Member Function Documentation

sigc::connection Gio::SignalSocket::connect	(	const sigc::slot< bool, Glib::IOCondition >&	slot,
		const Glib::RefPtr< Socket >&	socket,
		Glib::IOCondition	condition,
		const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >&	cancellable = Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >(),
		int	priority = Glib::PRIORITY_DEFAULT
	)

Connects an I/O handler that watches a socket.

bool io_handler(Glib::IOCondition io_condition) { ... }
Gio::signal_socket().connect(sigc::ptr_fun(& io_handler), socket, Glib::IO_IN | Glib::IO_OUT);

is equivalent to:

bool io_handler(Glib::IOCondition io_condition) { ... }
const auto socket_source = Gio::SocketSource::create(socket, Glib::IO_IN | Glib::IO_OUT);
socket_source->connect(sigc::ptr_fun(& io_handler));
socket_source->attach(Glib::MainContext::get_default());

This method is not thread-safe. You should call it, or manipulate the returned sigc::connection object, only from the thread where the SignalSocket object's MainContext runs.

Since glibmm 2.42:

Parameters

slot	A slot to call when polling socket results in an event that matches condition. The event will be passed as a parameter to slot. If io_handler() returns false the handler is disconnected.
socket	The Socket object to watch.
condition	The conditions to watch for.
cancellable	A Cancellable object which can be used to cancel the source, which will cause the source to trigger, reporting the current condition (which is likely 0 unless cancellation happened at the same time as a condition change). You can check for this in the callback using Cancellable::is_cancelled().
priority	The priority of the new event source.

Returns

A connection handle, which can be used to disconnect the handler.
