Hi Patrick,
The mechanism to start/stop a subscription is accessed via calls to
ca_create_subscription/ca_clear_susbscription. If you have a single threaded
application then you will need to start and stop the subscriptions from
within the main loop. Therefore, yes, that could be accomplished by calling
ca_pend_event with a finite timeout, deciding what subscriptions might be
needed, and calling ca_create_subscription/ca_clear_susbscription to start
stop the appropriate subscriptions - all of these actions in a loop. There
are of course many other, more complex, ways to schedule this including
changing to a preemptive callback mode application with multiple threads
(emphasis on complex) but of course a simple, minimal approach is often
just-a-fit for the design requirements.
Jeff

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is
not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they
are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them
as they fly overhead. -- RFC 1925
