Description
The gio.Cancellable
is a thread-safe operation cancellation stack used throughout GIO to allow for
cancellation of synchronous and asynchronous operations.
Constructor
gio.Cancellable()Returns : | a new
gio.Cancellable.
|
Creates a new gio.Cancellable object.
Applications that want to start one or more operations that should be cancellable should create a
gio.Cancellable
and pass it to the operations.
One gio.Cancellable
can be used in multiple consecutive operations, but not in multiple concurrent operations.
Methods
gio.Cancellable.cancel
def cancel()
The cancel() method will set cancellable to cancelled,
and will emit the "cancelled" signal. (However, see the warning about race conditions
in the documentation for that signal if you are planning to connect to it.)
This function is thread-safe. In other words, you can safely call it from a thread other than the one running the operation that was passed the cancellable.
The convention within gio is that cancelling an asynchronous operation causes it to complete asynchronously. That is, if you cancel the operation from the same thread in which it is running, then the operation's GAsyncReadyCallback will not be invoked until the application returns to the main loop.
gio.Cancellable.get_fd
def get_fd()Returns : | A valid file descriptor. -1 if the file descriptor is not supported, or on errors. |
The get_fd() method gets the file descriptor
for a cancellable job. This can be used to implement cancellable operations
on Unix systems. The returned fd will turn readable when cancellable is cancelled.
gio.Cancellable.is_cancelled
def is_cancelled()Returns : | True if cancellable is cancelled,
False if called with None or if
item is not cancelled. |
The get_fd() method gets the file descriptor
for a cancellable job. This can be used to implement cancellable operations
on Unix systems. The returned fd will turn readable when cancellable is cancelled.
gio.Cancellable.pop_current
def pop_current()
The pop_current() method pops cancellable off
the cancellable stack (verifying that cancellable is on the top of the stack).
gio.Cancellable.push_current
def push_current()
The push_current() method pushes cancellable onto
the cancellable stack. The current cancllable can then be recieved using
gio.cancellable_get_current().
Functions
gio.cancellable_get_current
def cancellable_get_current()Returns : | A gio.Cancellable
from the top of the stack, or None if the stack is empty. |
The cancellable_get_current() function gets the top cancellable from the stack.
