It starts a timer that will * tick (expire) every 1 second, and then setup other timers that will expire * only once, but each of them will affect the first timer still executing with * a different API, to demonstrate its usage. To see the full code for this * example, click @ref ecore_timer_example.c "here". * * To demonstrate this, let's define some constants that will determine at which * time each timer will expire: * * @until INTERVAL1 * * These constants should tell by themselves what will be the behavior of the * program, but I'll explain it anyway. The first timer is set to tick every 1 * second, but all the other timers until the 6th one will be started * concurrently at the beginning of the program. Each of them will expire at the * specified time in these constants: * * @li The timer2, after 3 seconds of the program being executed, will add a delay * of 3 seconds to timer1; * @li The timer3 will pause timer1 at 8.2 seconds; * @li timer4 will resume timer1 at 11.0 seconds; * @li timer5 will will change the interval of timer1 to 2 seconds; * @li timer6 will stop timer1 and start timer7 and timer8, with 1.1 and 1.2 * seconds of interval, respectively; it also sets the precision to 0.2 seconds; * @li timer7 and timer8 will just print their expiration time. * * @until ecore_time_get * @until } * * As almost all the other examples, we create a context structure to pass to * our callbacks, so they can have access to the other timers. We also store the * time of the program start in @c _initial_time, and use the function * @c _get_current_time to retrieve the current time relative to that time. This * will help demonstrate what is going on. * * Now, the behavior and relationship between the timers that was described * above is dictated by the following timer callbacks: * * @until _timer6_cb * @until } * * It's possible to see the same behavior as other Ecore callbacks here, * returning @ref ECORE_CALLBACK_RENEW when the timer needs to continue ticking, * and @ref ECORE_CALLBACK_CANCEL when it needs to stop its execution. Also * notice that later on our program we are checking for the timers pointers in * the context to see if they are still executing before deleting them, so we * need to set these timer pointers to @c NULL when we are returning @ref * ECORE_CALLBACK_CANCEL. Otherwise the pointer would still be not @c NULL, but * pointing to something that is invalid, since the timer would have already * expired without renewing. * * Now the main code, which will start the timers: * * @until ecore_shutdown * @until } * * This code is very simple. Just after starting the library, it will save the * current time to @c _initial_time, start all timers from 1 to 6, and begin the * main loop. Everything should be running right now, displaying the time which * each timer is expiring, and what it is doing to affect the other timers. * * After returning from the main loop, every timer is checked to see if it's * still alive and, in that case, deleted, before finalizing the library. This * is not really necessary, since ecore_shutdown() will already delete them for * you, but it's good practice if you have other things going on after this * point that could restart the main loop. * */ /** * @page ecore_idler_example_c ecore idle state - Idlers, enterers and exiters * * This example demonstrates how to manage the idle state of the main loop. Once * a program knows that the main loop is going to enter in idle state, it could * start doing some processing until getting out of this state. * * To exemplify this, we also add events and a timer to this program, so we can * see the idle exiter callback being called before processing the event and/or * timer, the event/timer callback being called (processed), then the idle * enterer being called before entering in idle state again. Once in idle, the * main loop keeps calling the idler callback continuously until a new event or * timer is received. * * First, we declare a struct that will be used as context to be passed to * every callback. It's not useful everywhere, since this example is very * simple and doesn't do anything other than printing messages, but using this * context will make it a little bit more real. Our context will be used to * delete the timer, idler, idle enterer and exiter, and the event handler, and * also to count how many times the idler was called. * * Then we start declaring callbacks for the idle enterer, idle exiter and the * idler itself. Idle enterer and exiter callbacks just print a message saying * that they were called, while the idler, in addition to printing a message * too, also sends an event every 10 times that it is called, incrementing the * context count variable. This event will be used to make the main loop exit * the idle state and call the event callback. * * These callbacks return @ref ECORE_CALLBACK_RENEW, since we want them to keep * being called every time the main loop changes to/from idle state. Otherwise, * if we didn't want them to be called again, they should return @ref * ECORE_CALLBACK_CANCEL. * * The next function declared is the event callback @c _event_handler_cb. It * will check if the idler was called more than 100 times already @c * (ctxt->count > 100), and will delete the idler, idle enterer and exiter, the * timer (if it still exists), and request that the main loop stop running. Then * it returns @ref ECORE_CALLBACK_DONE to indicate that the event shouldn't be * handled by any other callback. * * Finally, we add a callback to the timer, that will just print a message when * it is called, and this will happen only once (@ref ECORE_CALLBACK_CANCEL is * being returned). This timer callback is just here to show that the main loop * gets out of idle state when processing timers too. * * The @b main function is simple, just creates a new type of event that we will * use to demonstrate the event handling together with the idle state, adds the * callbacks that we declared so far, fill the context struct, and starts * running the main loop. * * @note We use timer and event callbacks to demonstrate the idle state * changing, but it also happens for file descriptor handlers, pipe handlers, * etc. * * @include ecore_idler_example.c */ /** * @page ecore_job_example_c ecore_job - Queuing tasks * * This example shows how an @ref Ecore_Job can be added, how it can be * deleted, and that they always execute in the added order. * * First, 2 callback functions are declared, one that prints strings passed to * it in the @c data pointer, and another one that quits the main loop. In the * @c main function, 3 jobs are added using the first callback, and another one * is added using the second one. * * Then the second added job is deleted just to demonstrate the usage of * ecore_job_del(), and the main loop is finally started.

