XPCOM:nsIEventTargetManager

Summary

Provide an interface that exposes our event queue system in a freezable and scriptable fashion.

nsIEventTarget abstracts the posting of a PLEvent to a thread event queue. It is currently implemented by nsEventQueue, nsSocketTransportService, and nsIOThreadPool. Most consumers only know how to work with a nsIEventQueue, which is only implemented by the nsEventQueue class.

interface nsIEventTargetManager : nsISupports {
  void post(in nsIEventTarget target, in nsIRunnable runnable,
            in boolean synchronous);
  nsIEventTarget getEventTarget(in ACString name);
  nsIEventTarget setEventTarget(in ACString name, in nsIEventTarget);
};
