-# == Introduction
-# EventMachine provides a fast, lightweight framework for implementing
-# Ruby programs that can use the network to communicate with other
-# processes. Using EventMachine, Ruby programmers can easily connect
-# to remote servers and act as servers themselves. EventMachine does not
-# supplant the Ruby IP libraries. It does provide an alternate technique
-# for those applications requiring better performance, scalability,
-# and discipline over the behavior of network sockets, than is easily
-# obtainable using the built-in libraries, especially in applications
-# which are structurally well-suited for the event-driven programming model.
-#
-# EventMachine provides a perpetual event-loop which your programs can
-# start and stop. Within the event loop, TCP network connections are
-# initiated and accepted, based on EventMachine methods called by your
-# program. You also define callback methods which are called by EventMachine
-# when events of interest occur within the event-loop.
-#
-# User programs will be called back when the following events occur:
-# * When the event loop accepts network connections from remote peers
-# * When data is received from network connections
-# * When connections are closed, either by the local or the remote side
-# * When user-defined timers expire
-#
-# == Usage example
-#
-# Here's a fully-functional echo server implemented in EventMachine:
-#
-#  require 'eventmachine'
-#
-#  module EchoServer
-#    def post_init
-#      puts "-- someone connected to the echo server!"
-#    end
-#
-#    def receive_data data
-#      send_data ">>>you sent: #{data}"
-#      close_connection if data =~ /quit/i
-#    end
-#
-#    def unbind
-#      puts "-- someone disconnected from the echo server!"
-#    end
-#  end
-#
-#  EventMachine::run {
-#    EventMachine::start_server "127.0.0.1", 8081, EchoServer
-#  }
-#
-# What's going on here? Well, we have defined the module EchoServer to
-# implement the semantics of the echo protocol (more about that shortly).
-# The last three lines invoke the event-machine itself, which runs forever
-# unless one of your callbacks terminates it. The block that you supply
-# to EventMachine::run contains code that runs immediately after the event
-# machine is initialized and before it starts looping. This is the place
-# to open up a TCP server by specifying the address and port it will listen
-# on, together with the module that will process the data.
-# 
-# Our EchoServer is extremely simple as the echo protocol doesn't require
-# much work. Basically you want to send back to the remote peer whatever
-# data it sends you. We'll dress it up with a little extra text to make it
-# interesting. Also, we'll close the connection in case the received data
-# contains the word "quit."
-# 
-# So what about this module EchoServer? Well, whenever a network connection
-# (either a client or a server) starts up, EventMachine instantiates an anonymous
-# class, that your module has been mixed into. Exactly one of these class
-# instances is created for each connection. Whenever an event occurs on a
-# given connection, its corresponding object automatically calls specific
-# instance methods which your module may redefine. The code in your module
-# always runs in the context of a class instance, so you can create instance
-# variables as you wish and they will be carried over to other callbacks
-# made on that same connection.
-# 
-# Looking back up at EchoServer, you can see that we've defined the method
-# receive_data which (big surprise) is called whenever data has been received
-# from the remote end of the connection. Very simple. We get the data
-# (a String object) and can do whatever we wish with it. In this case,
-# we use the method send_data to return the received data to the caller,
-# with some extra text added in. And if the user sends the word "quit,"
-# we'll close the connection with (naturally) close_connection.
-# (Notice that closing the connection doesn't terminate the processing loop,
-# or change the fact that your echo server is still accepting connections!) 
-#
-# == Questions and Futures
-# Would it be useful for EventMachine to incorporate the Observer pattern
-# and make use of the corresponding Ruby <tt>observer</tt> package?
-# Interesting thought.
-#
-module EventMachine
-  class <<self
-    # Exposed to allow joining on the thread, when run in a multithreaded
-    # environment. Performing other actions on the thread has undefined
-    # semantics.

