[Freeswitch-users] freeswitch.EventConsumer, can be utilized event-based

[Anthony Minessale]

Sort of silly?,

I am not sure what you are talking about.
I
t's called *event*Consumer right? what do you mean by event based?

There is no need to create a session?

con = freeswitch.EventConsumer("all");

now you have a consumer obj

every time you call con:pop() with no arg you will either get an event or
nil when there are no events to consume.
every time you call con:pop(1) the consumer object will block until there is
an event.

So you use the first way in conjunction with some other lock to do async or
the 2nd way you do a dedicated blocking loop.

I don't know what you said in #lua but, umm duhhhh I think we have an event
driven programming under control.....
We have a dedicated eventing engine in the core with scaling backend
dispatcher threads that can handle hundereds of thousand
of events at a time.

There is also Event Socket (the word *event* again) that can connect to tcp
and listen for *events*

you can also write your code in C with the trivial module API that allows
you to bind to an event internally and pretty much do whatever you want.
