Description

Functions

e_dbus_server_run ()

EDBusServerExitCode
e_dbus_server_run (EDBusServer *server,
                   gboolean wait_for_client);

Emits the “run” signal.

By default the server will start its main loop and attempt to acquire its well-known session bus name. If the server 's main loop is already running, the function will immediately return E_DBUS_SERVER_EXIT_NONE. Otherwise the function blocks until e_dbus_server_quit() is called.

If wait_for_client is TRUE, the server will continue running until the first client connection is made instead of quitting on its own if no client connection is made within the first few seconds.

Parameters

server

an EDBusServer

 

wait_for_client

continue running until a client connects

 

Returns

the exit code passed to e_dbus_server_quit()

e_dbus_server_quit (EDBusServer *server,
                    EDBusServerExitCode code);

Emits the “quit” signal with the given code .

By default the server will quit its main loop and cause e_dbus_server_run() to return code .
