Function

GLibChildWatchFunc

Declaration

void
(* GChildWatchFunc) (
  GPid pid,
  gint wait_status,
  gpointer user_data
)

Description

Prototype of a GChildWatchSource callback, called when a child process has exited.

To interpret wait_status, see the documentation for g_spawn_check_wait_status(). In particular, on Unix platforms, note that it is usually not equal to the integer passed to exit() or returned from main().

Parameters

pid

Type: GPid

The process id of the child process.

wait_status

Type: gint

Status information about the child process, encoded in a platform-specific manner.

user_data

Type: gpointer

User data passed to g_child_watch_add()

The argument can be NULL.

The data is owned by the caller of the function.
