1 | libasyncio |
| 2 | =========== | |
| 3 | ||
| 4 | a library providing an infrastructure for dealing with asnychronous | |
| 5 | io and support event driven programming. | |
| 6 | ||
| 7 | The basic idea for this lib is to provide classes which hide the details | |
| 8 | of polling/selecting for events on file descriptors and provide a more | |
| 9 | convenient interface which supports the idea of event driven programming. | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | ||
| 12 | The library was originally developed by Intra2net as part of the | |
| 13 | Intranator connection daemon which is part of the Intranator (see http://www.intranator.com/). | |
| 14 | During development it was extracted as a separate module. | |

| 20 | The libasyncio provides: | |
| 21 | ||
| 22 | - basic class for handling reading from and writing to fd's | |
| 23 | - filter plugin support for incoming/outgoing data. | |
| 24 | - timer events | |
| 25 | - deferred function calls; "frozen" function calls | |
| 26 | - start and handle subprocesses (connecting to their stdin/stdout/stderr) | |
| 27 | - unix domain socket handling | |
| 28 | - event signals (using boost-signal lib) | |
| 29 | - ... and some more stuff. | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | ||
| 32 | It depend on the boost library (see http://www.boost.org/). | |
