Details¶

class Gio.IOSchedulerJob¶

Opaque class for defining and scheduling IO jobs.

send_to_mainloop(func, *user_data)[source]¶

Parameters:	func (`GLib.SourceFunc`) – a `GLib.SourceFunc` callback that will be called in the original thread user_data (`object` or `None`) – data to pass to func
Returns:	The return value of func
Return type:	`bool`

Used from an I/O job to send a callback to be run in the thread that the job was started from, waiting for the result (and thus blocking the I/O job).

Deprecated since version ???: Use g_main_context_invoke().

send_to_mainloop_async(func, *user_data)[source]¶

Parameters:	func (`GLib.SourceFunc`) – a `GLib.SourceFunc` callback that will be called in the original thread user_data (`object` or `None`) – data to pass to func

Used from an I/O job to send a callback to be run asynchronously in the thread that the job was started from. The callback will be run when the main loop is available, but at that time the I/O job might have finished. The return value from the callback is ignored.

Note that if you are passing the user_data from Gio.io_scheduler_push_job() on to this function you have to ensure that it is not freed before func is called, either by passing None as notify to Gio.io_scheduler_push_job() or by using refcounting for user_data.

Deprecated since version ???: Use g_main_context_invoke().
