(PECL eio >= 0.0.1dev)

eio_mknod — Create a special or ordinary file

Description

function eio_mknod(
    string $path,
    int $mode,
    int $dev,
    int $pri = EIO_PRI_DEFAULT,
    callable $callback = NULL,
    mixed $data = NULL
): resource

eio_mknod() creates ordinary or special(often) file.

Warning

This function is currently not documented; only its argument list is available.

Parameters

path

Path for the new node(file).

mode

Specifies both the permissions to use and the type of node to be created. It should be a combination (using bitwise OR) of one of the file types listed below and the permissions for the new node(e.g. 0640). Possible file types are: EIO_S_IFREG(regular file), EIO_S_IFCHR(character file), EIO_S_IFBLK(block special file), EIO_S_IFIFO(FIFO - named pipe) and EIO_S_IFSOCK(UNIX domain socket). To specify permissions EIO_S_I* constants could be used.

dev

If the file type is EIO_S_IFCHR or EIO_S_IFBLK then dev specifies the major and minor numbers of the newly created device special file. Otherwise dev ignored. See mknod(2) man page for details.

pri

The request priority: EIO_PRI_DEFAULT, EIO_PRI_MIN, EIO_PRI_MAX, or null. If null passed, pri internally is set to EIO_PRI_DEFAULT.

callback

callback function is called when the request is done. It should match the following prototype:

void callback(mixed $data, int $result[, resource $req]);

data: is custom data passed to the request.
result: request-specific result value; basically, the value returned by corresponding system call.
req: is optional request resource which can be used with functions like eio_get_last_error().

data

Arbitrary variable passed to callback.

Return Values

eio_mknod() returns request resource on success, or false on failure.

Examples

Example #1 eio_mknod() example

<?php
// FIFO name
$temp_filename = "/tmp/eio-temp-fifo";

/* Is called when eio_mknod() finishes */
function my_mknod_callback($data, $result) {
    $s = stat($data);
    var_dump($s);

    if ($result == 0) {
        echo "eio_mknod_ok";
    }

    @unlink($data);
}

eio_mknod($temp_filename, EIO_S_IFIFO, 0,
    EIO_PRI_DEFAULT, "my_mknod_callback", $temp_filename);
eio_event_loop();
?>
