+ +SILC Schedule Interface
Header: silcschedule.h

+ + +DESCRIPTION + +

+ The SILC Scheduler is the heart of any application. 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.