-
-  # EventMachine::run initializes and runs an event loop.
-  # This method only returns if user-callback code calls stop_event_loop.
-  # Use the supplied block to define your clients and servers.
-  # The block is called by EventMachine::run immediately after initializing
-  # its internal event loop but <i>before</i> running the loop.
-  # Therefore this block is the right place to call start_server if you
-  # want to accept connections from remote clients.
-  #
-  # For programs that are structured as servers, it's usually appropriate
-  # to start an event loop by calling EventMachine::run, and let it
-  # run forever. It's also possible to use EventMachine::run to make a single
-  # client-connection to a remote server, process the data flow from that
-  # single connection, and then call stop_event_loop to force EventMachine::run
-  # to return. Your program will then continue from the point immediately
-  # following the call to EventMachine::run.
-  #
-  # You can of course do both client and servers simultaneously in the same program.
-  # One of the strengths of the event-driven programming model is that the
-  # handling of network events on many different connections will be interleaved,
-  # and scheduled according to the actual events themselves. This maximizes
-  # efficiency.

-  # 25Nov06: Added the begin/ensure block. We need to be sure that release_machine

-  # test with two functions, each of which calls EventMachine#run and each of
-  # which throws something inside of #run. Without the ensure, the second test
-  # will start without release_machine being called and will immediately throw
-  # a C++ runtime error.

-  # EventMachine#add_timer adds a one-shot timer to the event loop.
-  # Call it with one or two parameters. The first parameters is a delay-time

-  # present, must be a proc object. If a proc object is not given, then you
-  # can also simply pass a block to the method call.
-  #
-  # EventMachine#add_timer may be called from the block passed to EventMachine#run
-  # or from any callback method. It schedules execution of the proc or block
-  # passed to add_timer, after the passage of an interval of time equal to
-  # <i>at least</i> the number of seconds specified in the first parameter to
-  # the call.
-  #
-  # EventMachine#add_timer is a <i>non-blocking</i> call. Callbacks can and will

-  #
-  # === Usage example
-  #
-  # This example shows how easy timers are to use. Observe that two timers are
-  # initiated simultaneously. Also, notice that the event loop will continue
-  # to run even after the second timer event is processed, since there was
-  # no call to EventMachine#stop_event_loop. There will be no activity, of
-  # course, since no network clients or servers are defined. Stop the program

-  #
-  #  EventMachine::run {

-
-  # EventMachine#add_periodic_timer adds a periodic timer to the event loop.
-  # It takes the same parameters as the one-shot timer method, EventMachine#add_timer.
-  # This method schedules execution of the given block repeatedly, at intervals
-  # of time <i>at least</i> as great as the number of seconds given in the first
-  # parameter to the call.
-  # 
-  # === Usage example
-  #
-  # The following sample program will write a dollar-sign to stderr every five seconds.
-  # (Of course if the program defined network clients and/or servers, they would
-  # be doing their work while the periodic timer is counting off.)
-  #
-  #  EventMachine::run {
-  #    EventMachine::add_periodic_timer( 5 ) { $stderr.write "$" }
-  #  }

-
-
-  # stop_event_loop may called from within a callback method
-  # while EventMachine's processing loop is running.
-  # It causes the processing loop to stop executing, which
-  # will cause all open connections and accepting servers
-  # to be run down and closed. <i>Callbacks for connection-termination
-  # will be called</i> as part of the processing of stop_event_loop.
-  # (There currently is no option to panic-stop the loop without
-  # closing connections.) When all of this processing is complete,
-  # the call to EventMachine::run which started the processing loop
-  # will return and program flow will resume from the statement
-  # following EventMachine::run call.
-  #
-  # === Usage example
-  #
-  #  require 'rubygems'
-  #  require 'eventmachine'
-  #
-  #  module Redmond
-  #    def post_init
-  #      puts "We're sending a dumb HTTP request to the remote peer."
-  #      send_data "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: www.microsoft.com\r\n\r\n"
-  #    end
-  #  
-  #    def receive_data data
-  #      puts "We received #{data.length} bytes from the remote peer."
-  #      puts "We're going to stop the event loop now."
-  #      EventMachine::stop_event_loop
-  #    end
-  #  
-  #    def unbind
-  #      puts "A connection has terminated."
-  #    end

-  #  
-  #  puts "We're starting the event loop now."
-  #  EventMachine::run {
-  #    EventMachine::connect "www.microsoft.com", 80, Redmond
-  #  }
-  #  puts "The event loop has stopped."
-  #  
-  # This program will produce approximately the following output:
-  #
-  #  We're starting the event loop now.
-  #  We're sending a dumb HTTP request to the remote peer.
-  #  We received 1440 bytes from the remote peer.
-  #  We're going to stop the event loop now.
-  #  A connection has terminated.
-  #  The event loop has stopped.

