twisted.internet.process._FDDetector : API documentation

This class contains the logic necessary to decide which of the available system techniques should be used to detect the open file descriptors for the current process. The chosen technique gets monkey-patched into the _listOpenFDs method of this class so that the detection only needs to occur once.

Unknown Field: ivars	listdir	The implementation of listdir to use. This gets overwritten by the test cases.
	getpid	The implementation of getpid to use, returns the PID of the running process.
	openfile	The implementation of open() to use, by default the Python builtin.

Method	__init__	Undocumented
Method	_listOpenFDs	Return an iterable of file descriptors which may be open in this process.
Method	_getImplementation	Pick a method which gives correct results for `_listOpenFDs` in this runtime environment.
Method	_devFDImplementation	Simple implementation for systems where /dev/fd actually works. See: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?fdescfs
Method	_procFDImplementation	Simple implementation for systems where /proc/pid/fd exists (we assume it works).
Method	_fallbackFDImplementation	Fallback implementation where either the resource module can inform us about the upper bound of how many FDs to expect, or where we just guess a constant maximum if there is no resource module.

def _listOpenFDs(self): (source)

Return an iterable of file descriptors which may be open in this process.

This will try to return the fewest possible descriptors without missing any.

def _getImplementation(self): (source)

Pick a method which gives correct results for _listOpenFDs in this runtime environment.

This involves a lot of very platform-specific checks, some of which may be relatively expensive. Therefore the returned method should be saved and re-used, rather than always calling this method to determine what it is.

See the implementation for the details of how a method is selected.

def _fallbackFDImplementation(self): (source)

Fallback implementation where either the resource module can inform us about the upper bound of how many FDs to expect, or where we just guess a constant maximum if there is no resource module.

All possible file descriptors from 0 to that upper bound are returned with no attempt to exclude invalid file descriptor values.
