Struct Events

pub struct Events<S> { /* private fields */ }

Shared event mask.

The event mask is an atomic bitmask shared between the executor and the event sources. The type parameter S is an EventMask.

Events or signals?

They are the same. The name “event” refers to their presence in the shared event mask, while the name “signal” refers to poll-local signal masks. Events become signals when they are handled or waited for.

Implementations

impl<S> Events<S>

pub const fn new() -> Self

Construct a new event mask.

This is the same as Events::default() but is also const.

pub fn watch(&self) -> Signals<'_, S>

Associate a new Signals to this event mask.

This indirectly links the executor to the event mask, since creating an Executor requires a Signals.

impl<S: EventMask> Events<S>

pub fn raise(&self, signals: S)

Raise all events in a mask.

This operation is atomic: multiple events can be safely raised at the same time. Already raised signals are left as is.

Trait Implementations

impl<S> Default for Events<S>

fn default() -> Self

Returns the “default value” for a type.
