Function glib::source::unix_signal_source_new

pub fn unix_signal_source_new<F>(
    signum: i32, 
    name: Option<&str>, 
    priority: Priority, 
    func: F
) -> Source where
    F: FnMut() -> Continue + Send + 'static, 

This is supported on Unix only.

Adds a closure to be called by the main loop the returned Source is attached to whenever a UNIX signal is raised.

func will be called repeatedly every time signum is raised until it returns Continue(false). Create a Source that will be dispatched upon delivery of the UNIX signal signum. In GLib versions before 2.36, only SIGHUP, SIGINT, SIGTERM can be monitored. In GLib 2.36, SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 were added. In GLib 2.54, SIGWINCH was added.

Note that unlike the UNIX default, all sources which have created a watch will be dispatched, regardless of which underlying thread invoked g_unix_signal_source_new().

For example, an effective use of this function is to handle SIGTERM cleanly; flushing any outstanding files, and then calling g_main_loop_quit (). It is not safe to do any of this a regular UNIX signal handler; your handler may be invoked while malloc() or another library function is running, causing reentrancy if you attempt to use it from the handler. None of the GLib/GObject API is safe against this kind of reentrancy.

The interaction of this source when combined with native UNIX functions like sigprocmask() is not defined.

The source will not initially be associated with any MainContext and must be added to one with g_source_attach() before it will be executed.

signum

A signal number

Returns

A newly created Source
