11 * Paraslash's scheduler.
13 * Designed with KISS in mind. It manages two lists of tasks. The pre_select
14 * list contains pointers to functions that are called before calling select()
15 * from the main loop. Similarly, \a post_select_list is a list of function
16 * pointers each of which is called after the select call. Tasks add hooks to
17 * these lists by registering themselves to the scheduler.

22 /** The current timeout for the upcoming select call. */
23 struct timeval select_timeout;
24 /** fds that should be watched for readability. */
26 /** fds that should be watched for writability. */
28 /** Highest numbered file descriptor in any of the above fd sets. */

39 * Paraslash's task structure.
41 * Before registering a task to the scheduler, the task structure must be
42 * filled in properly by the caller.
48 * The pre select hook of \a t.
50 * Its purpose is to add file descriptors to the fd sets of the
51 * scheduler and to decrease the select timeout if necessary.
53 void (*pre_select)(struct sched *s, struct task *t);
55 * The post select hook of \a t.
57 * Its purpose is to evaluate and act upon the results of the previous
58 * select call. If this function returns a negative value, the
59 * scheduler unregisters the task.

70 /** If less than zero, the task was notified by another task. */
75 * This is set by the scheduler at the beginning of its main loop. It may be
76 * used (read-only) from everywhere. As none of the functions called by the
77 * scheduler are allowed to block, this value should be accurate enough so that
78 * there is no need to call clock_gettime() directly.
