The EvIo class

INTRODUCTION
EvIo watchers check whether a file descriptor(or socket, or a stream castable to numeric file descriptor) is readable or writable in each iteration of the event loop, or, more precisely, when reading would not block the process and writing would at least be able to write some data. This behaviour is called level-triggering because events are kept receiving as long as the condition persists. To stop receiving events just stop the watcher. The number of read and/or write event watchers per $fd is unlimited. Setting all file descriptors to non-blocking mode is also usually a good idea(but not required). Another thing to watch out for is that it is quite easy to receive false readiness notifications, i.e. the callback might be called with Ev::READ but a subsequent read() will actually block because there is no data. It is very easy to get into this situation. Thus it is best to always use non-blocking I/O: An extra read() returning EAGAIN (or similar) is far preferable to a program hanging until some data arrives. If for some reason it is impossible to run the $fd in non-blocking mode, then separately re-test whether a file descriptor is really ready. Some people additionally use SIGALRM and an interval timer, just to be sure thry won't block infinitely. Always consider using non-blocking mode. CLASS SYNOPSIS

The EvChild class

INTRODUCTION
EvChild watchers trigger when the process receives a SIGCHLD in response to some child status changes (most typically when a child dies or exits). It is permissible to install an EvChild watcher after the child has been forked(which implies it might have already exited), as long as the event loop isn't entered(or is continued from a watcher), i.e. forking and then immediately registering a watcher for the child is fine, but forking and registering a watcher a few event loop iterations later or in the next callback invocation is not. It is allowed to register EvChild watchers in the default loop only. CLASS SYNOPSIS
