def adoptDatagramPort(self, fileDescriptor, addressFamily, protocol, maxPacketSize=8192): (source)

from twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorSocket

Add an existing listening SOCK_DGRAM socket to the reactor to monitor for read and write readiness.

Parameters
fileDescriptor	A file descriptor associated with a socket which is already bound to an address and marked as listening. The socket must be set non-blocking. Any additional flags (for example, close-on-exec) must also be set by application code. Application code is responsible for closing the file descriptor, which may be done as soon as `adoptDatagramPort` returns.
addressFamily	The address family or domain of the socket. For example, `socket.AF_INET6`.
protocol	A `DatagramProtocol` instance to connect to a UDP transport.
maxPacketSize	The maximum packet size to accept.
Returns
An object providing `IListeningPort`.
Raises
`UnsupportedAddressFamily`	If the given address family is not supported by this reactor, or not supported with the given socket type.
`UnsupportedSocketType`	If the given socket type is not supported by this reactor, or not supported with the given socket type.

def adoptStreamConnection(self, fileDescriptor, addressFamily, factory): (source)

from twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorSocket

See Also
`twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorSocket.adoptStreamConnection`

def adoptStreamPort(self, fileDescriptor, addressFamily, factory): (source)

from twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorSocket

Create a new IListeningPort from an already-initialized socket.

This just dispatches to a suitable port implementation (eg from IReactorTCP, etc) based on the specified addressFamily.

`twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorSocket.adoptStreamPort`

def connectSSL(self, host, port, factory, contextFactory, timeout=30, bindAddress=None): (source)

from twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorSSL

Connect a client Protocol to a remote SSL socket.

Parameters
host	a host name
port	a port number
factory	a `twisted.internet.protocol.ClientFactory` instance
contextFactory	a `twisted.internet.ssl.ClientContextFactory` object.
timeout	number of seconds to wait before assuming the connection has failed.
bindAddress	a (host, port) tuple of local address to bind to, or `None`.
Returns
An object which provides `IConnector`.

def connectTCP(self, host, port, factory, timeout=30, bindAddress=None): (source)

from twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorTCP

Connect a TCP client.

Parameters
host	A hostname or an IPv4 or IPv6 address literal.
port	a port number

timeout	number of seconds to wait before assuming the connection has failed.
bindAddress	a (host, port) tuple of local address to bind to, or None.
Returns
An object which provides `IConnector`. This connector will call various callbacks on the factory when a connection is made, failed, or lost - see `ClientFactory` docs for details.

def connectUNIX(self, address, factory, timeout=30, checkPID=0): (source)

from twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorUNIX

Connect a client protocol to a UNIX socket.

Parameters
address	a path to a unix socket on the filesystem.
factory	a `twisted.internet.protocol.ClientFactory` instance
timeout	number of seconds to wait before assuming the connection has failed.
checkPID	if True, check for a pid file to verify that a server is listening. If `address` is a Linux abstract namespace path, this must be `False`.

def installWaker(self): (source)

overrides twisted.internet.base.ReactorBase.installWaker

overridden in twisted.internet.cfreactor.CFReactor

Install a `waker' to allow threads and signals to wake up the IO thread.

We use the self-pipe trick (http://cr.yp.to/docs/selfpipe.html) to wake the reactor. On Windows we use a pair of sockets.

def listenMulticast(self, port, protocol, interface='', maxPacketSize=8192, listenMultiple=False): (source)

from twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorMulticast

Connects a given DatagramProtocol to the given numeric UDP port.

Parameters
port	a port number on which to listen
factory	a `twisted.internet.protocol.ServerFactory` instance
contextFactory	an implementor of `IOpenSSLContextFactory`
backlog	size of the listen queue
interface	the hostname to bind to, defaults to '' (all)

def listenTCP(self, port, factory, backlog=50, interface=''): (source)

from twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorTCP

Connects a given protocol factory to the given numeric TCP/IP port.

Parameters
port	a port number on which to listen
factory	a `twisted.internet.protocol.ServerFactory` instance
backlog	size of the listen queue
interface	The local IPv4 or IPv6 address to which to bind; defaults to '', ie all IPv4 addresses. To bind to all IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, you must call this method twice.
Returns
an object that provides `IListeningPort`.
Raises
`CannotListenError`	as defined here `twisted.internet.error.CannotListenError`, if it cannot listen on this port (e.g., it cannot bind to the required port number)

def listenUDP(self, port, protocol, interface='', maxPacketSize=8192): (source)

from twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorUDP

Connects a given DatagramProtocol to the given numeric UDP port.

