# TibrvIOEvent

Class

## Declaration

    class TibrvIOEvent : public TibrvEvent
        TibrvI0Event();             // Create empty.
        virtual ~TibrvI0Event();    // Destroy and reclaim storage.

## Purpose

I/O event.

## Remarks

The constructor creates a hollow object; TibrvIOEvent::create() makes it operational.

The destructor calls the `destroy` method, unless the C object is already destroyed.

Destroying the queue of an I/O event automatically destroys the I/O event as well.

## Activation and Dispatch

The method TibrvIOEvent::create() creates an event object that describes an I/O situation, and activates the event—that is, it requests notification from the operating system when that I/O situation occurs. When the situation occurs, Rendezvous software deactivates the event, and places the event object on its event queue. Dispatch removes the event object from the queue, and runs the callback method to process the event. When the callback method returns, Rendezvous software automatically reactivates the event. (To stop the cycle, destroy the event object; see TibrvEvent::destroy().)

I/O Event Activation and Dispatch illustrates that Rendezvous software temporarily deactivates the I/O event from the time it enters the queue until its callback method returns. Consequently, an I/O object can cause at most one event at a time.

## Semantics of I/O Events

The semantics of all I/O conditions depend on the underlying operating system and event manager. Rendezvous software does not change those semantics.

I/O events trigger when the operating system reports that an I/O condition on a monitored socket would succeed (that is, transfer at least one byte without blocking). Nonetheless, Rendezvous software cannot guarantee that a subsequent I/O call will not block.

Method | Description
TibrvIOEvent::create() | Wait for specified I/O situations to occur.
TibrvIOEvent::getIOSource() | Extract the source (socket ID) from an I/O event object.
TibrvIOEvent::getIOType() | Extract the I/O type from an I/O event object.
