Instance Method Details

#event_callback(*methods) ⇒ Object

Define callbacks whose behavior can be changed on-the-fly per instance. This is done by giving a block to the callback method, which is captured as a proc and stored for later. If the method is called without a block, the stored block is executed if present, otherwise it’s a noop.

end

#watcher_delegate(proxy_var) ⇒ Object

Use an alternate watcher with the attach/detach/enable/disable methods if it is presently assigned. This is useful if you are waiting for an event to occur before the current watcher can be used in earnest, such as making an outgoing TCP connection.