-  def self.stop_event_loop
-    EventMachine::stop
-  end
-
-  # EventMachine::start_server initiates a TCP server (socket
-  # acceptor) on the specified IP address and port.
-  # The IP address must be valid on the machine where the program
-  # runs, and the process must be privileged enough to listen
-  # on the specified port (on Unix-like systems, superuser privileges
-  # are usually required to listen on any port lower than 1024).
-  # Only one listener may be running on any given address/port
-  # combination. start_server will fail if the given address and port
-  # are already listening on the machine, either because of a prior call
-  # to start_server or some unrelated process running on the machine.
-  # If start_server succeeds, the new network listener becomes active
-  # immediately and starts accepting connections from remote peers,
-  # and these connections generate callback events that are processed
-  # by the code specified in the handler parameter to start_server.
-  #
-  # The optional handler which is passed to start_server is the key
-  # to EventMachine's ability to handle particular network protocols.
-  # The handler parameter passed to start_server must be a Ruby Module
-  # that you must define. When the network server that is started by
-  # start_server accepts a new connection, it instantiates a new
-  # object of an anonymous class that is inherited from EventMachine::Connection,
-  # <i>into which the methods from your handler have been mixed.</i>
-  # Your handler module may redefine any of the methods in EventMachine::Connection
-  # in order to implement the specific behavior of the network protocol.
-  #
-  # Callbacks invoked in response to network events <i>always</i> take place
-  # within the execution context of the object derived from EventMachine::Connection
-  # extended by your handler module. There is one object per connection, and
-  # all of the callbacks invoked for a particular connection take the form
-  # of instance methods called against the corresponding EventMachine::Connection
-  # object. Therefore, you are free to define whatever instance variables you
-  # wish, in order to contain the per-connection state required by the network protocol you are
-  # implementing.
-  #
-  # start_server is often called inside the block passed to EventMachine::run,
-  # but it can be called from any EventMachine callback. start_server will fail
-  # unless the EventMachine event loop is currently running (which is why
-  # it's often called in the block suppled to EventMachine::run).
-  #
-  # You may call start_server any number of times to start up network
-  # listeners on different address/port combinations. The servers will
-  # all run simultaneously. More interestingly, each individual call to start_server
-  # can specify a different handler module and thus implement a different
-  # network protocol from all the others.
-  #
-  # === Usage example
-  # Here is an example of a server that counts lines of input from the remote
-  # peer and sends back the total number of lines received, after each line.
-  # Try the example with more than one client connection opened via telnet,
-  # and you will see that the line count increments independently on each
-  # of the client connections. Also very important to note, is that the
-  # handler for the receive_data function, which our handler redefines, may
-  # not assume that the data it receives observes any kind of message boundaries.
-  # Also, to use this example, be sure to change the server and port parameters
-  # to the start_server call to values appropriate for your environment.

