<title>Watcher callbacks</title>
<para>
All watchers can be active(waiting for events) or inactive(paused). Only
active watchers will have their callbacks invoked. All callbacks will be
called with at least two arguments:
<parameter>watcher</parameter>
- the watcher, and
<parameter>revents</parameter>
a bitmask of received events.
</para>
<para>
Watcher callbacks are passed to the watcher constructors (the classes derived
from
<classname>EvWatcher</classname>
-
<methodname>EvCheck::__construct</methodname>
,
<methodname>EvChild::__construct</methodname>
etc.). A watcher callback should match the following prototype:
</para>
<methodsynopsis>
<type>void</type>
<methodname>callback</methodname>
<methodparam
choice="opt">
<type>object</type>
<parameter>watcher</parameter>
<initializer>NULL</initializer>
</methodparam>
<methodparam
choice="opt">
<type>int</type>
<parameter>revents</parameter>
<initializer>NULL</initializer>
</methodparam>
</methodsynopsis>
<para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>
<parameter>watcher</parameter>
</term>
<listitem>
<para>
The watcher instance(of a class extending
<classname>EvWatcher</classname>
).
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>
<parameter>revents</parameter>
</term>
<listitem>
<para>
<link linkend="ev.constants.watcher-revents">Watcher received events</link>
.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
</para>
<para>
Each watcher type has its associated bit in
<parameter>revents</parameter>
, so one can use the same callback for multiple watchers. The event mask is
named after the type, i.e.
<classname>EvChild</classname>
(or
<methodname>EvLoop::child</methodname>
) sets
<constant>EV::CHILD</constant>
,
<classname>EvPrepare</classname>
(or
<methodname>EvLoop::prepare</methodname>
) sets
<constant>Ev::PREPARE</constant>
,
<classname>EvPeriodic</classname>
(or
<methodname>EvLoop::periodic</methodname>
) sets
<constant>Ev::PERIODIC</constant>
and so on, with the exception of I/O events (which can set both
<constant>Ev::READ</constant>
and
<constant>Ev::WRITE</constant>
bits).
