twisted.internet.kqreactor.KQueueReactor : API documentation

Implements interfaces: twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorDaemonize, twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorFDSet

A reactor that uses kqueue(2)/kevent(2) and relies on Python 2.6 or higher which has built in support for kqueue in the select module.

Method	__init__	Initialize kqueue object, file descriptor tracking dictionaries, and the base class.
Method	beforeDaemonize	Implement `IReactorDaemonize.beforeDaemonize`.
Method	afterDaemonize	Implement `IReactorDaemonize.afterDaemonize`.
Method	addReader	Implement `IReactorFDSet.addReader`.
Method	addWriter	Implement `IReactorFDSet.addWriter`.
Method	removeReader	Implement `IReactorFDSet.removeReader`.
Method	removeWriter	Implement `IReactorFDSet.removeWriter`.
Method	removeAll	Implement `IReactorFDSet.removeAll`.
Method	getReaders	Implement `IReactorFDSet.getReaders`.
Method	getWriters	Implement `IReactorFDSet.getWriters`.
Method	doKEvent	Poll the kqueue for new events.
Instance Variable	_kq	A `kqueue` which will be used to check for I/O readiness.
Instance Variable	_impl	The implementation of `_IKQueue` to use.
Instance Variable	_selectables	A dictionary mapping integer file descriptors to instances of `FileDescriptor` which have been registered with the reactor. All `FileDescriptors` which are currently receiving read or write readiness notifications will be present as values in this dictionary.
Instance Variable	_reads	A set containing integer file descriptors. Values in this set will be registered with `_kq` for read readiness notifications which will be dispatched to the corresponding `FileDescriptor` instances in `_selectables`.
Instance Variable	_writes	A set containing integer file descriptors. Values in this set will be registered with `_kq` for write readiness notifications which will be dispatched to the corresponding `FileDescriptor` instances in `_selectables`.
Method	_updateRegistration	Private method for changing kqueue registration on a given FD filtering for events given filter/op. This will never block and returns nothing.
Method	_doWriteOrRead	Private method called when a FD is ready for reading, writing or was lost. Do the work and raise errors where necessary.
