class _FDWaker(log.Logger): (source)
Known subclasses: twisted.internet._signals._SIGCHLDWaker
, twisted.internet._signals._UnixWaker
Constructor: _FDWaker()
Implements interfaces: twisted.internet.interfaces.IReadDescriptor
The self-pipe trick<http://cr.yp.to/docs/selfpipe.html>, used to wake up the main loop from another thread or a signal handler.
_FDWaker
is a base class for waker implementations based on writing to a pipe being monitored by the reactor.
