IO::Poll(3p)	Perl Programmers Reference Guide     IO::Poll(3p)

NAME
     IO::Poll - Object interface to system poll call

SYNOPSIS
	 use IO::Poll qw(POLLRDNORM POLLWRNORM POLLIN POLLHUP);

	 $poll = new IO::Poll;

	 $poll->mask($input_handle => POLLIN);
	 $poll->mask($output_handle => POLLOUT);

	 $poll->poll($timeout);

	 $ev = $poll->events($input);

DESCRIPTION
     "IO::Poll" is a simple interface to the system level poll
     routine.

METHODS
     mask ( IO [, EVENT_MASK ] )
	 If EVENT_MASK is given, then, if EVENT_MASK is non-zero,
	 IO is added to the list of file descriptors and the next
	 call to poll will check for any event specified in
	 EVENT_MASK. If EVENT_MASK is zero then IO will be
	 removed from the list of file descriptors.

	 If EVENT_MASK is not given then the return value will be
	 the current event mask value for IO.

     poll ( [ TIMEOUT ] )
	 Call the system level poll routine. If TIMEOUT is not
	 specified then the call will block. Returns the number
	 of handles which had events happen, or -1 on error.

     events ( IO )
	 Returns the event mask which represents the events that
	 happened on IO during the last call to "poll".

     remove ( IO )
	 Remove IO from the list of file descriptors for the next
	 poll.

     handles( [ EVENT_MASK ] )
	 Returns a list of handles. If EVENT_MASK is not given
	 then a list of all handles known will be returned. If
	 EVENT_MASK is given then a list of handles will be
	 returned which had one of the events specified by
	 EVENT_MASK happen during the last call ti "poll"
