The file -is indicated by \fIfd\fR, and the conditions of interest -are indicated by \fImask\fR. For example, if \fImask\fR -is \fBTCL_READABLE\fR, \fIproc\fR will be called when -the file is readable. -The callback to \fIproc\fR is made by \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR, so -\fBTcl_CreateFileHandler\fR is only useful in programs that dispatch -events through \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR or through Tcl commands such -as \fBvwait\fR. -.PP -\fIProc\fR should have arguments and result that match the -type \fBTcl_FileProc\fR: -.PP -.CS -typedef void \fBTcl_FileProc\fR( - ClientData \fIclientData\fR, - int \fImask\fR); -.CE -.PP -The \fIclientData\fR parameter to \fIproc\fR is a copy -of the \fIclientData\fR -argument given to \fBTcl_CreateFileHandler\fR when the callback -was created. Typically, \fIclientData\fR points to a data -structure containing application-specific information about -the file. \fIMask\fR is an integer mask indicating which -of the requested conditions actually exists for the file; it -will contain a subset of the bits in the \fImask\fR argument -to \fBTcl_CreateFileHandler\fR. -.PP -There may exist only one handler for a given file at a given time. -If \fBTcl_CreateFileHandler\fR is called when a handler already -exists for \fIfd\fR, then the new callback replaces the information -that was previously recorded. -.PP -\fBTcl_DeleteFileHandler\fR may be called to delete the -file handler for \fIfd\fR; if no handler exists for the -file given by \fIfd\fR then the procedure has no effect. -.PP -The purpose of file handlers is to enable an application to respond to -events while waiting for files to become ready for I/O. For this to work -correctly, the application may need to use non-blocking I/O operations on -the files for which handlers are declared. Otherwise the application may -block if it reads or writes too much data; while waiting for the I/O to -complete the application will not be able to service other events. Use -\fBTcl_SetChannelOption\fR with \fB\-blocking\fR to set the channel into -blocking or nonblocking mode as required. -.PP -Note that these interfaces are only supported by the Unix -implementation of the Tcl notifier. -.SH "SEE ALSO" -fileevent(n), Tcl_CreateTimerHandler(3), Tcl_DoWhenIdle(3) -.SH KEYWORDS -callback, file, handler |
