interface SOMEEMan : SOMObject
// The Event Manager class (EMan for short) is used to handle several input
// events. The main purpose of this class is to provide a service that can do
// a blocked (or timed) wait on several event sources concurrently.  Typically,
// in a main program,  one registers an interest in an event type with EMan and 
// specifies a callback (a procedure or a method) to be invoked when the event
// of interest occurs. After all the necessary registrations are done, the main
// program is ended by a call to process events in EMan. This call is non-returning.
// Eman then waits on multiple registered sources of events. The application is then
// completely event driven. I.E., it does something only when an event occurs.
// The control returns to EMan after processing each event. Further registrations
// can be done inside of callback routines. So also unregistrations.
//
// AIX Specifics: 
// On AIX this event manager supports Timer, Sink (any file, pipe,
// socket and Message Queue), Client and WorkProc events.
//
// OS/2 Specifics:
// On OS/2 this event manager supports Timer, Sink(sockets only). Client and
// WorkProc events.
// To cope with multi-threaded applications on OS/2, the event manager
// methods are mutually exclusive (i.e., at any time only one thread can be
// executing inside of EMan).
// If an application thread needs to stop EMan from running (i.e., achieve
// mutual exclusion with EMan), it can use the two methods someGetEmanSem 
// and someReleaseEManSem to acquire and release EMan semaphore(s).
// On AIX, at present, since AIX does not support threads calling these two methods
// has no effect.
{
    void someGetEManSem();
    // Gets a semaphore to achieve mutual exclusion with EMan's activity.
    // Callers should not hold this semaphore for too long since it essentially
    // stops EMan activity for that duration.
