With +kevent(2), a list of file descriptors or other object to monitor is passed +in once, and the system returns a notification when the object triggers a +filter, such as 'ready to read data' for file descriptors. See the +manpages for details. + +This Python module provides a C module and supporting Python script to +use these functions in a object-oriented manner. + +WWW: http://people.freebsd.org/~dwhite/PyKQueue/ |
