Ev::nowUpdate

(PECL ev >= 0.2.0)

Ev::nowUpdate — Establishes the current time by querying the kernel, updating the time returned by Ev::now in the progress

Description

final public static function Ev::nowUpdate(): void

Establishes the current time by querying the kernel, updating the time returned by Ev::now() in the progress. This is a costly operation and is usually done automatically within Ev::run().

This method is rarely useful, but when some event callback runs for a very long time without entering the event loop, updating libev 's consideration of the current time is a good idea.

Parameters

This function has no parameters.

Return Values

No value is returned.
