Class type
This module provides an interface to the eventfd(2) system call
type t = private Unix.file_descr
create initval flags
creates an evenfd with the given initial value and flags. See man evenfd(2).
val close : t -> unit
val cloexec : flags
close on exec
val nonblock : flags
non blocking
val semaphore : flags
semaphore semantics, see man eventfd(2)
val empty : flags
no flags
test x y
returns true, if and only if the intersection of the * two sets is not empty. The common case is test set x
where set
* is unknown and x
is a singleton to check that x
is contained in * set
.
val to_string : flags -> string
to_string flags
return a string representation of flags
for debugging
val read : t -> int64
Read the vaue of the eventfd. Block if it is zero (or trigger EAGAIN) and if non zero, reset to 0 if it is not a semaphore otherwise it decrements by 1.
val add : t -> int64 -> unit
Add the given value in the eventfd
