NAME

"IO::Async::Loop::Glib" − use "IO::Async" with Glib or GTK

SYNOPSIS

use IO::Async::Loop::Glib;
my $loop = IO::Async::Loop::Glib−>new();
$loop−>add( ... );
...
# Rest of GLib/Gtk program that uses GLib
Glib::MainLoop−>new−>run();

Or

$loop−>run;

Or

while(1) {
$loop−>loop_once();
}

DESCRIPTION

This subclass of "IO::Async::Loop" uses the "Glib::MainLoop" to perform read−ready and write−ready tests.

The appropriate "Glib::IO" sources are added or removed from the "Glib::MainLoop" when notifiers are added or removed from the set, or when they change their "want_writeready" status. The callbacks are called automatically by Glib itself; no special methods on this loop object are required.

CONSTRUCTOR

new

$loop = IO::Async::Loop::Glib−>new()

This function returns a new instance of a "IO::Async::Loop::Glib" object. It takes no special arguments.

METHODS

There are no special methods in this subclass, other than those provided by the "IO::Async::Loop" base class.

loop_once

$loop−>loop_once( $timeout )

This method calls the iteration() method on the underlying "Glib::MainContext". If a timeout value is supplied, then a Glib timeout will be installed, to interrupt the loop at that time. If Glib indicates that any callbacks were fired, then this method will return 1 (however, it does not mean that any "IO::Async" callbacks were invoked, as there may be other parts of code sharing the Glib main context. Otherwise, it will return 0.
