<P class="Body" style="margin: 0px"><BR>
MainLoop is one large loop used to monitor the main message port in the app_server thread. This is a standard port-monitoring loop code:</P>
<P class="Body" style="margin: 0px"><BR>
1) Call port_buffer_size - which will block if the port is empty</P>
<P class="Body" style="margin: 0px">2) Allocate a buffer on the heap if the port buffer size is greater than 0</P>
<P class="Body" style="margin: 0px">3) Read the port</P>
<P class="Body" style="margin: 0px">4) Pass specified messages to DispatchMessage() for processing, spitting out an error message to stderr if the message's code is unrecognized</P>
<P class="Body" style="margin: 0px">5) Return from DispatchMessage() and free the message buffer if one was allocated</P>
<P class="Body" style="margin: 0px">6) If the message code matches the B_QUIT_REQUESTED definition and the quit_server flag is true, fall out of the infinite message-monitoring loop</P>

<span class="OBOS-Function-Def">void DispatchMessage(int32 code, int8 *buffer)</span></P>

<P class="Body" style="text-align: left; margin: 0px"><BR>
Picasso is a function, despite its name, dedicated to ensuring that the server deallocates resources to a dead application. It consists of a while(!quit_server) loop as follows:</P>
<P class="Body" style="text-align: left; margin: 0px"><BR>
1) Acquire the appliction list lock</P>
<P class="Body" style="text-align: left; margin: 0px">2) Iterate through the list, calling each ServerApp object's PingTarget() method.</P>
<P class="Body" style="text-align: left; margin: 0px">3) If PingTarget returns false, remove the ServerApp from the list and delete it.</P>
<P class="Body" style="text-align: left; margin: 0px">4) Release the appliction list lock</P>

<span class="OBOS-Function-Def">static int32 Poller(void *data)</span></P>
<P class="Body" style="text-align: left; margin: 0px"><BR>
Poller is the main workhorse of the AppServer class, polling the Server's input port constantly for any messages from the Input Server and calling the appropriate handlers. Like Picasso, it, too, is mostly a while(!quit_server) loop.</P>
<P class="Body" style="text-align: left; margin: 0px"><BR>

<span class="OBOS-Function-Def">void Broadcast(int32 code)</span></P>
<P class="Body" style="margin: 0px"><BR>
Broadcast() provides the AppServer class with an easy way to send a quick message to all ServerApps. Primarily, this is called when a font or decorator has changed, or when the server is shutting down. It is not intended to do anything except send a quick message which requires no extra data, such as for some upadate signalling.</P>
