||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | <dl> |
||
| 27 | <dt><b>oop_source *source</b> |
||
| 28 | <dd>The event source to register or unregister the event sink with. This must |
||
| 29 | be the same event source you got the function pointer from: |
||
| 30 | "src->on_time(src,...);".<p> |
||
| 31 | |||
| 32 | <dt><b>struct timeval tv</b> |
||
| 33 | <dd>The time to wait for. OOP_TIME_NOW (or any time in the past) will cause |
||
| 34 | immediate scheduling.<p> |
||
| 35 | |||
| 36 | <dt><b>oop_call_time *call</b> |
||
| 37 | <dd>The callback function (event sink) to add (or remove).<p> |
||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | <dt><b>void *user</b> |
||
| 40 | <dd>User data passed through to the callback function.<p> |
||
| 41 | </dl> |
||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | <h3>Description.</h3> |
||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | Note that these are not global functions, but function pointers supplied |
||
| 46 | by the event source (in the <em>oop_source</em> structure) or by the user. |
||
| 47 | |||
| 48 | <dl> |
||
| 49 | <dt><b>on_time</b> |
||
| 50 | <dd>After this function is called, when the event loop is running and the |
||
| 51 | time <em>tv</em> is reached (or immediately upon entry to the event loop, if |
||
| 52 | the specified time occurs in the past), the event source will call the function |
||
| 53 | <em>call</em>, passing it a pointer to the event source, the scheduled time, |
||
| 54 | and the same opaque <em>user</em> pointer passed to on_time. This callback |
||
| 55 | will only be called once. Many callbacks may be registered for the same |
||
| 56 | time.<p> |
||
| 57 | |||
| 58 | <dt><b>cancel_time</b> |
||
| 59 | <dd>Deactivate an event sink callback registered using on_time (above). If the |
||
| 60 | passed <em>tv</em>, <em>call</em> and <em>user</em> match a previously |
||
| 61 | registered callback, it will be removed; if they match more than one, one of |
||
| 62 | them will be removed; otherwise, no action is taken.<p> |
||
| 63 | |||
| 64 | <dt><b>oop_call_time</b> |
||
| 65 | <dd>Called when the event is triggered. Performs a user_specific action. |
||
| 66 | Should return OOP_CONTINUE if the event loop should continue operating; any |
||
| 67 | other value (including OOP_HALT) will cause termination of the event loop. |
||
