ee845b2004-04-05Martin Stjernholm  remove the callback.</p>
7770c92003-10-29Martin Stjernholm <p> A <code>Pike.Backend</code> object is responsible for calling the callbacks. It requires a thread to be waiting in it to execute the calls. That means that only one of the callbacks will be running at a time, so you don't need mutexes between them.</p> <p> Unless you've specified otherwise with the <code>set_backend</code> function, the default backend <code>Pike.DefaultBackend</code> will be used. It's normally activated by returning <code class='expr'>-1</code> from the <tt>main</tt> function and will then execute in the main thread.</p> <ul> <li><p>When data arrives on the stream, <code>read_cb</code> will be called with some or all of that data as the second argument.</p> </li><li><p>When the stream has buffer space over for writing, <code>write_cb</code> will be called so that you can write more data to it.</p>
fc8e992005-01-26Martin Stjernholm <p> This callback is also called after the remote end of a socket
09a3a02005-01-26Martin Stjernholm  connection has closed the write direction. An attempt to write data to it in that case will generate a <code>System.EPIPE</code> errno. If the remote end has closed both directions simultaneously (the usual case), Pike will first attempt to call <code>close_cb</code>, then this callback (unless <code>close_cb</code> has closed the stream).</p>
7770c92003-10-29Martin Stjernholm </li><li><p>When out-of-band data arrives on the stream, <code>read_oob_cb</code> will be called with some or all of that data as the second argument.</p> </li><li><p>When the stream allows out-of-band data to be sent, <code>write_oob_cb</code> will be called so that you can write more out-of-band data to it.</p>
fc8e992005-01-26Martin Stjernholm <p> If the OS doesn't separate the write events for normal and out-of-band data, Pike will try to call <code>write_oob_cb</code> first. If it doesn't write anything, then <code>write_cb</code> will be tried. This also means that <code>write_oob_cb</code> might get called when the
09a3a02005-01-26Martin Stjernholm  remote end of a connection has closed the write direction.</p>
fc8e992005-01-26Martin Stjernholm </li><li><p>When an error or an end-of-stream in the read direction occurs, <code>close_cb</code> will be called. <code>errno</code> will return the error, or zero in the case of an end-of-stream.</p> <p> The name of this callback is rather unfortunate since it really has nothing to do with a close: The stream is still open when <code>close_cb</code> is called (you might not be able to read and/or write to it, but you can still use things like <code>query_address</code>, and the underlying file descriptor is still allocated). Also, this callback will not be called for a local close, neither by a call to <code>close</code> or by destructing this object.</p>
09a3a02005-01-26Martin Stjernholm <p> Also, <code>close_cb</code> will not be called if a remote close only occurs in the write direction; that is handled by <code>write_cb</code> (or possibly <code>write_oob_cb</code>).</p> <p> Events to <code>read_cb</code> and <code>close_cb</code> will be automatically deregistered if an end-of-stream occurs, and all events in the case of an error. I.e. there won't be any more calls to the callbacks unless they are reinstalled. This doesn't affect the
fc8e992005-01-26Martin Stjernholm  callback settings - <code>query_read_callback</code> et al will still return the installed callbacks.</p>
09a3a02005-01-26Martin Stjernholm </li></ul><p>If the stream is a socket performing a nonblocking connect (see <code>open_socket</code> and <code>connect</code>), a connection failure will call <code>close_cb</code>, and a successful connect will call either <code>read_cb</code> or <code>write_cb</code> as above.</p> <p> All callbacks will receive the <tt>id</tt> set by <code>set_id</code> as
7770c92003-10-29Martin Stjernholm  first argument.</p> <p> If a callback returns <code class='expr'>-1</code>, no other callback or call out will be called by the backend in that round. I.e. the caller of the backend will get control back right away. For the default backend that means it will immediately start another round and check files and call outs anew.</p>
