[Eventmachine-talk] EM & STDIN/STDOUT

[Kenneth Kalmer]

Hi all

I'm tasked with writing an experimental backend for PowerDNS, and
since I speak ruby I thought the backend should do the same. PowerDNS
allows developers to create custom, piped backends
(http://doc.powerdns.com/backends-detail.html#PIPEBACKEND). It's a
very simple text protocol over STDIN/STDOUT, and I was wondering if EM
would be a good for this, and other similar tasks (over piped
communications)?

Kind regards

I know there has been some experimenting with 'attach' and 'detach.
You may be able to attach STDIN/STDOUT so that EM watches fd 1 [is
that STDIN/STDOUT?]--I'm not totally sure of the semantics, having
never used it. I think there's a keyboard reader which might fake
STDIN.
Cheers.
