Well, once I managed to decipher the attachment (unknown-8bit is not a
helpful character set...), OK, except that I thought that async prio
was -1, not 5? Or am I getting mixed up? The reference to StarvePrio
that I was wondering about originally is in the description of
one_event:
one_event([$timeout])
If any events are outstanding then invoke the
corresponding callback of the highest priority event.
If there are no events available, block forever or until
$timeout. Use of this API is not recommended because it
is not efficient and does not trap exceptions. However,
you might wish to understand how it works:
1 Queue asyncronous events (signals, etc).
2 If there are any events with priority 5 or less (see
StarvePrio) then service the next one and return.
3 Calculate the maximum wait time (minimum time till
the next timer expiration) and pass control to the
poll/select system call. Upon return, queue all
pending events.
4 Queue asyncronous events again.
5 If there are any events then service the next one
and return.
6 Service the next idle watcher.
