svr Specifies the video server.
fd a file descriptor that can be used with select(2).
handler Pointer to a function to handle data valid on the file
descriptor.
pendingFunc Pointer to a function that will tell whether there is data
that has been read from the file descriptor, but not passed
to a handler function. If this is null, no data will be
checked for before entering select(2).
clientData Data for the use of the client callback.
path The path for which a callback will be invoked, of VL_ANY
for all paths.
events Event mask for which add or remove a handler.
callback The callback function to be invoked or removed.
ev A pointer to an event for which you wish event callbacks to
be invoked.
vlRegisterHandler is intended to provide a mechanism for receiving events
from servers other than the VL, e.g., the X server or the GL. After
vlMainLoop is given control, the handler function will be called with the
file descriptor and the client data specified when select(2) returns the
fd as readable.

This function should not be called with the VL file descriptor.
vlRemoveHandler removes the corresponding handler from the file
descriptor. There can only be one handler per file descriptor at a time.
Registering a handler on a file descriptor that already has a handler
registered will remove the previous handler. After vlRemoveHandler is
called, vlMainLoop will no longer wait on the file descriptor using
select (2)
vlAddCallback will add a callback with the specified client data to the
event mask given. If the callback and the client data match a previous
callback added on the same server and path, the event masks will be or'ed
together and the callback will only be called once. If any of the
parameters differs, all callbacks for a given event will be called, but
not in a guaranteed sequence. If VL_ANY is given as the path, the
callback will be called when the events occur on any path. These
callbacks will be called only if control is given to vlMainLoop, or
vlCallCallbacks is called.
vlRemoveCallback will remove the given callback from the events in the
event mask. A callback is only removed if the server, path, and client
data match exactly. Note that VL_ANY given as a path, will only remove a
callback that has been registered on VL_ANY.
vlRemoveAllCallbacks will remove all callbacks on a given path for a set
of events. Note again that VL_ANY will not match any path.
vlCallCallbacks will call all the callbacks registered for the server and
event. The path field in the event must be set properly. This function
will aid in creating your own main loop, or using one other than
vlMainLoop.
vlMainLoop is a select loop that will infinitely loop waiting for events
to come in on all of the file descriptors registered. If the select(2)
call is interrupted, it will try to re-enter select and continue. This
function will not return.
If successful, those routines that return a value will return zero. A
value of -1 indicates an error.