The example will * start the main loop and quit it when it receives the ECORE_EVENT_SIGNAL_EXIT * event. This event is triggered by a SIGTERM(pressing ctrl+c). * * So let's start with the function we want called when we receive the event, * instead of just stopping the main loop we'll also print a message, that's * just so it's clear that it got called: * @dontinclude ecore_event_example_01.c * @skip static * @until } * @note We return ECORE_CALLBACK_DONE because we don't want any other handlers * for this event to be called, the program is quitting after all. * * We then have our main function and the obligatory initialization of ecore: * @until ecore_init * * We then get to the one line of our example that makes everything work, the * registering of the callback: * @until handler_add * @note The @c NULL there is because there is no need to pass data to the * callback. * * And the all that is left to do is start the main loop: * @until } * * Full source code for this example: @ref ecore_event_example_01.c. */ /** * @page ecore_event_example_02_c ecore events and handlers - Setup and use * This example shows how to create a new type of event, setup some event * handlers to it, fire the event and have the callbacks called. After * finishing, we delete the event handlers so no memory will leak. * * See the full source code for this example @ref ecore_event_example_02.c * "here". * * Let's start the example from the beginning: * * @dontinclude ecore_event_example_02.c * @until _event_type * * First thing is to declare a struct that will be passed as context to the * event handlers. In this structure we will store the event handler pointers, * and two strings that will be used by the first event handler. We also will * use a global integer to store the event type used for our event. It is * initialized with 0 in the beginning because the event wasn't created yet. * Later, in the main function we will use ecore_event_type_new() to associate * another value to it. Now the event handler callbacks: * * @until } * * This is the first event handler callback. It prints the event data received * by the event, and the data passed to this handler when it was added. Notice * that this callback already knows that the event data is an integer pointer, * and that the handler data is a string. It knows about the first one because * this is based on the type of event that is going to be handled, and the * second because it was passed to the ecore_event_handler_add() function when * registering the event handler. * * Another interesting point about this callback is that it returns @ref * ECORE_CALLBACK_DONE (0) if the event data is even, swallowing the event and * don't allowing any other callback to be called after this one for this event. * Otherwise it returns @ref ECORE_CALLBACK_PASS_ON, allowing the event to be * handled by other event handlers registered for this event. This makes the * second event handler be called just for "odd" events. * * @until ECORE_CALLBACK_DONE * @until } * * The second event handler will check if the event data is equal to 5, and if * that's the case, it will change the event handler data of the first event * handler to another string. Then it checks if the event data is higher than * 10, and if so, it will request the main loop to quit. * * An interesting point of this example is that although the second event * handler requests the main loop to finish after the 11th event being received, * it will process all the events that were already fired, and call their * respective event handlers, before the main loop stops. If we didn't want * these event handlers to be called after the 11th event, we would need to * unregister them with ecore_event_handler_del() at this point. * * Now some basic initialization of the context, and the Ecore library itself: * * @until type_new * * This last line is interesting. It creates a new type of event and returns a * unique ID for this event inside Ecore. This ID can be used anywhere else in * your program to reference this specific type of event, and to add callbacks * to it. * * It's common if you are implementing a library that declares new types of * events to export their respective types as extern in the header files. This * way, when the library is initialized and the new type is created, it will be * available through the header file to an application using it add some * callbacks to it. Since our example is self-contained, we are just putting it * as a global variable. * * Now we add some callbacks: * * @until ctxt); * * This is very simple. Just need to call ecore_event_handler_add() with the * respective event type, the callback function to be called, and a data pointer * that will be passed to the callback when it is called by the event. * * Then we start firing events: * * @until } * * This @c for will fire 16 events of this type. Notice that the events will be * fired consecutively, but any callback will be called yet. They are just * called by the main loop, and since it wasn't even started, nothing happens * yet. For each event fired, we allocate an integer that will hold the number * of the event (we are arbitrarily creating these numbers just for * demonstration purposes). It's up to the event creator to decide which type of * information it wants to give to the event handler, and the event handler must * know what is the event info structure for that type of event. * * Since we are not allocating any complex structure, just a simple integer, we * don't need to pass any special free function to ecore_event_add(), and it * will use a simple @c free on our data. That's the