t.i.k.KQueueReactor(posixbase.PosixReactorBase) : class documentation

Implements interfaces: twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorFDSet

A reactor that uses kqueue(2)/kevent(2).

Instance Variables	_kq	A kqueue which will be used to check for I/O readiness.
	_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.
	_reads	A dictionary mapping integer file descriptors to arbitrary values (this is essentially a set). Keys in this dictionary will be registered with _kq for read readiness notifications which will be dispatched to the corresponding FileDescriptor instances in _selectables.
	_writes	A dictionary mapping integer file descriptors to arbitrary values (this is essentially a set). Keys in this dictionary will be registered with _kq for write readiness notifications which will be dispatched to the corresponding FileDescriptor instances in _selectables.

Method	__init__	Initialize kqueue object, file descriptor tracking dictionaries, and the base class.
Method	addReader	Add a FileDescriptor for notification of data available to read.
Method	addWriter	Add a FileDescriptor for notification of data available to write.
Method	removeReader	Remove a Selectable for notification of data available to read.
Method	removeWriter	Remove a Selectable for notification of data available to write.
Method	removeAll	Remove all selectables, and return a list of them.
Method	getReaders	Return the list of file descriptors currently monitored for input events by the reactor.
Method	getWriters	Return the list file descriptors currently monitored for output events by the reactor.
Method	doKEvent	Poll the kqueue for new events.
Method	_updateRegistration	Undocumented
Method	_doWriteOrRead	Undocumented
