The scheduler provides * the application's main loop that can handle incoming data, outgoing data, * timeouts and dispatch different kind of tasks. * * The SILC Scheduler supports file descriptor based tasks and timeout tasks. * File descriptor tasks are tasks that perform some operation over the * specified file descriptor. These include network connections, for example. * The timeout tasks are timeouts that are executed after the specified * timeout has elapsed. * * The SILC Scheduler is designed to be the sole main loop of the application * so that the application does not need any other main loop. However, * SILC Scheduler does support running the scheduler only once, so that the * scheduler does not block, and thus providing a possiblity that some * external main loop is run over the SILC Scheduler. * * Typical application first initializes the scheduler and then registers * the very first tasks to the scheduler and then run the scheduler. After * the scheduler's run function returns the application is considered to be * ended. * * On WIN32 systems the SILC Scheduler is too designed to work as the main * loop of the GUI application. It can handle all Windows messages and * it dispatches them from the scheduler, and thus makes it possible to * create GUI applications. The scheduler can also handle all kinds of * WIN32 handles, this includes sockets created by the SILC Net API routines, * WSAEVENT handle objects created by Winsock2 routines and arbitrary * WIN32 HANDLE objects. * * The SILC Scheduler supports multi-threads as well. The actual scheduler * must be run in single-thread but other threads may register new tasks * and unregister old tasks. However, it is enforced that the actual * task is always run in the main thread. The scheduler is context based * which makes it possible to allocate several schedulers for one application. * Since the scheduler must be run in single-thread, a multi-threaded * application could be created by allocating own scheduler for each of the * worker threads. * ***/ #ifndef SILCSCHEDULE_H #define SILCSCHEDULE_H /****s* silcutil/SilcScheduleAPI/SilcSchedule * * NAME * * typedef struct SilcScheduleStruct *SilcSchedule; * * DESCRIPTION * * This context is the actual Scheduler and is allocated by * the silc_schedule_init funtion.