default behavior. * * Now finishing our example: * * @until } * * We just start the main loop and watch things happen, waiting to shutdown * Ecore when the main loop exits and return. */ /** * @page ecore_fd_handler_example_c ecore fd handlers - Monitoring file descriptors * @dontinclude ecore_fd_handler_example.c * * This is a very simple example where we will start monitoring the stdin of the * program and, whenever there's something to be read, we call our callback that * will read it. * * Check the full code for this example @ref ecore_fd_handler_example.c "here". * * This seems to be stupid, since a similar result could be achieved by the * following code: * * @code * while (nbytes = read(STDIN_FILENO, buf, sizeof(buf))) * { * buf[nbytes - 1] = '\0'; * printf("Read %zd bytes from input: \"%s\"\n", nbytes - 1, buf); * } * @endcode * * However, the above code is blocking, and won't allow you to do anything else * other than reading the input. Of course there are other methods to do a * non-blocking reading, like setting the file descriptor to non-blocking and * keep looping always checking if there's something to be read, and do other * things otherwise. Or use a @c select call to watch for more than one file * descriptor at the same time. * * The advantage of using an @ref Ecore_Fd_Handler is that you can monitor a * file descriptor, while still iterating on the Ecore main loop. It will allow * you to have timers working and expiring, events still being processed when * received, idlers doing its work when there's nothing happening, and whenever * there's something to be read from the file descriptor, your callback will be * called. And it's everything monitored in the same main loop, no threads are * needed, thus reducing the complexity of the program and any overhead caused * by the use of threads. * * Now let's start our program. First we just declare a context structure that * will be passed to our callback, with pointers to our handler and to a timer * that will be used later: * * @until }; * * Then we will declare a prepare_callback that is called before any fd_handler * set in the program, and before the main loop select function is called. Just * use one if you really know that you need it. We are just putting it here to * exemplify its usage: * * @until } * * Now, our fd handler. In its arguments, the @c data pointer will have any data * passed to it when it was registered, and the @c handler pointer will contain * the fd handler returned by the ecore_main_fd_handler_add() call. It can be * used, for example, to retrieve which file descriptor triggered this callback, * since it could be added to more than one file descriptor, or to check what * type of activity there's in the file descriptor. * * The code is very simple: we first check if the type of activity was an error. * It probably won't happen with the default input, but could be the case of a * network socket detecting a disconnection. Next, we get the file descriptor * from this handler (as said before, the callback could be added to more than * one file descriptor), and read it since we know that it shouldn't block, * because our fd handler told us that there's some activity on it. If the * result of the read was 0 bytes, we know that it's an end of file (EOF), so we * can finish reading the input. Otherwise we just print the content read from * it: * * @until } * * Also notice that this callback returns @ref ECORE_CALLBACK_RENEW to keep * being called, as almost all other Ecore callbacks, otherwise if it returns * @ref ECORE_CALLBACK_CANCEL then the file handler would be deleted. * * Just to demonstrate that our program isn't blocking in the input read but * still can process other Ecore events, we are going to setup an @ref * Ecore_Timer. This is its callback: * * @until } * * Now in the main code we are going to initialize the library, and setup * callbacks for the file descriptor, the prepare callback, and the timer: * * @until timer_add * * Notice that the use of ecore_main_fd_handler_add() specifies what kind of * activity we are monitoring. In this case, we want to monitor for read (since * it's the standard input) and for errors. This is done by the flags @ref * ECORE_FD_READ and @ref ECORE_FD_ERROR. For the three callbacks we are also * giving a pointer to our context structure, which has pointers to the handlers * added. * * Then we can start the main loop and see everything happening: * * @until } * * In the end we are just deleting the fd handler and the timer to demonstrate * the API usage, since Ecore would already do it for us on its shutdown. */ /** * @page ecore_poller_example_c ecore poller - Repetitive polling tasks * @dontinclude ecore_poller_example.c * * This example shows how to setup, and explains how an @ref Ecore_Poller is * called. You can @ref ecore_poller_example.c "see the full source code here". * * In this example we store the initial time of the program just to use as * comparison to the time when the poller callbacks are called. It will be * stored in @c _initial_time : * * @until initial_time * * Then next step is to define the poller callback. This callback assumes that a * @c data pointer is passed to it on creation, and is a string just used to * identify the poller. The callback prints this string and the time since the * program started, and returns @ref ECORE_CALLBACK_RENEW to keep being called. * * @until } * * Now in the main function we initialize Ecore, and save the initial time of * the program, so we can compare it later with the time that the pollers are * being called: * * @until initial_time * * Then we change