See » the libev documentation for details.
This watcher is most useful on BSD systems without working kqueue to still be able to handle a large number of sockets. See example below.
other
Instance of EvLoop . The loop to embed, this loop must be embeddable(see Ev::embeddableBackends() ).
callback
See Watcher callbacks .
data
Custom data associated with the watcher.
priority
Returns EvEmbed object on success.
Example #1 Embedding loop created with kqueue backend into the default loop
<?php
/*
* Check if kqueue is available but not recommended and create a kqueue backend
* for use with sockets (which usually work with any kqueue implementation).
* Store the kqueue/socket-only event loop in loop_socket. (One might optionally
* use EVFLAG_NOENV, too)
*
* Example borrowed from
* http://pod.tst.eu/http://cvs.schmorp.de/libev/ev.pod#Examples_CONTENT-9
