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. $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
