DESCRIPTION
flux_prepare_watcher_create(), flux_check_watcher_create(), and
flux_idle_watcher_create() create specialized reactor watchers with
the following properties:
The prepare watcher is called by the reactor loop immediately before blocking, while the check watcher is called by the reactor loop immediately after blocking.
The idle watcher is always run when no other events are pending, excluding other idle watchers, prepare and check watchers. While it is active, the reactor loop does not block waiting for new events.
The callback revents argument should be ignored.
Note: the Flux reactor is based on libev. For additional information
on the behavior of these watchers, refer to the libev documentation on
ev_idle, ev_prepare, and ev_check.
RETURN VALUE
These functions return a flux_watcher_t object on success.
On error, NULL is returned, and errno is set appropriately.
ERRORS
- ENOMEM
Out of memory.
