EvWatcher
is a base class for all watchers(
EvCheck
,
EvChild
etc.). Since
EvWatcher
's constructor is
abstract
, one can't(and don't need to) create EvWatcher objects
directly.
Readonly
. TRUE if the watcher is active. FALSE otherwise.
data
User custom data associated with the watcher
is_pending
Readonly
.TRUE if the watcher is pending, i.e. it has outstanding events, but
its callback has not yet been invoked. FALSE otherwise. As long, as a
watcher is pending(but not active), one must
not
change its priority.
priority
Integer
between
Ev::MINPRI
and
Ev::MAXPRI
. Pending watchers with higher priority will be invoked before watchers
with lower priority, but priority will not keep watchers from being
executed(except for
EvIdle
watchers).
EvIdle
watchers provide functionality to suppress invocation when higher
priority events are pending.