the poll interval to 0.3 seconds (the default is 0.125 * seconds) just to show the API usage. * * Finally, we create two pollers, one that will be called every 4 ticks, and * another one that will be called every 8 ticks. This means the the first * poller interval will be around 1.2 seconds, and the second one will be * around 2.4 seconds. But the most important point is: since the second poller * interval is a multiple of the first one, they will be always synchronized. * Ecore calls pollers that are in the "same tick" together. It doesn't go back * to the main loop and check if there's another poller to execute at this * time, but instead it calls all the pollers registered to this "tick" at the * same time. See the description of ecore_poller_add() for more details. This * is easy to see in the time printed by both of them. * * If instead of two synchronized pollers, we were using two different timers, * one with interval of 1.2 seconds and another one with an interval of 2.4 * seconds, there would be no guarantee that they would be totally in sync. Some * delay in the execution of another task, or even in the task called in the * callback, could make them get out of sync, forcing Ecore's main loop to wake * up more than necessary. * * Well, this is the code that create these two pollers and set the poll * interval, then starts the main loop: * * @until ecore_main_loop_begin * * If you hit CTRL-C during the execution of the program, the main loop will * quit, since there are some signal handlers already set by default to do this. * So after the main loop begin call, we change the second poller's interval to * 16 ticks, so it will happen each 4.8 seconds (or each 4 times that the first * poller is called). * * This means: the program is started, the first poller is called each 4 ticks * and the second is called each 8 ticks. After CTRL-C is used, the second * poller will be called each 16 ticks. * * @until } * * The rest of the program is just deleting the pollers and shutting down the * library. */ /** * @page ecore_con_lookup_example_c Ecore_Con - DNS lookup * * This is a very simple example that shows how to make a simple DNS lookup * using ecore_con_lookup(). * * It's possible to see in the beginning of the main function that we are using * the arguments passed via command line.

To avoid it to be overloaded with too many connections to handle, we * are going to set a maximum of 3 clients connected at the same time. This * number is used just to demonstrate the API. A good number to be used here * would need to be determined by tests done on the server, to check the load * supported by it. * * Any other client trying to connect to this server, after the limit is * reached, will wait until one of the connected clients disconnect and the * server accepts the new connection. * * Another important thing to do is setting a timeout, to avoid that a client * hold a connection for too long without doing anything. This timeout will * disconnect the idle client, allowing that other clients that may be waiting * to connect finally can do it. * * Then we just start the main loop: * * @until main_loop_begin * * After exiting the main loop, we print the list of connected clients, and also * free the data associated with each respective client. This data was * previously associated using ecore_con_client_data_set(): * * @until } * * Then before exiting we show the total uptime of the server: * * @until uptime * * Now let's go back to the used callbacks. * * The first callback, @c _add, is registered to the event * #ECORE_CON_EVENT_CLIENT_ADD, which will be called whenever a client connects * to the server. * * This callback will associate a data structure to this client, that will be * used to count how many bytes were received from it. It also prints some info * about the client, and send a welcome string to it. ecore_con_client_flush() * is used to ensure that the string is sent immediately, instead of being * buffered. * * A timeout for idle specific for this client is also set, to demonstrate that * it is independent of the general timeout of the server. * * Before exiting, the callback will display a list of all clients still * connected to this server. The code for this callback follows: * * @dontinclude ecore_con_server_simple_example.c * @skip Eina_Bool * @until CALLBACK_RENEW * @until } * * The second callback is @c _del. It is associated with * #ECORE_CON_EVENT_CLIENT_DEL, and is called whenever a client disconnects from * this server. * * It will just print some information about the client, free the associated * data structure, and call ecore_con_client_del() on it before exiting the * callback. Here's its code: * * @until CALLBACK_RENEW * @until } * * The last callback will print any data received by this server from its * clients. It also increments the "bytes received" counter, sdata, in the * data structure associated with this client. The callback code follows: * * @until CALLBACK_RENEW * @until } * * The important parts of this example were described above. If you need to see * the full source code for it, there's a link to the code in the beginning of * this page. * * This example will start a server and start accepting connections from clients, as * demonstrated in the following diagram: * * @image rtf ecore_con-client-server-example.png * @image html ecore_con-client-server-example.png * @image latex ecore_con-client-server-example.eps width=\textwidth * * @note This example contains a serious security flaw: it doesn't check for the * size of data being received, thus allowing to the string to be exploited in * some way.

