rb-async-queue-watch: Rhythmbox Development Reference Manual

## rb-async-queue-watch rb-async-queue-watch — GSource for watching a GAsyncQueue in the main loop |

## Functions

void | (*RBAsyncQueueWatchFunc) ()
guint | rb_async_queue_watch_new ()

## Description

This provides a way to feed work items to the main loop using a GAsyncQueue without polling it.

## Functions

### RBAsyncQueueWatchFunc ()

    void
    (*RBAsyncQueueWatchFunc) (gpointer item,
                              gpointer data);

Callback to call when an item is found in the queue.

#### Parameters

item | the item found in the queue |
data | user data specified when creating the watch |

### rb_async_queue_watch_new ()

    guint
    rb_async_queue_watch_new (GAsyncQueue *queue,
                              gint priority,
                              RBAsyncQueueWatchFunc callback,
                              gpointer user_data,
                              GDestroyNotify notify,
                              GMainContext *context);

Creates a new GSource that triggers when the GAsyncQueue is non-empty. This is used in rhythmbox to process queues within RhythmDB in the main thread without polling.

#### Parameters

queue | the GAsyncQueue to watch |
priority | priority value for the GSource |
callback | callback to invoke when the queue is non-empty |
user_data | user data to pass to the callback |
notify | function to call to clean up the user data for the callback |
context | the GMainContext to attach the source to |

#### Returns

the ID of the new GSource
