| Description |
I got a bit confused looking at some event code on port schemes. Here is the list of events I later found: * lookup * connect * wrote * read * close * error * done I wouldn't have thought anything of it if wrote hadn't been in there. But because it was, I thought about how it seemed more literate than WRITE being the event name. It made me want to see more consistency. I know that READ ("red") is the past tense of READ ("reed")...and it is consistent in that sense. But it is pretty confusing, in a place that's confusing enough. REDDIT is probably trademarked, and it's weird looking anyway. So the best single short word I could think of was SEEN. Here's a potential list: * lookup => looked * connect => connected * write => wrote * read => seen * close => closed * error => failed * done => done If there's a transformation turning WRITE into WROTE somewhere, it seems it would be easy to apply to the other cases. I suppose the alternative suggestion would be to turn WROTE into WRITE for consistency. But I liked the literacy of it, after coping with a lot of onWrite or Event_WRITE_DONE in other systems. :-/ |

As the events are in process, would it be more appropriate to use present tense? — starting/initiating, connecting, writing, reading, closing, failing, finishing/completing |

Are they? I thought that the 'wrote and 'read events triggered after some data has been read or written. The overall process is ongoing, but the event triggers after a part of the process happens.
Are the other events triggered at the beginning of a step? Maybe they aren't all past tense. |
