CLASS="FUNCTION"
>rtf_create_handler</TT
> installs  a  handler which is executed when data is written to or read from a real-time fifo (RT-FIFO) by a user-space process.   <TT
CLASS="PARAMETER"
><I
>fifo</I
></TT
> is an RT-FIFO that must have previously been created with a call to <TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>rtf_create</TT
>.  <TT
CLASS="PARAMETER"
><I
>handler</I
></TT
>  is  then called whenever a Linux process accesses that fifo. The handler is executed with the Linux (i.e., lowest) priority.</P
><P
><TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>rtf_create_handler</TT
>  is  often  used  in  conjunction  with rtf_get to process data  acquired  asynchronously  from  a Linux  process.   The installed handler calls <TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>rtf_get</TT
> when data is present.  Because the  handler  is  only  executed when  there is activity on the fifo, polling is not necessary.</P
><P
>The RT-FIFO is a mechanism,  implemented  as  a  character device,  to  communicate between realtime software components (either in threads or  handlers),
 and between realtime software and ordinary Linux processes.  The rtf_* functions are used in RT mode;  Linux  processes use standard character device access functions such  as  <TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>read(2)</TT
>,  <TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>write(2)</TT
>  and <TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>select(2)</TT
>.</P
