- IO::Select - OO interface to the select system call
-
- SSSSYYYYNNNNOOOOPPPPSSSSIIIISSSS
- use IO::Select;
-
- $s = IO::Select->new();
-
- $s->add(\*STDIN);
- $s->add($some_handle);
-
- @ready = $s->can_read($timeout);
-
- @ready = IO::Select->new(@handles)->read(0);

- The IO::Select package implements an object approach to the
- system select function call. It allows the user to see what
- IO handles, see the _I_O::_H_a_n_d_l_e manpage, are ready for
- reading, writing or have an error condition pending.
-

- new ( [ HANDLES ] )
- The constructor creates a new object and optionally
- initialises it with a set of handles.
-
- MMMMEEEETTTTHHHHOOOODDDDSSSS
- add ( HANDLES )
- Add the list of handles to the IO::Select object. It is
- these values that will be returned when an event occurs.
- IO::Select keeps these values in a cache which is
- indexed by the fileno of the handle, so if more than one
- handle with the same fileno is specified then only the
- last one is cached.
-
- Each handle can be an IO::Handle object, an integer or
- an array reference where the first element is a
- IO::Handle or an integer.
-
- remove ( HANDLES )
- Remove all the given handles from the object. This
- method also works by the fileno of the handles. So the
- exact handles that were added need not be passed, just
- handles that have an equivalent fileno
-
- exists ( HANDLE )
- Returns a true value (actually the handle itself) if it
- is present. Returns undef otherwise.
-
- handles
- Return an array of all registered handles.

-
- can_read ( [ TIMEOUT ] )
- Return an array of handles that are ready for reading.
- TIMEOUT is the maximum amount of time to wait before
- returning an empty list. If TIMEOUT is not given and any
- handles are registered then the call will block.
-
- can_write ( [ TIMEOUT ] )
- Same as can_read except check for handles that can be
- written to.
-
- has_error ( [ TIMEOUT ] )
- Same as can_read except check for handles that have an
- error condition, for example EOF.
-
- count ()
- Returns the number of handles that the object will check
- for when one of the can_ methods is called or the object
- is passed to the select static method.
-
- bits()
- Return the bit string suitable as argument to the core
- _s_e_l_e_c_t() call.
-
- bits()
- Return the bit string suitable as argument to the core
- _s_e_l_e_c_t() call.
-
- select ( READ, WRITE, ERROR [, TIMEOUT ] )
- select is a static method, that is you call it with the
- package name like new. READ, WRITE and ERROR are either
- undef or IO::Select objects. TIMEOUT is optional and has
- the same effect as for the core select call.
-
- The result will be an array of 3 elements, each a
- reference to an array which will hold the handles that
- are ready for reading, writing and have error conditions
- respectively. Upon error an empty array is returned.
-
- EEEEXXXXAAAAMMMMPPPPLLLLEEEE
- Here is a short example which shows how IO::Select could be
- used to write a server which communicates with several
- sockets while also listening for more connections on a
- listen socket
-
- use IO::Select;
- use IO::Socket;
