.SH NAME
Test2::IPC::Driver \- Base class for Test2 IPC drivers.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 1
\&    package Test2::IPC::Driver::MyDriver;

\&    use base \*(AqTest2::IPC::Driver\*(Aq;

.SH METHODS
.IX Header "METHODS"
.ie n .IP $self\->abort($msg) 4
.el .IP \f(CW$self\fR\->abort($msg) 4
.IX Item "$self->abort($msg)"
If an IPC encounters a fatal error it should use this. This will print the
message to STDERR with \f(CW\*(AqIPC Fatal Error: \*(Aq\fR prefixed to it, then it will
forcefully exit 255. IPC errors may occur in threads or processes other than
the main one, this method provides the best chance of the harness noticing the
error.
.ie n .IP $self\->abort_trace($msg) 4
.el .IP \f(CW$self\fR\->abort_trace($msg) 4
.IX Item "$self->abort_trace($msg)"
This is the same as \f(CW\*(C`$ipc\->abort($msg)\*(C'\fR except that it uses
\&\f(CW\*(C`Carp::longmess\*(C'\fR to add a stack trace to the message.
.SH "LOADING DRIVERS"
.IX Header "LOADING DRIVERS"
Test2::IPC::Driver has an \f(CWimport()\fR method. All drivers inherit this import
method. This import method registers the driver.
.PP
In most cases you just need to load the desired IPC driver to make it work. You
should load this driver as early as possible. A warning will be issued if you
load it too late for it to be effective.

This should return true if the driver works in the current environment. This
should return false if it does not. This is a CLASS method.
.ie n .IP $ipc\->add_hub($hid) 4
.el .IP \f(CW$ipc\fR\->add_hub($hid) 4
.IX Item "$ipc->add_hub($hid)"
This is used to alert the driver that a new hub is expecting events. The driver
should keep track of the process and thread ids, the hub should only be dropped
by the proc+thread that started it.

This is used to alert the driver that a hub is no longer accepting events. The
driver should keep track of the process and thread ids, the hub should only be
dropped by the proc+thread that started it (This is the drivers responsibility
to enforce).

This is a hook called by \f(CW\*(C`Test2::IPC::Driver\->abort()\*(C'\fR. This is your
chance to cleanup when an abort happens. You cannot prevent the abort, but you
can gracefully except it.
