package name suggestions?

Hi, I'm writing a package for doing background socket IO with ticks. I'm going to prototype it in PHP and rewrite to C when the API is hammered out. Here's an example of use: // verbose example, to let you know what's going on: $fp = fsockopen("www.php.net", 80); fwrite($fp, "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: www.php.net\r\n\r\n"); $bg = IO_Background::register($fp, IO_BACKGROUND_BUFFER); declare (ticks = 5) { // your regular code goes here, and your tick function // buffers up socket output, until... // ...whoops! now we really need the data from that // socket: $bg->finish(); print $bg->fetchBuffer(); } The IO_BACKGROUND_BUFFER constant is just one of several modes it can have. This one simply stores all the output in memory until you fetch it. There will also be a "line read callback mode", "block read callback mode" and maybe something fancy matching regexps in the last read block/line or the entire buffer before doing the callback. Letting people register their own read methods would be nice, too. Anyway, I'd like some help in choosing a name for it. Here are my ideas so far: IO_Background (purpose specific) IO_Ticked (more implementation specific) IO_Bg (shorter, but obscure) IO_Async (leaves room for future expansion :) (I'm thinking "IO" instead of "Socket" because it may just as well be used for regular files or popen file descriptors too, if PHP ever supports asynchronous reads from such.) - Stig -- Stig Sæther Bakken <ssb@alltheweb.com> Fast Search & Transfer ASA, Trondheim, Norway