-  # of the handler Module. All of the details given in that description
-  # apply for connections created with EventMachine#connect.
-  #
-  # === Usage Example
-  #
-  # Here's a program which connects to a web server, sends a naive
-  # request, parses the HTTP header of the response, and then
-  # (antisocially) ends the event loop, which automatically drops the connection
-  # (and incidentally calls the connection's unbind method).
-  # 
-  #  module DumbHttpClient
-  #    def post_init
-  #      send_data "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: _\r\n\r\n"
-  #      @data = ""
-  #      @parsed = false
-  #    end
-  #  
-  #    def receive_data data
-  #      @data << data
-  #      if !@parsed and @data =~ /[\n][\r]*[\n]/m
-  #        @parsed = true
-  #        puts "RECEIVED HTTP HEADER:"
-  #        $`.each {|line| puts ">>> #{line}" }
-  #  
-  #        puts "Now we'll terminate the loop, which will also close the connection"
-  #        EventMachine::stop_event_loop
-  #      end
-  #    end
-  #  
-  #    def unbind
-  #      puts "A connection has terminated"
-  #    end
-  #  end
-  #  
-  #  EventMachine::run {
-  #    EventMachine::connect "www.bayshorenetworks.com", 80, DumbHttpClient
-  #  }
-  #  puts "The event loop has ended"
-  #  
-  #
-  # There are times when it's more convenient to define a protocol handler
-  # as a Class rather than a Module. Here's how to do this:
-  #
-  #  class MyProtocolHandler < EventMachine::Connection
-  #    def initialize *args
-  #      super
-  #      # whatever else you want to do here
-  #    end
-  #    
-  #    #.......your other class code
-  #  end
-  #
-  # If you do this, then an instance of your class will be instantiated to handle
-  # every network connection created by your code or accepted by servers that you
-  # create. If you redefine #post_init in your protocol-handler class, your
-  # #post_init method will be called _inside_ the call to #super that you will
-  # make in your #initialize method (if you provide one).
-  #
-  #--
-  # EventMachine::connect initiates a TCP connection to a remote
-  # server and sets up event-handling for the connection.
-  # It internally creates an object that should not be handled
-  # by the caller. HOWEVER, it's often convenient to get the
-  # object to set up interfacing to other objects in the system.
-  # We return the newly-created anonymous-class object to the caller.
-  # It's expected that a considerable amount of code will depend
-  # on this behavior, so don't change it.
-  #
-  # Ok, added support for a user-defined block, 13Apr06.
-  # This leads us to an interesting choice because of the
-  # presence of the post_init call, which happens in the
-  # initialize method of the new object. We call the user's
-  # block and pass the new object to it. This is a great
-  # way to do protocol-specific initiation. It happens
-  # AFTER post_init has been called on the object, which I
-  # certainly hope is the right choice.
-  # Don't change this lightly, because accepted connections
-  # are different from connected ones and we don't want
-  # to have them behave differently with respect to post_init
-  # if at all possible.

-  # EventMachine#open_datagram_socket is for support of UDP-based
-  # protocols. Its usage is similar to that of EventMachine#start_server.
-  # It takes three parameters: an IP address (which must be valid
-  # on the machine which executes the method), a port number,
-  # and an optional Module name which will handle the data.
-  # This method will create a new UDP (datagram) socket and
-  # bind it to the address and port that you specify.
-  # The normal callbacks (see EventMachine#start_server) will
-  # be called as events of interest occur on the newly-created
-  # socket, but there are some differences in how they behave.
-  #
-  # Connection#receive_data will be called when a datagram packet
-  # is received on the socket, but unlike TCP sockets, the message
-  # boundaries of the received data will be respected. In other words,
-  # if the remote peer sent you a datagram of a particular size,
-  # you may rely on Connection#receive_data to give you the
-  # exact data in the packet, with the original data length.
-  # Also observe that Connection#receive_data may be called with a
-  # <i>zero-length</i> data payload, since empty datagrams are permitted
-  # in UDP.
-  #
-  # Connection#send_data is available with UDP packets as with TCP,
-  # but there is an important difference. Because UDP communications
-  # are <i>connectionless,</i> there is no implicit recipient for the packets you
-  # send. Ordinarily you must specify the recipient for each packet you send.
-  # However, EventMachine
-  # provides for the typical pattern of receiving a UDP datagram
-  # from a remote peer, performing some operation, and then sending
-  # one or more packets in response to the same remote peer.
-  # To support this model easily, just use Connection#send_data
-  # in the code that you supply for Connection:receive_data.
-  # EventMachine will
-  # provide an implicit return address for any messages sent to
-  # Connection#send_data within the context of a Connection#receive_data callback,
-  # and your response will automatically go to the correct remote peer.
-  # (TODO: Example-code needed!)
-  #
-  # Observe that the port number that you supply to EventMachine#open_datagram_socket
-  # may be zero. In this case, EventMachine will create a UDP socket
-  # that is bound to an <i>ephemeral</i> (not well-known) port.
-  # This is not appropriate for servers that must publish a well-known
-  # port to which remote peers may send datagrams. But it can be useful
-  # for clients that send datagrams to other servers.
-  # If you do this, you will receive any responses from the remote
-  # servers through the normal Connection#receive_data callback.
-  # Observe that you will probably have issues with firewalls blocking
-  # the ephemeral port numbers, so this technique is most appropriate for LANs.
-  # (TODO: Need an example!)
-  #
-  # If you wish to send datagrams to arbitrary remote peers (not
-  # necessarily ones that have sent data to which you are responding),
-  # then see Connection#send_datagram.
-  #
-  # DO NOT call send_data from a datagram socket
-  # outside of a #receive_data method. Use #send_datagram. If you do use #send_data
-  # outside of a #receive_data method, you'll get a confusing error
-  # because there is no "peer," as #send_data requires. (Inside of #receive_data,
-  # #send_data "fakes" the peer as described above.)

