Instance Method Details

#backendObject

Return a symbol representing the backend I/O multiplexing mechanism used. Supported backends are:

  • :ruby - pure Ruby (i.e IO.select)

  • :java - Java NIO on JRuby

  • :epoll - libev w\ Linux epoll

  • :poll - libev w\ POSIX poll

  • :kqueue - libev w\ BSD kqueue

  • :select - libev w\ SysV select

  • :port - libev w\ I/O completion ports

  • :unknown - libev w\ unknown backend

#register(io, interest) ⇒ Object

Register interest in an IO object with the selector for the given types of events. Valid event types for interest are:

  • :r - is the IO readable?

  • :w - is the IO writeable?

  • :rw - is the IO either readable or writeable?

#wakeupObject

Wake up a thread that’s in the middle of selecting on this selector, if any such thread exists.

Invoking this method more than once between two successive select calls has the same effect as invoking it just once. In other words, it provides level-triggered behavior.
