The parallel\Events class

(0.9.0)

The Event Loop

The Event loop monitors the state of sets of futures and or channels (targets) in order to perform read (parallel\Future::value(), parallel\Channel::recv()) and write (parallel\Channel::send()) operations as the targets become available and the operations may be performed without blocking the event loop.

Class synopsis

final class parallel\Events implements Countable, Traversable {
/* Input */
public setInput(Input $input): void
/* Targets */
public addChannel(parallel\Channel $channel): void
public addFuture(string $name, parallel\Future $future): void
public remove(string $target): void
/* Behaviour */
public setBlocking(bool $blocking): void
public setTimeout(int $timeout): void
/* Polling */
}
