=head1 NAME

C<IO::Async::Loop> - core loop of the C<IO::Async> framework

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use IO::Async::Stream;
 use IO::Async::Timer::Countdown;

 use IO::Async::Loop;

 my $loop = IO::Async::Loop->new;

 $loop->add( IO::Async::Timer::Countdown->new(
    delay => 10,
    on_expire => sub { print "10 seconds have passed\n" },
 )->start );

 $loop->add( IO::Async::Stream->new_for_stdin(
    on_read => sub {
       my ( $self, $buffref, $eof ) = @_;

       while( $$buffref =~ s/^(.*)\n// ) {
          print "You typed a line $1\n";
       }

       return 0;
    },
 ) );

 $loop->run;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides an abstract class which implements the core loop of the
L<IO::Async> framework. Its primary purpose is to store a set of
L<IO::Async::Notifier> objects or subclasses of them. It handles all of the
lower-level set manipulation actions, and leaves the actual IO readiness 
testing/notification to the concrete class that implements it. It also
provides other functionality such as signal handling, child process managing,
and timers.

See also the two bundled Loop subclasses:

=item L<IO::Async::Loop::Select>

=item L<IO::Async::Loop::Poll>

Or other subclasses that may appear on CPAN which are not part of the core
L<IO::Async> distribution.

=head2 Ignoring SIGPIPE

Since version I<0.66> loading this module automatically ignores C<SIGPIPE>, as
it is highly unlikely that the default-terminate action is the best course of
action for an L<IO::Async>-based program to take. If at load time the handler
disposition is still set as C<DEFAULT>, it is set to ignore. If already
another handler has been placed there by the program code, it will be left
undisturbed.
