Class Variable _supportedAddressFamilies Undocumented
Instance Variable _childWaker None or a reference to the _SIGCHLDWaker which is used to properly notice child process termination.

Inherited from _SignalReactorMixin (via PosixReactorBase):

Method mainLoop Undocumented
Method run Undocumented
Method startRunning Extend the base implementation in order to remember whether signal handlers should be installed later.
Method _reallyStartRunning Extend the base implementation by also installing signal handlers, if self._installSignalHandlers is true.
Instance Variable _installSignalHandlers A flag which indicates whether any signal handlers will be installed during startup. This includes handlers for SIGCHLD to monitor child processes, and SIGINT, SIGTERM, and SIGBREAK to stop the reactor.

Inherited from _DisconnectSelectableMixin (via PosixReactorBase):

Method _disconnectSelectable Utility function for disconnecting a selectable.

Instance Variable _justStopped A flag which is true between the time reactor.stop is called and the time the shutdown system event is fired. This is used to determine whether that event should be fired after each iteration through the mainloop. This should be replaced with an explicit state machine.

Instance Variable _startedBefore Undocumented
Instance Variable _stopped A flag which is true between paired calls to reactor.run and reactor.stop. This should be replaced with an explicit state machine.
