mruby-poll

Low level system poll for mruby

Example without a block

poll = Poll.new

pollfd = poll.add(STDOUT_FILENO, Poll::Out)

if ready_fds = poll.wait
  ready_fds.each do |ready_fd|
    puts ready_fd
  end
end

Example with a block

poll = Poll.new

pollfd = poll.add(STDOUT_FILENO, Poll::Out)

poll.wait do |ready_fd|
  if ready_fd == pollfd
    puts "got STDOUT_FILENO"
  end
end
