=============
|
||||
|
||||
This is a one-size-fits-all IPC library to facilitate communication between
|
||||
threads and processes. It contains the following features:
|
||||
threads and processes.
|
||||
|
||||
**Core:**
|
||||
For complete examples, see the `examples` directory in the source tree.
|
||||
## Signals
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Semaphore
|
||||
- [ ] Mutex
|
||||
- [x] Queue
|
||||
- [x] SharedMemory key-value store
|
||||
- [ ] SharedMemory blocks
|
||||
- [x] Signals
|
||||
- [x] Locks
|
||||
Asynchronous signals are automatically enabled if supported. Otherwise, the
|
||||
`pcntl_signal_dispatch()` method must be frequently called from your main loop.
|
||||
You can test for this using the `ASYNC_SIGNALS` constant:
|
||||
|
||||
**High-Level:**
|
||||
if (!ASYNC_SIGNALS) {
|
||||
pcntl_signal_dispatch();
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] EventBridge
|
||||
- [ ] EventDispatcher
|
||||
- [ ] InterOp/Marshalling
|
||||
- [x] Asynchronous timers
|
||||
### Signal handlers
|
||||
|
||||
**Transports:**
|
||||
Signal handlers allow for multiple listeners, with any one of them being able to
|
||||
prevent the signal from bubbling up.
|
||||
|
||||
- [x] Stream channels
|
||||
|
||||
$handler = new SignalHandler(SIGUSR1);
|
||||
|
||||
$handler->addHandler(function () {
|
||||
// Handle SIGUSR1, return true to stop bubbling
|
||||
return true;
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
You can also handle as well as fire signals using the `Signal` class:
|
||||
|
||||
$signal = new Signal(SIGUSR1);
|
||||
$signal->setHandler(function () {
|
||||
// Handle SIGUSR1
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// Dispatch the signal to ourselves
|
||||
(new Signal(SIGUSR1))->dispatch($pid);
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Signal traps
|
||||
|
||||
Traps are used in the main loop to break on signals
|
||||
|
||||
$trap = new SignalTrap(SIGINT);
|
||||
|
||||
while (!$trap->isTrapped()) {
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
## Timers
|
||||
|
||||
Timers fire asynchronously at fixed 1 second intervals. It requires signals to be
|
||||
processed; see above.
|
||||
|
||||
$timer = new Timer(function () {
|
||||
echo ".";
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
## File locks
|
||||
|
||||
File locks uses a shared file as a resource for locking.
|
||||
|
||||
// Creating the lock will not acquire it
|
||||
$lock = new FileLock(__FILE__);
|
||||
|
||||
if (!$lock->acquire()) {
|
||||
echo "fail!\n";
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
$lock->release();
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
## SysV wrappers
|
||||
|
||||
### Semaphores
|
||||
|
||||
### Mutexes
|
||||
|
||||
### Messagae Queues
|
||||
|
||||
## Communication
|
||||
|
||||
### Channels
|
||||
|
||||
Channels are essentially connected pipes. A channel can be created with a stream resource,
|
||||
or through the `createPair()` factory method.
|
||||
|
||||
[ $ch1, $ch2 ] = StreamChannel::createPair();
|
||||
$ch1->send($data);
|
||||
$rcvd = $ch2->receive();
