NAME

RCU::Event - Event-based RCU operation

SYNOPSIS

   use RCU::Event;

   $rcu = connect RCU::Event "interfac-spec", [initial-context]

DESCRIPTION

This module provides a superset of the standard RCU interface by adding an event-based interface. Basically, you create one or more contexts (See RCU::Context) and bind it to a RCU::Event object. All key events will then be directed to the current context.

$ctx = connect RCU::Event "interface-desc";

Create a new RCU interface. The functionality is the same as RCU, with the functions added below.

$rcu->inject(key)

Act as if key key was pressed (key starts with "=") or released (when key starts with ~). This is rarely used but is useful to "simulate" key presses.

$rcu->set_context(new_context)

Leave the current context (if any) and enter the new_context, to which all new events are directed to.

$rcu->push_context(new_context)

Enter the given new_context without leaving the current one.

$rcu->pop_context

Leave the current context and restore the previous context that was saved in push_context.

SEE ALSO

RCU.
