April 2024 - This site, and Kamaelia are being updated. There is significant work needed, and PRs are welcome.
For examples and more explanations, see the module level docs.
ByteRate_RequestControl([rate][,chunksize][,chunkrate][,allowchunkaggregation])
-> new ByteRate_RequestControl component.
Controls rate of a data source by, at a controlled rate, emitting
integers saying how much data to emit.
Keyword arguments:
- rate -- qty of data items per second (default=100000)
- chunksize -- None or qty of items per 'chunk' (default=None)
- chunkrate -- None or number of chunks per second (default=10)
- allowchunkaggregation -- if True, chunksize will be enlarged if
'catching up' is necessary (default=False)
Specify either chunksize or chunkrate, but not both.
Inboxes
- control : Shutdown signalling
- inbox : NOT USED
Outboxes
- outbox : requests for 'n' items
- signal : Shutdown signalling
Methods defined here
Warning!
You should be using the inbox/outbox interface, not these methods
(except construction). This documentation is designed as a roadmap as to
their functionalilty for maintainers and new component developers.
