Module dharma::dispatcher

Handling system events (epoll wrapper).

This module provides functionality to implement main program loop by waiting for system events using epoll mechanism.

Source of events is represented by EventHandlers, while whole loop by Dispatchers. LocalDispatcher can be used for single-thread programs when EventHandler do not implement Send while Dispatcher is meant for multi-threaded programs. DispatcherController and LocalDispatcherController are used to control Dispatcher and LocalDispatcher respectively.
