Runs code after a given time interval. This is not a high precision timer, there is no guarantee about how soon after delay milliseconds, the action will be performed.

Platform

Restart

class Restart(val applicationClass: KClass<out Application>, val rawArgs: Array<out String> = emptyArray())

When an Application ends, it can choose to restart by adding an item to GlokSettings.restarts. applicationClass can be the same as the previous application, or another one.

Functions

createRestart

fun createRestart(klass: Class<out Application>, rawArgs: Array<out String> = emptyArray()): Restart

A convenience function for those using Java rather than Kotlin. It creates a Restart using a Java Class, rather than a Kotlin KClass.

doubleDashArguments

fun doubleDashArguments(flags: List<Char>, longFlags: List<String>, parameters: List<String>, args: Array<out String>): Arguments

Similar to posixArguments, but uses two dashes for long names. Single dashes are only used for flags.

launch

expect fun launch(klass: KClass<out Application>, rawArgs: Array<out String> = emptyArray())

Called from the program's main entry point to start a Glok Application.

actual fun launch(klass: KClass<out Application>, rawArgs: Array<out String>)

fun launch(klass: Class<out Application>, rawArgs: Array<out String> = emptyArray())

A convenience function for those using Java rather than Kotlin. It launches an application using a Java Class, rather than a Kotlin KClass.

actual fun launch(klass: KClass<out Application>, rawArgs: Array<out String>)

launchInContainer

fun launchInContainer(klass: KClass<out Application>, containerName: String, rawArgs: Array<out String> = emptyArray())

Starts the Glok application.

loop

actual fun loop(application: Application)

posixArguments

fun posixArguments(flags: List<Char>, longFlags: List<String>, parameters: List<String>, args: Array<out String>): Arguments