If the data doesn't exist in the * thread's storage, we create it and save it there for future jobs to find * it. If creation fails, we cancel ourselves, so the main loop knows that * we didn't just exit normally, meaning the job could not be done.

So when the child wants to receive or send * data to the father, just use the stdin/stdout. * However the steps to send data from the father to the child is quite * different, but we will get there. * * The child will register a fd handler to monitor the stdin. * So we start registering the ecore FD handler: * @dontinclude ecore_exe_example_child.c * @skip ecore_main_fd_handler_add * @until ; * * If you don't remember the parameters of @ref ecore_main_fd_handler_add, * please check its documentation. * * Now that we have our handler registered we will start the ecore's main loop: * @skipline ecore_main_loop_begin * * Now let's take a look in the callback function. Its a simple function * that will read from stdin 3 times and at the third time will say * to the father: "quit". * @dontinclude ecore_exe_example_child.c * @skip static Eina_Bool * @until } * @until } * @until } * @until } * * You may notice that we are sending the messages to stdout, and our father * will receive it. Also our string must have a "\n" because the string will * be buffered in the pipe until it finds EOF or a "newline" in our case we * won't have a EOF unless we close the pipe, so we use the "\n" char. * * One more thing, we use fflush(stdout) because probably our message won't * fill our entire buffer and the father would never receive the message. So we * use this function to flush the buffer and the father can receive as fast as * possible. * * Now that we have our child ready, let's start our work in the father's source * code. * * We start creating the child process like this: * @dontinclude ecore_exe_example.c * @skip childHandle = ecore_exe_pipe_run * @until ; * * With the command above we are creating our child process, the first * parameter is the command to be executed, the second are the pipe flags and * in our case we will write and read in the pipe so we must say what we are * doing in the pipe. You may notice the flag ECORE_EXE_PIPE_READ_LINE_BUFFERED, * this means that reads are buffered until I find a newline. And the third * parameter is data that we would like to send to the process in its creating. * This case we are sending nothing, so just use NULL. * * Then we check if the process was created: * @skip if * @until } * * After this we get the PID of the child process and just print it in the screen. * The PID stands for Process identification. This is just an internal * identifier of your process: * * @skip childPid * @until fprintf * @until fprintf * * The way that Ecore_exe works is: when we want to read data sent from * our child we must use an ecore event. * So let's start register our event listener: * @skipline ecore_event_handler_add * * Now to send messages to our child we will use a timer, so every 1 second we * will send a message to the child. * @skipline ecore_timer_add * * After all this we start the main loop. Now let's pass to the callback * functions. * * Now we will see how we actually send the data and receive it. * Let's start with _sendMessage: * @dontinclude ecore_exe_example.c * @skip _sendMessage(void *data) * @until } * * We use ecore_exe_send to send data to the child process, it's pretty simple. * To know what the parameters stands for, check the docs. * * @note The function @b ecore_exe_send will never block your program, also * there is no partial send of the data. This means either the function will * send all the data or it will fail. * * Now let's take a look in our event callback and see how we retrieve the * messages. * @dontinclude ecore_exe_example.c * @skip static Eina_Bool * @until } * @until } * * It's just like an normal event, we get a reference to Ecore_Exe_Event_Data, * extract the data and then show it in the screen. * * And that's it, after all it's not complicated to create a process and * communicate with it. * */ /** * @page ecore_imf_example_c ecore_imf - How to handle preedit and commit string from Input Method Framework * * This example demonstrates how to connect input method framework and handle preedit and commit string from input method framework. * * To input Chinese, Japanese, Korean and other complex languages, the editor should be connected with input method framework. * * How to initialize and shutdown ecore imf module * @li ecore_imf_init() should be called to initialize and load immodule. * @li ecore_imf_shutdown() is used for shutdowning and unloading immodule. * * How to create input context and register pre-edit and commit event handler * * Each entry should have each input context to connect with input service framework. * Key event is processed by input method engine. * The result is notified to application through ECORE_IMF_CALLBACK_PREEDIT_CHANGED and ECORE_IMF_CALLBACK_COMMIT event. * * The full example follows. * * @include ecore_imf_example.c */
