#: Default size for calls to :meth:`Side.read` or :meth:`Side.write`, and the
#: size of buffers configured by :func:`mitogen.parent.create_socketpair`. This
#: value has many performance implications, 128KiB seems to be a sweet spot.
#:
#: * When set low, large messages cause many :class:`Broker` IO loop
#:   iterations, burning CPU and reducing throughput.
#: * When set high, excessive RAM is reserved by the OS for socket buffers (2x
#:   per child), and an identically sized temporary userspace buffer is
#:   allocated on each read that requires zeroing, and over a particular size
#:   may require two system calls to allocate/deallocate.
#:
#: Care must be taken to ensure the underlying kernel object and receiving
#: program support the desired size. For example,
#:
#: * Most UNIXes have TTYs with fixed 2KiB-4KiB buffers, making them unsuitable
#:   for efficient IO.
#: * Different UNIXes have varying presets for pipes, which may not be
#:   configurable. On recent Linux the default pipe buffer size is 64KiB, but
#:   under memory pressure may be as low as 4KiB for unprivileged processes.
#: * When communication is via an intermediary process, its internal buffers
#:   effect the speed OS buffers will drain. For example OpenSSH uses 64KiB
#:   reads.
#:
#: An ideal :class:`Message` has a size that is a multiple of
#: :data:`CHUNK_SIZE` inclusive of headers, to avoid wasting IO loop iterations
#: writing small trailer chunks.

    A poller manages OS file descriptors the user is waiting to become
    available for IO. The :meth:`poll` method blocks the calling thread
    until one or more become ready. The default implementation is based on
    :func:`select.poll`.

    Each descriptor has an associated `data` element, which is unique for each
    readiness type, and defaults to being the same as the file descriptor. The
    :meth:`poll` method yields the data associated with a descriptor, rather
    than the descriptor itself, allowing concise loops like::

        p = Poller()
        p.start_receive(conn.fd, data=conn.on_read)
        p.start_transmit(conn.fd, data=conn.on_write)

        for callback in p.poll():
            callback()  # invoke appropriate bound instance method

    Pollers may be modified while :meth:`poll` is yielding results. Removals
    are processed immediately, causing pending events for the descriptor to be
    discarded.

    The :meth:`close` method must be called when a poller is discarded to avoid
    a resource leak.

    Pollers may only be used by one thread at a time.

    External context implementation.

    This class contains the main program implementation for new children. It is
    responsible for setting up everything about the process environment, import
    hooks, standard IO redirection, logging, configuring a :class:`Router` and
    :class:`Broker`, and finally arranging for :class:`Dispatcher` to take over
    the main thread after initialization is complete.

    .. attribute:: broker

        The :class:`mitogen.core.Broker` instance.

    .. attribute:: context

        The :class:`mitogen.core.Context` instance.

    .. attribute:: channel

        The :class:`mitogen.core.Channel` over which :data:`CALL_FUNCTION`
        requests are received.

    .. attribute:: importer

        The :class:`mitogen.core.Importer` instance.

    .. attribute:: stdout_log

        The :class:`IoLogger` connected to :data:`sys.stdout`.

    .. attribute:: stderr_log

        The :class:`IoLogger` connected to :data:`sys.stderr`.
