Sleep Blocker
=============

[](#sleep-blocker)

Allow PHP scripts to prevent a system from going to sleep.

Example
-------

[](#example)

Obtain a blocker by calling SleepBlocker::create. This will return a blocker implementation appropriate for the current system.

```
$blocker = Kicken\SleepBlocker\SleepBlocker::create();

```

Use the blocker methods preventSleep and allowSleep to disable or enable the system's ability to enter sleep mode.

```
$server = stream_socket_server('tcp://0.0.0.0:9');
while (true){
    $client = stream_socket_accept($server, null);
    if ($client){
        $blocker->preventSleep();
        do {
            $data = fread($client, 1024);
            if (!$data){
                fclose($client);
                $client = null;
            }
        } while ($client);
        $blocker->sllowSleep();
    }
}

```
