TICKIT_WATCH_IO(3)	   Library Functions Manual	    TICKIT_WATCH_IO(3)

NAME
       tickit_watch_io - invoke	a callback when	IO is possible

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<tickit.h>

       typedef enum TickitIOCondition;

       typedef struct {
	 int fd;
	 TickitIOCondition cond;
       } TickitIOWatchInfo;

       typedef int TickitCallbackFn(Tickit *t, TickitEventflags	flags,
	   void	*info, void *user);

       void *tickit_watch_io(Tickit *t,	int fd,	TickitIOCondition cond,
	   TickitBindFlags flags, TickitCallbackFn *fn,	void *user);

       Link with -ltickit.

DESCRIPTION
       tickit_watch_io()  registers  a	callback function to be	invoked	by the
       toplevel	event loop when	IO operations are possible on a	given file de-
       scriptor. A registered callback will be invoked by a  running  call  to
       tickit_run(3).  The callback function will be invoked whenever the file
       descriptor is readable, writable, or in a hang-up condition,  depending
       on  the	requested  condition  types.  The info pointer will point to a
       structure containing the	file descriptor	and a bitmask of the IO	opera-
       tions currently possible.

       The cond	argument to tickit_watch_io() should be	a bitmask of at	 least
       one of the following values:

       TICKIT_IO_IN
	      The file descriptor is ready to perform an input operation, such
	      as reading bytes.

       TICKIT_IO_OUT
	      The  file	 descriptor  is	 ready to perform an output operation,
	      such as writing bytes.

       TICKIT_IO_HUP
	      The file descriptor is in	a hang-up  condition.  Typically  this
	      means that a connection such as a	socket or pipe has been	closed
	      by the peer.

       When the	callback function is invoked, the info struct will contain the
       file  descriptor	 in the	fd field, and the current IO conditions	in the
       cond field. This	may be one of the values given above, and in  addition
       may also	be one of the following:

       TICKIT_IO_ERR
	      The file descriptor is in	an error condition.

       TICKIT_IO_INVAL
	      The  file	descriptor itself is invalid and does not represent an
	      open file.

       If registered with the TICKIT_BIND_FIRST	flag, the callback will	be in-
       serted at the start of the queue, coming	before others. If not,	it  is
       appended	at the end.

       If cancelled by tickit_watch_cancel(3) the callback function is invoked
       with  just  the	TICKIT_EV_UNBIND  flag	if it had been registered with
       TICKIT_BIND_UNBIND.

RETURN VALUE
       tickit_watch_io() returns an opaque identifier pointer.
