Struct calloop::Poll

pub struct Poll { /* fields omitted */ }

The polling system

This type represents the polling system of calloop, on which you can register your file descriptors. This interface is only accessible in implementations of the EventSource trait.

You only need to interact with this type if you are implementing you own event sources, while implementing the EventSource trait. And even in this case, you can often just use the Generic event source and delegate the implementations to it.

Methods

impl Poll

pub fn register(
    &mut self,
    fd: RawFd,
    interest: Interest,
    mode: Mode,
    token: Token
) -> Result<()>

Register a new file descriptor for polling

The file descriptor will be registered with given interest, mode and token. This function will fail if given a bad file descriptor or if the provided file descriptor is already registered.

pub fn reregister(
    &mut self,
    fd: RawFd,
    interest: Interest,
    mode: Mode,
    token: Token
) -> Result<()>

Update the registration for a file descriptor

This allows you to change the interest, mode or token of a file descriptor. Fails if the provided fd is not currently registered.

pub fn unregister(&mut self, fd: RawFd) -> Result<()>

Unregister a file descriptor

This file descriptor will no longer generate events. Fails if the provided file descriptor is not currently registered.