Returns
object conforming to `IListeningPort`.

def listenUNIX(self, address, factory, backlog=50, mode=438, wantPID=0): (source)

from twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorUNIX

Listen on a UNIX socket.

Parameters
address	a path to a unix socket on the filesystem.
factory	a `twisted.internet.protocol.Factory` instance.
backlog	number of connections to allow in backlog.
mode	The mode (not umask) to set on the unix socket. See platform specific documentation for information about how this might affect connection attempts.
wantPID	if True, create a pidfile for the socket. If `address` is a Linux abstract namespace path, this must be `False`.

EXPERIMENTAL.

Returns
object conforming to `IListeningPort`.

def spawnProcess(self, processProtocol, executable, args=(), env={}, path=None, uid=None, gid=None, usePTY=0, childFDs=None): (source)

from twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorProcess

Spawn a process, with a process protocol.

Arguments given to this function that are listed as bytes or unicode may be encoded or decoded depending on the platform and the argument type given. On UNIX systems (Linux, FreeBSD, macOS) and Python 2 on Windows, unicode arguments will be encoded down to bytes using the encoding given by sys.getfilesystemencoding, to be used with the "narrow" OS APIs. On Python 3 on Windows, bytes arguments will be decoded up to unicode using the encoding given by sys.getfilesystemencoding (mbcs before Python 3.6, utf8 thereafter) and given to Windows's native "wide" APIs.

Parameters
processProtocol	An object which will be notified of all events related to the created process.
executable	the file name to spawn - the full path should be used.
args	the command line arguments to pass to the process; a sequence of strings. The first string should be the executable's name.
env	the environment variables to pass to the child process. The resulting behavior varies between platforms. If: `env` is not set: On POSIX: pass an empty environment. On Windows: pass `os.environ`. `env` is `None`: On POSIX: pass `os.environ`. On Windows: pass `os.environ`. `env` is a `dict`: On POSIX: pass the key/value pairs in `env` as the complete environment. On Windows: update `os.environ` with the key/value pairs in the `dict` before passing it. As a consequence of bug #1640, passing keys with empty values in an effort to unset environment variables won't unset them.
path	the path to run the subprocess in - defaults to the current directory.
uid	user ID to run the subprocess as. (Only available on POSIX systems.)
gid	group ID to run the subprocess as. (Only available on POSIX systems.)
usePTY	if true, run this process in a pseudo-terminal. optionally a tuple of `(masterfd, slavefd, ttyname)`, in which case use those file descriptors. (Not available on all systems.)
childFDs	A dictionary mapping file descriptors in the new child process to an integer or to the string 'r' or 'w'. If the value is an integer, it specifies a file descriptor in the parent process which will be mapped to a file descriptor (specified by the key) in the child process. This is useful for things like inetd and shell-like file redirection. If it is the string 'r', a pipe will be created and attached to the child at that file descriptor: the child will be able to write to that file descriptor and the parent will receive read notification via the `IProcessProtocol.childDataReceived` callback. This is useful for the child's stdout and stderr. If it is the string 'w', similar setup to the previous case will occur, with the pipe being readable by the child instead of writeable. The parent process can write to that file descriptor using `IProcessTransport.writeToChild`. This is useful for the child's stdin. If childFDs is not passed, the default behaviour is to use a mapping that opens the usual stdin/stdout/stderr pipes.
Returns
An object which provides `IProcessTransport`.
Raises
`OSError`	Raised with errno `EAGAIN` or `ENOMEM` if there are insufficient system resources to create a new process.

waker = (source)

overrides twisted.internet.base.ReactorBase.waker

overridden in twisted.internet.cfreactor.CFReactor

Undocumented

def _handleSignals(self): (source)

overrides twisted.internet.base._SignalReactorMixin._handleSignals

overridden in twisted.internet._glibbase.GlibReactorBase

Extend the basic signal handling logic to also support handling SIGCHLD to know when to try to reap child processes.

def _removeAll(self, readers, writers): (source)

Remove all readers and writers, and list of removed IReadDescriptors and IWriteDescriptors.

Meant for calling from subclasses, to implement removeAll, like:

  def removeAll(self):
      return self._removeAll(self._reads, self._writes)

where self._reads and self._writes are iterables.

def _uninstallHandler(self): (source)

overrides twisted.internet.base.ReactorBase._uninstallHandler

If a child waker was created and installed, uninstall it now.

Since this disables reactor functionality and is only called when the reactor is stopping, it doesn't provide any directly useful functionality, but the cleanup of reactor-related process-global state that it does helps in unit tests involving multiple reactors and is generally just a nice thing.

_supportedAddressFamilies = (source)

Undocumented

_childWaker = (source)

None or a reference to the _SIGCHLDWaker which is used to properly notice child process termination.
