Detailed Description

UNIX signal support for main loops.

In contrast to other main loop event sources such as timer and IO events, UNIX signal support requires modification of the global process environment. Due to this the generic main loop abstraction layer as defined in mainloop-api.h doesn't have direct support for UNIX signals. However, you may hook signal support into an abstract main loop via the routines defined herein.

Typedef Documentation

◆ pa_signal_cb_t

typedef void(* pa_signal_cb_t) (pa_mainloop_api *api, pa_signal_event *e, int sig, void *userdata)

Callback prototype for signal events.

◆ pa_signal_destroy_cb_t

typedef void(* pa_signal_destroy_cb_t) (pa_mainloop_api *api, pa_signal_event *e, void *userdata)

Destroy callback prototype for signal events.

◆ pa_signal_event

typedef struct pa_signal_event pa_signal_event

An opaque UNIX signal event source object.

Function Documentation

◆ pa_signal_done()

void pa_signal_done ( void )

Cleanup the signal subsystem.

◆ pa_signal_free()

void pa_signal_free ( pa_signal_event * e )

Free a UNIX signal event source object.

◆ pa_signal_init()

int pa_signal_init ( pa_mainloop_api * api )

Initialize the UNIX signal subsystem and bind it to the specified main loop.

◆ pa_signal_new()

pa_signal_event* pa_signal_new	(	int	sig,
		pa_signal_cb_t	callback,
		void *	userdata
	)

Create a new UNIX signal event source object.

◆ pa_signal_set_destroy()

void pa_signal_set_destroy	(	pa_signal_event *	e,
		pa_signal_destroy_cb_t	callback
	)

Set a function that is called when the signal event source is destroyed.

Use this to free the userdata argument if required
