    * {2 Duppy task scheduler for OCaml.}
    *
    * {!Duppy} is a task scheduler for ocaml. It implements a wrapper 
    * around [Unix.select].
    * 
    * Using {!Duppy.Task}, the programmer can easily submit tasks that need to wait 
    * on a socket even, or for a given timeout (possibly zero).
    *
    * With {!Duppy.Async}, one can use a scheduler to submit asynchronous tasks.
    *
    * {!Duppy.Io} implements recursive easy reading and writing to a [Unix.file_descr]
    *
    * Finally, {!Duppy.Monad} and {!Duppy.Monad.Io} provide a monadic interface to
    * program server code that with an implicit return/reply execution flow.
    *
    * The scheduler can use several queues running concurently, each queue 
    * processing ready tasks. Of course, a queue should run in its own thread.*)

(** A scheduler is a device for processing tasks. Several queues might run in
  * different threads, processing one scheduler's tasks. 
  *
  * ['a] is the type of objects used for priorities. *)
type 'a scheduler

(** Panic exception is raised when duppy's event loops has
  * crashed. This exception should be considered a MAJOR
  * FAILURE. All current non-ready tasks registered for the 
  * calling scheduler are dropped. You may restart Duppy's queues after it is raised but
  * it should only be used to terminate the process diligently!! *)
exception Panic of exn

  * @param compare the comparison function used to sort tasks according to priorities. 
  * Works as in [List.sort] *)
val create : ?compare:('a -> 'a -> int) -> unit -> 'a scheduler 

(** [queue ~log ~priorities s name] 
 * starts a queue, on the scheduler [s] only processing priorities [p]
 * for which [priorities p] returns [true].
 *
 * Raises [Panic exception] if [exception] was raised while executing
 * the main event loop.
 *
 * Several queues can be run concurrently against [s]. 
 * @param log Logging function. Default: [Printf.printf "queue %s: %s\n" name]
 * @param priorities Predicate specifying which priority to process. Default: [fun _ -> _ -> true]*)

  *
  * A task will be a set of events to watch, and a corresponding function to
  * execute when one of the events is trigered.
  * 
  * The executed function may then return a list of new tasks to schedule. *)

  (** [add ~priority s f] creates an asynchronous task in [s] with

    *
    * The task executes the function [f].
    * If the task returns a positive float, the function will be executed
    * again after this delay. Otherwise it goes to sleep, and 
    * you can use [wake_up] to resume the task and execute [f] again. 
    * Only a single call to [f] is done at each time. 
    * Multiple [wake_up] while previous task has not 
    * finished will result in sequentialized calls to [f]. *)

(** Easy parsing of [Unix.file_descr].
  *
  * With {!Duppy.Io.read}, you can pass a file descriptor to the scheduler,
  * along with a marker, and have it run the associated function when the
  * marker is found.
  *
  * With {!Duppy.Io.write}, the schdeduler will try to write recursively to the file descriptor
  * the given string. *)

    * 
    * Can be used recursively or not, depending on the way you process strings. 
    * Because of Unix's semantic, it is not possible to stop reading
    * at first marker, so there can be a remaining string. If not used
    * recursively, the second optional argument may contain a remaining
    * string. You should then initiate the next read with this value.
    *
    * The [on_error] function is used when reading failed on the socket.
    * Depending on your usage, it can be a hard failure, or simply a lost client.
    * The string passed to [on_error] contains data read before error

(** Monadic interface to {!Duppy.Io}. 
  * 
  * This module can be used to write code
  * that runs in various Duppy's tasks and
  * raise values in a completely transparent way.
  * 
  * You can see examples of its use
  * in the [examples/] directory of the
  * source code and in the files 
  * [src/tools/{harbor.camlp4,server.camlp4}]
  * in liquidsoap's code. 
  * 
  * When a server communicates
  * with a client, it performs several
  * computations and, eventually, terminates.
  * A computation can either return a new 
  * value or terminate. For instance:
  * 
  * - Client connects.
  * - Server tries to authenticate the client.
  * - If authentication is ok, proceed with the next step.
  * - Otherwise terminate.
  *
  * The purpose of the monad is to embed
  * computations which can either return 
  * a new value or raise a value that is used
  * to terminate. *)
