POE::Resource::FileHandles - internal filehandle manager for POE::Kernel

There is no public API.

POE::Resource::FileHandles is a mix-in class for POE::Kernel. It provides the low-level features to manage filehandles. It is used internally by POE::Kernel, so it has no public interface.

See I/O Watchers (Selects) in POE::Kernel for the public file watcher API.

See Resources in POE::Kernel for for public information about POE resources.

See POE::Resource for general discussion about resources and the classes that manage them.

POE watches I/O based on filehandles rather than file descriptors, which means there can be clashes between its API and an underlying descriptor-based event loop. This is usually not a problem, but it may require a work-around in certain edge cases.
