const integer FEATURE_ET = 1 ;
const integer FEATURE_O1 = 2 ;
const integer FEATURE_FDS = 4 ;
/* Methods */
public avoidMethod ( string `$method` ) : bool
public __construct ( void )
public requireFeatures ( int `$feature` ) : bool
public setMaxDispatchInterval ( int `$max_interval` , int `$max_callbacks` , int `$min_priority` ) : void
}
