Module timer

Function `delayed_send`

fn delayed_send<T: copy send>(iotask: iotask, msecs: uint, ch: comm::chan<T>,
                              val: T)

Wait for timeout period then send provided value over a channel

This call returns immediately. Useful as the building block for a number of higher-level timer functions.

Is not guaranteed to wait for exactly the specified time, but will wait for at least that period of time.

Arguments

hl_loop - a uv::hl::high_level_loop that the tcp request will run on
msecs - a timeout period, in milliseconds, to wait
ch - a channel of type T to send a val on
val - a value of type T to send over the provided ch

Function `recv_timeout`

fn recv_timeout<T: copy send>(iotask: iotask, msecs: uint,
                              wait_po: comm::port<T>) -> option<T>

Receive on a port for (up to) a specified time, then return an option<T>

This call will block to receive on the provided port for up to the specified timeout. Depending on whether the provided port receives in that time period, recv_timeout will return an option<T> representing the result.

Arguments

iotask' -uv::iotask` that the tcp request will run on
msecs - an mount of time, in milliseconds, to wait to receive
wait_port - a comm::port<T> to receive on

Returns

An option<T> representing the outcome of the call. If the call recv'd on the provided port in the allotted timeout period, then the result will be a some(T). If not, then none will be returned.

Function `sleep`

fn sleep(iotask: iotask, msecs: uint)

Blocks the current task for (at least) the specified time period.

Is not guaranteed to sleep for exactly the specified time, but will sleep for at least that period of time.

Arguments

iotask - a uv::iotask that the tcp request will run on
msecs - an amount of time, in milliseconds, for the current task to block
