Mail::SpamAssassin::AsUseroContributed Perl DoMail::SpamAssassin::AsyncLoop(3)
NAME
       Mail::SpamAssassin::AsyncLoop - scanner asynchronous event loop
DESCRIPTION
       An asynchronous event loop used for long-running operations, performed
       "in the background" during the Mail::SpamAssassin::check() scan
       operation, such as DNS blocklist lookups.
METHODS
       $ent = $async->start_lookup($ent, $master_deadline)
           Register the start of a long-running asynchronous lookup operation.
           $ent is a hash reference containing the following items:
           key (required)
               A key string, unique to this lookup.  This is what is reported
               in debug messages, used as the key for "get_lookup()", etc.
           id (required)
               An ID string, also unique to this lookup.  Typically, this is
               the DNS packet ID as returned by DnsResolver's "bgsend" method.
               Sadly, the Net::DNS architecture forces us to keep a separate
               ID string for this task instead of reusing "key" -- if you are
               not using DNS lookups through DnsResolver, it should be OK to
               just reuse "key".
           type (required)
               A string, typically one word, used to describe the type of
               lookup in log messages, such as "DNSBL", "MX", "TXT".
           zone (optional)
               A zone specification (typically a DNS zone name - e.g. host,
               domain, or RBL) which may be used as a key to look up per-zone
               settings. No semantics on this parameter is imposed by this
               module. Currently used to fetch by-zone timeouts.
           timeout_initial (optional)
               An initial value of elapsed time for which we are willing to
               wait for a response (time in seconds, floating point value is
               allowed). When elapsed time since a query started exceeds the
               timeout value and there are no other queries to wait for, the
               query is aborted. The actual timeout value ranges from
               timeout_initial and gradually approaches timeout_min (see next
               parameter) as the number of already completed queries
               approaches the number of all queries started.
               If a caller does not explicitly provide this parameter or its
               value is undefined, a default initial timeout value is settable
               by a configuration variable rbl_timeout.
               If a value of the timeout_initial parameter is below
               timeout_min, the initial timeout is set to timeout_min.
           timeout_min (optional)
               A lower bound (in seconds) to which the actual timeout
               approaches as the number of queries completed approaches the
               number of all queries started.  Defaults to 0.2 *
               timeout_initial.
           $ent is returned by this method, with its contents augmented by
           additional information.
       $ent = $async->bgsend_and_start_lookup($domain, $type, $class, $ent,
       $cb, %options)
           A common idiom: calls "bgsend", followed by a call to
           "start_lookup", returning the argument $ent object as modified by
           "start_lookup" and filled-in with a query ID.
       $ent = $async->get_lookup($key)
           Retrieve the pending-lookup object for the given key $key.
           If the lookup is complete, this will return "undef".
           Note that a lookup is still considered "pending" until
           "complete_lookups()" is called, even if it has been reported as
           complete via "set_response_packet()".
       $async->log_lookups_timing()
           Log sorted timing for all completed lookups.
       $alldone = $async->complete_lookups()
           Perform a poll of the pending lookups, to see if any are completed.
           Callbacks on completed queries will be called from
           poll_responses().
           If there are no lookups remaining, or if too much time has elapsed
           since any results were returned, 1 is returned, otherwise 0.
       $async->abort_remaining_lookups()
           Abort any remaining lookups.
       $async->set_response_packet($id, $pkt, $key, $timestamp)
           Register a "response packet" for a given query.  $id is the ID for
           the query, and must match the "id" supplied in "start_lookup()".
           $pkt is the packet object for the response. A parameter $key
           identifies an entry in a hash %{$self->{pending_lookups}} where the
           object which spawned this query can be found, and through which
           further information about the query is accessible.
           $pkt may be undef, indicating that no response packet is available,
           but a query has completed (e.g. was aborted or dismissed) and is no
           longer "pending".
           The DNS resolver's response packet $pkt will be made available to a
           callback subroutine through its argument as well as in
           "$ent-<gt"{response_packet}>.
       $async->report_id_complete($id,$key,$key,$timestamp)
           Legacy. Equivalent to
           $self->set_response_packet($id,undef,$key,$timestamp), i.e.
           providing undef as a response packet. Register that a query has
           completed and is no longer "pending". $id is the ID for the query,
           and must match the "id" supplied in "start_lookup()".
           One or the other of "set_response_packet()" or
           "report_id_complete()" should be called, but not both.
       $time = $async->last_poll_responses_time()
           Get the time of the last call to "poll_responses()" (which is
           called from "complete_lookups()".  If "poll_responses()" was never
           called or "abort_remaining_lookups()" has been called
           "last_poll_responses_time()" will return undef.
