A GSocketService is an object that represents a service that is provided to the network or over local sockets. When a new connection is made to the service the "incoming" signal is emitted.
A GSocketService is a subclass of GSocketListener and you need to add the addresses you want to accept connections on to the with the GSocketListener APIs.
There are two options for implementing a network service based on
GSocketService. The first is to create the service using
g_socket_service_new() and to connect to the "incoming"
signal. The second is to subclass GSocketService and override the
default signal handler implementation.
In either case, the handler must immediately return, or else it will block additional incoming connections from being serviced. If you are interested in writing connection handlers that contain blocking code then see GThreadedSocketService.
The socket service runs on the main loop in the main thread, and is not threadsafe in general. However, the calls to start and stop the service are threadsafe so these can be used from threads that handle incoming clients.
typedef struct _GSocketService GSocketService;
A helper class for handling accepting incomming connections in the glib mainloop.
Since 2.22
GSocketService * g_socket_service_new (void);
Creates a new GSocketService with no sockets to listen for.
New listeners can be added with e.g. g_socket_listener_add_address()
or g_socket_listener_add_inet_port().
Returns : |
a new GSocketService. |
Since 2.22
void g_socket_service_start (GSocketService *service);
Starts the service, i.e. start accepting connections from the added sockets when the mainloop runs.
This call is threadsafe, so it may be called from a thread handling an incomming client request.

Since 2.22
void g_socket_service_stop (GSocketService *service);
Stops the service, i.e. stops accepting connections from the added sockets when the mainloop runs.
This call is threadsafe, so it may be called from a thread handling an incomming client request.

a GSocketService |
Since 2.22
gboolean g_socket_service_is_active (GSocketService *service);
Check whether the service is active or not. An active service will accept new clients that connect, while a non-active service will let connecting clients queue up until the service is started.

Returns : |
TRUE if the service is active, FALSE otherwise |
Since 2.22
"incoming" signalgboolean user_function (GSocketService *service,
GSocketConnection *connection,
GObject *source_object,
gpointer user_data) : Run Last
The ::incoming signal is emitted when a new incoming connection
to service needs to be handled. The handler must initiate the
handling of connection, but may not block; in essence,
asynchronous operations must be used.

the GSocketService. |
|
a new GSocketConnection object. |
|
the source_object passed to g_socket_listener_add_address(). |
|
user data set when the signal handler was connected. |
Returns : |
TRUE to stop other handlers from being called |
