Linux::FD - Linux specific special filehandles

version 0.011

Linux::FD provides you Linux specific special file handles. These are

  • Event filehandles
  • Signal filehandles
  • Timer filehandles

These allow you to use conventional polling mechanisms to wait for a large variety of events.

This creates an eventfd handle. See Linux::FD::Event for more information on it.

This creates an signalfd handle. See Linux::FD::Signal for more information on it.

This creates an timerfd handle. See Linux::FD::Timer for more information on it.
