EvLoop::run

(PECL ev >= 0.2.0)

EvLoop::run — Begin checking for events and calling callbacks for the loop

Description

public EvLoop::run( int $flags = 0 ): void

Begin checking for events and calling callbacks for the current event loop. Returns when a callback calls Ev::stop() method, or the flags are nonzero(in which case the return value is true) or when there are no active watchers which reference the loop( EvWatcher::keepalive() is true), in which case the return value will be false. The return value can generally be interpreted as if true, there is more work left to do.

Parameters
