Poll

A #GstPoll keeps track of file descriptors much like fd_set (used with select()) or a struct pollfd array (used with poll()). Once created with gst_poll_new(), the set can be used to wait for file descriptors to be readable and/or writable. It is possible to make this wait be controlled by specifying %TRUE for the @controllable flag when creating the set (or later calling gst_poll_set_controllable()).

New file descriptors are added to the set using gst_poll_add_fd(), and removed using gst_poll_remove_fd(). Controlling which file descriptors should be waited for to become readable and/or writable are done using gst_poll_fd_ctl_read() and gst_poll_fd_ctl_write().

Use gst_poll_wait() to wait for the file descriptors to actually become readable and/or writable, or to timeout if no file descriptor is available in time. The wait can be controlled by calling gst_poll_restart() and gst_poll_set_flushing().

Once the file descriptor set has been waited for, one can use gst_poll_fd_has_closed() to see if the file descriptor has been closed, gst_poll_fd_has_error() to see if it has generated an error, gst_poll_fd_can_read() to see if it is possible to read from the file descriptor, and gst_poll_fd_can_write() to see if it is possible to write to it.

Constructors

this
this(GstPoll* gstPoll, bool ownedRef)

Sets our main struct and passes it to the parent class.

this
this(bool controllable)

Create a new file descriptor set. If @controllable, it is possible to restart or flush a call to gst_poll_wait() with gst_poll_restart() and gst_poll_set_flushing() respectively.

this
this()

Create a new poll object that can be used for scheduling cancellable timeouts.

Members

Functions

addFd
bool addFd(PollFD fd)

Add a file descriptor to the file descriptor set.

fdCanRead
bool fdCanRead(PollFD fd)

Check if @fd in @set has data to be read.

fdCanWrite
bool fdCanWrite(PollFD fd)

Check if @fd in @set can be used for writing.

fdCtlRead
bool fdCtlRead(PollFD fd, bool active)

Control whether the descriptor @fd in @set will be monitored for readability.

fdCtlWrite
bool fdCtlWrite(PollFD fd, bool active)

Control whether the descriptor @fd in @set will be monitored for writability.

fdHasClosed
bool fdHasClosed(PollFD fd)

Check if @fd in @set has closed the connection.

fdHasError
bool fdHasError(PollFD fd)

Check if @fd in @set has an error.

fdIgnored
void fdIgnored(PollFD fd)

Mark @fd as ignored so that the next call to gst_poll_wait() will yield the same result for @fd as last time. This function must be called if no operation (read/write/recv/send/etc.) will be performed on @fd before the next call to gst_poll_wait().

free
void free()

Free a file descriptor set.

getPollStruct
GstPoll* getPollStruct()

Get the main Gtk struct

getReadGpollfd
void getReadGpollfd(GPollFD* fd)

Get a GPollFD for the reading part of the control socket. This is useful when integrating with a GSource and GMainLoop.

getStruct
void* getStruct()

the main Gtk struct as a void*

readControl
bool readControl()

Read a byte from the control socket of the controllable @set.

removeFd
bool removeFd(PollFD fd)

Remove a file descriptor from the file descriptor set.

restart
void restart()

Restart any gst_poll_wait() that is in progress. This function is typically used after adding or removing descriptors to @set.

setControllable
bool setControllable(bool controllable)

When @controllable is %TRUE, this function ensures that future calls to gst_poll_wait() will be affected by gst_poll_restart() and gst_poll_set_flushing().

setFlushing
void setFlushing(bool flushing)

When @flushing is %TRUE, this function ensures that current and future calls to gst_poll_wait() will return -1, with errno set to EBUSY.

wait
int wait(GstClockTime timeout)

Wait for activity on the file descriptors in @set. This function waits up to the specified @timeout. A timeout of #GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE waits forever.

writeControl
bool writeControl()

Write a byte to the control socket of the controllable @set. This function is mostly useful for timer #GstPoll objects created with gst_poll_new_timer().

Variables

gstPoll
GstPoll* gstPoll;

the main Gtk struct

ownedRef
bool ownedRef;
Undocumented in source.
