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->loop_forever(); 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 $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. $count = $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. SEE ALSO * Glib - Perl wrappers for the GLib utility and Object libraries * Gtk2 - Perl interface to the 2.x series of the Gimp Toolkit library AUTHOR Paul Evans
