ioCreateWatch

Creates a #GSource that's dispatched when condition is met for the given channel. For example, if condition is glib.types.IOCondition.In, the source will be dispatched when there's data available for reading.

The callback function invoked by the #GSource should be added with glib.source.Source.setCallback, but it has type #GIOFunc (not #GSourceFunc).

glib.global.ioAddWatch is a simpler interface to this same functionality, for the case where you want to add the source to the default main loop context at the default priority.

On Windows, polling a #GSource created to watch a channel for a socket puts the socket in non-blocking mode. This is a side-effect of the implementation and unavoidable.

Parameters

channel glib.iochannel.IOChannel

a #GIOChannel to watch

condition glib.types.IOCondition

conditions to watch for

Return Value

Type: glib.source.Source
