Co-ordinates interactions between a TimerList and a SelectorList for Xorp processes. All XorpTimer and select operations should be co-ordinated through this interface.

| void run ()
| run |
Invoke all pending callbacks relating to XorpTimer and file descriptor activity. This function may block if there are no selectors ready. It may block forever if there are no timers pending. The timers_pending method can be used to detect whether there are timers pending, while the events_pending method can be used to detect whether there any events pending. An event can be either timer or task. The descriptor_count method can be used to see if there are any select'able file descriptors.
EventLoop e;
...
while(e.events_pending() || e.descriptor_count() > 0) {
e.run();
}
Non-xorp processes which use Xorp code should create a periodic timer to prevent the run() function from blocking indefinitely when there are no pending XorpTimer or SelectList objects. The period of the timer will depend on the application's existing needs.

static int count = 0;

}
int main() {
... // Program initialization
// Add a Xorp EventLoop
EventLoop e;
XorpTimer wakeywakey = e.new_periodic_ms(100, callback(wakeup_hook, 1));
// Program's main loop
for(;;) {
... do what program does in its main loop ...

| ms | the period in milliseconds when the timer expires. |
| pcb | user callback object that is invoked when timer expires. If the callback returns false the periodic XorpTimer is unscheduled. |
Returns: a XorpTimer object that must be assigned to remain scheduled.
| XorpTimer set_flag_at (const TimeVal& when,
bool* flag_ptr,
bool to_value = true)
| set_flag_at |
Add a flag setting timer to the EventLoop.
Parameters:
| when | the absolute time when the timer expires. |
| flag_ptr | pointer to a boolean variable that is to be set when the timer expires. |
| to_value | value to set the boolean variable to. Default value is true. |
Returns: a XorpTimer object that must be assigned to remain scheduled.
| XorpTimer set_flag_after (const TimeVal& wait,
bool* flag_ptr,
bool to_value = true)
| set_flag_after |
Add a flag setting timer to the EventLoop.
Parameters:
| wait | the relative time when the timer expires. |
| flag_ptr | pointer to a boolean variable that is to be set when the timer expires. |
| to_value | value to set the boolean variable to. Default value is true. |
Returns: a XorpTimer object that must be assigned to remain scheduled.
| XorpTimer set_flag_after_ms (int ms, bool* flag_ptr, bool to_value = true)
| set_flag_after_ms |
Add a flag setting timer to the EventLoop.
Parameters:
| ms | the relative time in millisecond when the timer expires. |
| flag_ptr | pointer to a boolean variable that is set to false when this function is called and will be set to true when the XorpTimer expires. |
| flag_ptr | pointer to a boolean variable that is to be set when the timer expires. |
| to_value | value to set the boolean variable to. Default value is true. |
Returns: a XorpTimer object that must be assigned to remain scheduled.
| XorpTimer new_timer (const BasicTimerCallback& cb)
| new_timer |
Create a custom timer associated with the EventLoop.
The XorpTimer object created needs to be explicitly scheduled with the available XorpTimer methods.

| new_task |
Create a new repeated task to be scheduled with the timers and file handlers.

| bool add_ioevent_cb (XorpFd fd, IoEventType type, const IoEventCb& cb,
int priority = XorpTask::PRIORITY_DEFAULT)
| add_ioevent_cb |
Add a file descriptor and callback to be invoked when descriptor is ready for input or output. An IoEventType determines what type of I/O event will cause the callback to be invoked.
Only one callback may be associated with each event type, e.g. one callback for read pending, one callback for write pending.
If multiple event types in are associated with the same callback, the callback is only invoked once, but the mask argument passed to the callback shows multiple event types.
Parameters:
| fd | the file descriptor. |
| type | the IoEventType of the event. |
| cb | object to be invoked when file descriptor has I/O pending. |
Returns: true on success, false if any error occurred.

| remove_ioevent_cb |
Remove callbacks associated with file descriptor.
Parameters:
| fd | the file descriptor. |
| type | the event type to clear. The special value IOT_ANY means clear any kind of callback. |
