(** Main loop and event queue *)
(** This module controls the ``main-loop'' of Lwt. *)
val run : 'a Lwt.t -> 'a
(** [run t] calls the Lwt scheduler repeatedly until [t] terminates,
then returns the value returned by the thread. It [t] fails with
an exception, this exception is raised.
Note that you should avoid using [run] inside threads
- The calling threads will not resume before [run]
returns.
- Successive invocations of [run] are serialized: an
invocation of [run] will not terminate before all
subsequent invocations are terminated.
Note also that it is not safe to call [run] in a function
registered with [Pervasives.at_exit], use the {!at_exit}
function of this module instead. *)
val yield : unit -> unit Lwt.t
(** [yield ()] is a threads which suspends itself and then resumes
as soon as possible and terminates. *)
val enter_iter_hooks : (unit -> unit) Lwt_sequence.t
(** Functions that are called before the main iteration. *)
val leave_iter_hooks : (unit -> unit) Lwt_sequence.t
(** Functions that are called after the main iteration. *)
val exit_hooks : (unit -> unit Lwt.t) Lwt_sequence.t
(** Sets of functions executed just before the program exit.
Notes:
- each hook is called exactly one time
- exceptions raised by hooks are ignored *)
val at_exit : (unit -> unit Lwt.t) -> unit
(** [at_exit hook] adds hook at the left of [exit_hooks]*)
