41 * functions is designed for programs which explicitly target UNIX,
42 * or are using it to build higher level abstractions which would be
43 * conditionally compiled if the platform matches G_OS_UNIX.
45 * To use these functions, you must explicitly include the
46 * "glib-unix.h" header.

64 * g_unix_open_pipe:
65 * @fds: Array of two integers
66 * @flags: Bitfield of file descriptor flags, as for fcntl()
67 * @error: a #GError
69 * Similar to the UNIX pipe() call, but on modern systems like Linux
70 * uses the pipe2() system call, which atomically creates a pipe with
71 * the configured flags. The only supported flag currently is
72 * %FD_CLOEXEC. If for example you want to configure %O_NONBLOCK, that
73 * must still be done separately with fcntl().
75 * This function does not take %O_CLOEXEC, it takes %FD_CLOEXEC as if
76 * for fcntl(); these are different on Linux/glibc.
78 * Returns: %TRUE on success, %FALSE if not (and errno will be set).

184 * g_unix_signal_source_new:
185 * @signum: A signal number
187 * Create a #GSource that will be dispatched upon delivery of the UNIX
188 * signal @signum. In GLib versions before 2.36, only `SIGHUP`, `SIGINT`,
189 * `SIGTERM` can be monitored. In GLib 2.36, `SIGUSR1` and `SIGUSR2`
190 * were added.
192 * Note that unlike the UNIX default, all sources which have created a
193 * watch will be dispatched, regardless of which underlying thread
194 * invoked g_unix_signal_source_new().
196 * For example, an effective use of this function is to handle `SIGTERM`
197 * cleanly; flushing any outstanding files, and then calling
198 * g_main_loop_quit (). It is not safe to do any of this a regular
199 * UNIX signal handler; your handler may be invoked while malloc() or
200 * another library function is running, causing reentrancy if you
201 * attempt to use it from the handler. None of the GLib/GObject API
202 * is safe against this kind of reentrancy.
204 * The interaction of this source when combined with native UNIX
205 * functions like sigprocmask() is not defined.
207 * The source will not initially be associated with any #GMainContext
208 * and must be added to one with g_source_attach() before it will be
209 * executed.
