I did look at the man page, but it doesn't seem like there was much in
the way of actual functions. To be fair, I haven't looked at the POD
page yet, so perhaps there is more. I did run the example, but it gave
me a blob of info rather than more digestible chunks. That's alright,
but I'm unclear what the OWserver gets me beyond OW.pm (or even what
OW.pm gets me beyond what OWFS has....) if I'm using everything on
localhost....
One think I am trying to get (either directly or indirectly) is
signals/callbacks/alerts when new devices are added. It seems I can
either poll the interface or watch the file systems (which is
effectively the same thing, AFAIK). Watching the file system seems
like a pretty easy, standard way to do this, although I wish there was
some way to set refresh rate lower than 1 second.
Which leads to a question. Does the owserver 'push' new data to
clients, or does it expect clients to poll? It seems like it expects
clients to poll.....
