set_callback
Description:
Sets the callback function for a source.
The callback for a source is called from the source's dispatch function.
The exact type of func
depends on the type of source; ie. you should not count on func
being called with data
as its first parameter. Cast func
with G_SOURCE_FUNC
to avoid warnings about incompatible function types.
See memory management of sources for details on how to handle memory management of data
.
Typically, you won't use this function. Instead use functions specific to the type of source you are using, such as g_idle_add
or
g_timeout_add
.
It is safe to call this function multiple times on a source which has already been attached to a context. The changes will take effect for the next time the source is dispatched after this call returns.
Note that destroy for a currently attached source has the effect of also unsetting the callback.
Parameters:

a function to call when |
