ev_io

[Graham Leggett]

Hi all,

I am having a hassle with the ev_io watcher, I suspect I am not 
understanding how this works.

I set up a callback on a file that must run when the file is readable, 
like this:

	ev_io_init(&t->io.io, watch_tail_reader_cb, t->handle, EV_READ);
	ev_io_start(t->s->e->loop, &t->io.io);

The callback is called, and in the callback, the file is read, until I 
reach the end of the file, at which point my attempts to read return 
size 0, which I understand to mean EOF.

The problem is, despite the EOF point in the file having been reach, 
socket remains readable, and the event still fires off in a tight loop, 
eating up 100% CPU.

I am trying to tail the file, so telling the event to stop watching the 
file for reads means that I will miss any writes a third party makes to 
the file.

Am I understanding this correctly, or does a file report itself as 
repeatedly readable when the pointer reaches the end of the file?

Regards,
Graham
