:c:type:`uv_idle_t` --- Idle handle
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
Idle handles will run the given callback once per loop iteration, right
|
|
before the :c:type:`uv_prepare_t` handles.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
The notable difference with prepare handles is that when there are active idle handles,
|
|
the loop will perform a zero timeout poll instead of blocking for i/o.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
Despite the name, idle handles will get their callbacks called on every loop iteration,
|
|
not when the loop is actually "idle".

|
|
|
.. c:function:: int uv_idle_init(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_idle_t* idle)
|
|
|
|
Initialize the handle. This function always succeeds.

|
|
|
:returns: 0
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int uv_idle_start(uv_idle_t* idle, uv_idle_cb cb)
|
|
|
|
Start the handle with the given callback. This function always succeeds,
|
|
except when `cb` is `NULL`.
|
|
|
|
:returns: 0 on success, or `UV_EINVAL` when `cb == NULL`.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int uv_idle_stop(uv_idle_t* idle)
|
|
|
|
Stop the handle, the callback will no longer be called.
|
|
This function always succeeds.