-  # #defer is for integrating blocking operations into EventMachine's control flow.
-  # Call #defer with one or two blocks, as shown below (the second block is <i>optional</i>):
-  #
-  #  operation = proc {
-  #    # perform a long-running operation here, such as a database query.
-  #    "result" # as usual, the last expression evaluated in the block will be the return value.

-  #  }
-  #
-  #  EventMachine.defer( operation, callback )
-  #
-  # The action of #defer is to take the block specified in the first parameter (the "operation")
-  # and schedule it for asynchronous execution on an internal thread pool maintained by EventMachine.
-  # When the operation completes, it will pass the result computed by the block (if any)
-  # back to the EventMachine reactor. Then, EventMachine calls the block specified in the
-  # second parameter to #defer (the "callback"), as part of its normal, synchronous
-  # event handling loop. The result computed by the operation block is passed as a parameter
-  # to the callback. You may omit the callback parameter if you don't need to execute any code
-  # after the operation completes.
-  #
-  # == Caveats
-  # Note carefully that the code in your deferred operation will be executed on a separate
-  # thread from the main EventMachine processing and all other Ruby threads that may exist in
-  # your program. Also, multiple deferred operations may be running at once! Therefore, you
-  # are responsible for ensuring that your operation code is threadsafe. [Need more explanation
-  # and examples.]
-  # Don't write a deferred operation that will block forever. If so, the current implementation will
-  # not detect the problem, and the thread will never be returned to the pool. EventMachine limits
-  # the number of threads in its pool, so if you do this enough times, your subsequent deferred
-  # operations won't get a chance to run. [We might put in a timer to detect this problem.]

-  # EventMachine's file monitoring API. Currently supported are the following events
-  # on individual files, using inotify on Linux systems, and kqueue for OSX/BSD:
-  #
-  # * File modified (written to)
-  # * File moved/renamed
-  # * File deleted
-  #
-  # EventMachine::watch_file takes a filename and a handler Module containing your custom callback methods.
-  # This will setup the low level monitoring on the specified file, and create a new EventMachine::FileWatch
-  # object with your Module mixed in. FileWatch is a subclass of EM::Connection, so callbacks on this object
-  # work in the familiar way. The callbacks that will be fired by EventMachine are:
-  #
-  # * file_modified
-  # * file_moved
-  # * file_deleted
-  #
-  # You can access the filename being monitored from within this object using FileWatch#path.
-  #
-  # When a file is deleted, FileWatch#stop_watching will be called after your file_deleted callback, 
-  # to clean up the underlying monitoring and remove EventMachine's reference to the now-useless FileWatch.
-  # This will in turn call unbind, if you wish to use it.
-  #
-  # The corresponding system-level Errno will be raised when attempting to monitor non-existent files,
-  # files with wrong permissions, or if an error occurs dealing with inotify/kqueue.

-  # enable_proxy allows for direct writing of incoming data back out to another descriptor, at the C++ level in the reactor.
-  # This is especially useful for proxies where high performance is required. Propogating data from a server response
-  # all the way up to Ruby, and then back down to the reactor to be sent back to the client, is often unnecessary and
-  # incurs a significant performance decrease.
-  #
-  # The two arguments are Connections, 'from' and 'to'. 'from' is the connection whose inbound data you want
-  # relayed back out. 'to' is the connection to write it to.
-  #
-  # Once you call this method, the 'from' connection will no longer get receive_data callbacks from the reactor,
-  # except in the case that 'to' connection has already closed when attempting to write to it. You can see
-  # in the example, that proxy_target_unbound will be called when this occurs. After that, further incoming
-  # data will be passed into receive_data as normal.
-  #
-  # Note also that this feature supports different types of descriptors - TCP, UDP, and pipes. You can relay
