<varlistentry xml:id="ev.constants.flag-noenv">
<term><constant>Ev::FLAG_NOENV</constant></term>
<listitem>
<para>
If this flag used(or the program runs setuid or setgid),
<literal>libev</literal> won't look at the environment variable
<varname>LIBEV_FLAGS</varname>. Otherwise(by default),
<varname>LIBEV_FLAGS</varname> will override the flags completely if it
is found. Useful for performance tests and searching for bugs.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry xml:id="ev.constants.flag-forkcheck">
<term><constant>Ev::FLAG_FORKCHECK</constant></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Makes libev check for a fork in each iteration, instead of calling
<methodname>EvLoop::fork</methodname> manually.
This works by calling <literal>getpid()</literal> on every iteration of
the loop, and thus this might slow down your event loop if you do a lot of
loop iterations, but usually is not noticeable.
This flag setting cannot be overridden or specified in the
<varname>LIBEV_FLAGS</varname> environment variable.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry xml:id="ev.constants.flag-noinotify">
<term><constant>Ev::FLAG_NOINOTIFY</constant></term>
<listitem>
<para>
When this flag is specified, <literal>libev</literal> won't attempt to

xlink:href="http://pod.tst.eu/http://cvs.schmorp.de/libev/ev.pod#code_ev_stat_code_did_the_file_attri">ev_stat</link>
watchers. The flag can be useful to conserve inotify file descriptors, as
otherwise each loop using <literal>ev_stat</literal> watchers consumes
one <literal>inotify</literal> handle.

</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry xml:id="ev.constants.flag-signalfd">
<term><constant>Ev::FLAG_SIGNALFD</constant></term>
<listitem>

<link
xlink:href="http://pod.tst.eu/http://cvs.schmorp.de/libev/ev.pod#code_ev_signal_code_signal_me_when_a">ev_signal</link>
(and <link
xlink:href="http://pod.tst.eu/http://cvs.schmorp.de/libev/ev.pod#code_ev_child_code_watch_out_for_pro">ev_child</link>)
watchers. This API delivers signals synchronously, which makes it both
faster and might make it possible to get the queued signal data. It can
also simplify signal handling with threads, as long as you properly block
signals in your threads that are not interested in handling them.
<literal>Signalfd</literal> will not be used by default.

</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry xml:id="ev.constants.flag-nosigmask">
<term><constant>Ev::FLAG_NOSIGMASK</constant></term>
<listitem>
<para>
When this flag is specified, <literal>libev</literal> will avoid to
modify the signal mask. Specifically, this means you have to make sure
signals are unblocked when you want to receive them.
This behaviour is useful when you want to do your own signal handling, or
want to handle signals only in specific threads and want to avoid
<literal>libev</literal> unblocking the signals.

<para>
Means that event loop will look for new events, will handle those events
and any already outstanding ones, but will not wait and block your
process in case there are no events and will return after one iteration
of the loop. This is sometimes useful to poll and handle new events
while doing lengthy calculations, to keep the program responsive.

Means that even loop will look for new events(waiting if
necessary) and will handle those and any already outstanding ones. It
will block your process until at least one new event arrives (which could
be an event internal to libev itself, so there is no guarantee that a
user-registered callback will be called), and will return after one
iteration of the loop.
