##! Implements a generic way to poll connections looking for certain features
##! (e.g. monitor bytes transferred). The specific feature of a connection
##! to look for, the polling interval, and the code to execute if the feature
##! is found are all controlled by user-defined callback functions.
module ConnPolling;
export {
## Starts monitoring a given connection.
##
## c: The connection to watch.
##
## callback: A callback function that takes as arguments the monitored
## *connection*, and counter *cnt* that increments each time
## the callback is called. It returns an interval indicating
## how long in the future to schedule an event which will call
## the callback. A negative return interval causes polling
## to stop.
##
## cnt: The initial value of a counter which gets passed to *callback*.
##
## i: The initial interval at which to schedule the next callback.
## May be ``0secs`` to poll right away.
