/O events to watch handle for with true and false values. Note
    that this method requires an active I/O watcher.

      # Watch only for readable events
      $reactor->watch($handle, 1, 0);
    
      # Watch only for writable events
      $reactor->watch($handle, 0, 1);
    
      # Watch for readable and writable events
      $reactor->watch($handle, 1, 1);
    
      # Pause watching for events
      $reactor->watch($handle, 0, 0);

CAVEATS

    The epoll notification facility is exclusive to Linux systems.

    The epoll handle is not usable across forks, and this is not currently
    managed for you, though it is not created until the loop is started to
    allow for preforking deployments such as hypnotoad.
