37 * Most of GLib is intended to be portable; in constrast, this set of
38 * functions is designed for programs which explicitly target UNIX, or
39 * are using it to build higher level abstractions which would be
40 * conditionally compiled if the platform matches G_OS_UNIX.
42 * To use these functions, you must explicitly include the
43 * "glib-unix.h" header.

82 * Similar to the UNIX pipe() call, but on modern systems like Linux
83 * uses the pipe2() system call, which atomically creates a pipe with
84 * the configured flags. The only supported flag currently is
85 * %FD_CLOEXEC. If for example you want to configure %O_NONBLOCK,
86 * that must still be done separately with fcntl().
88 * <note>This function does *not* take %O_CLOEXEC, it takes
89 * %FD_CLOEXEC as if for fcntl(); these are different on
92 * Returns: %TRUE on success, %FALSE if not (and errno will be set).

194 * g_unix_signal_source_new:
195 * @signum: A signal number
197 * Create a #GSource that will be dispatched upon delivery of the UNIX
198 * signal @signum. Currently only %SIGHUP, %SIGINT, and %SIGTERM can
199 * be monitored. Note that unlike the UNIX default, all sources which
200 * have created a watch will be dispatched, regardless of which
201 * underlying thread invoked g_unix_signal_create_watch().
203 * For example, an effective use of this function is to handle SIGTERM
204 * cleanly; flushing any outstanding files, and then calling
205 * g_main_loop_quit (). It is not safe to do any of this a regular
206 * UNIX signal handler; your handler may be invoked while malloc() or
207 * another library function is running, causing reentrancy if you
208 * attempt to use it from the handler. None of the GLib/GObject API
209 * is safe against this kind of reentrancy.
211 * The interaction of this source when combined with native UNIX
212 * functions like sigprocmask() is not defined.
214 * <note>For reliable behavior, if your program links to gthread
215 * (either directly or indirectly via GObject, GIO, or a higher level
216 * library), you should ensure g_thread_init() is called before using
217 * this function. For example, if your program uses GObject, call
218 * g_type_init().</note>

221 * and must be added to one with g_source_attach() before it will be

237 * g_unix_signal_add_watch_full:
238 * @signum: Signal number
239 * @priority: the priority of the signal source. Typically this will be in
240 * the range between #G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT and #G_PRIORITY_HIGH.
242 * @user_data: Data for @handler
243 * @notify: #GDestroyNotify for @handler
245 * A convenience function for g_unix_signal_source_new(), which
246 * attaches to the default #GMainContext. You can remove the watch
247 * using g_source_remove().
