51 * \brief The simple interface to running a flowgraph.
53 * Calls start() then wait(). Used to run a flowgraph that will stop
54 * on its own, or to run a flowgraph indefinitely until SIGINT is
60 * Start the contained flowgraph. Creates one or more threads to
61 * execute the flow graph. Returns to the caller once the threads
67 * Stop the running flowgraph. Notifies each thread created by the
68 * scheduler to shutdown, then returns to caller.
73 * Wait for a flowgraph to complete. Flowgraphs complete when
74 * either (1) all blocks indicate that they are done (typically only
75 * when using gr.file_source, or gr.head, or (2) after stop() has been
76 * called to request shutdown.
81 * Lock a flowgraph in preparation for reconfiguration. When an equal
82 * number of calls to lock() and unlock() have occurred, the flowgraph
83 * will be restarted automatically.
85 * N.B. lock() and unlock() cannot be called from a flowgraph thread
86 * (E.g., gr_block::work method) or deadlock will occur when
87 * reconfiguration happens.
92 * Unlock a flowgraph in preparation for reconfiguration. When an equal
93 * number of calls to lock() and unlock() have occurred, the flowgraph
94 * will be restarted automatically.
96 * N.B. lock() and unlock() cannot be called from a flowgraph thread
97 * (E.g., gr_block::work method) or deadlock will occur when
98 * reconfiguration happens.
