77 /* Any definitions using GPollFD or GPollFunc are primarily
78 * for Unix and not guaranteed to be the compatible on all
79 * operating systems on which GLib runs. Right now, the
80 * GLib does use these functions on Win32 as well, but interprets
81 * them in a fairly different way than on Unix. If you use
82 * these definitions, you are should be prepared to recode
83 * for different operating systems.
86 * On Win32, the fd in a GPollFD should be Win32 HANDLE (*not* a file
87 * descriptor as provided by the C runtime) that can be used by
88 * MsgWaitForMultipleObjects. This does *not* include file handles
89 * from CreateFile, SOCKETs, nor pipe handles. (But you can use
90 * WSAEventSelect to signal events when a SOCKET is readable).
92 * On Win32, fd can also be the special value G_WIN32_MSG_HANDLE to
93 * indicate polling for messages. These message queue GPollFDs should
94 * be added with the g_main_poll_win32_msg_add function.
96 * But note that G_WIN32_MSG_HANDLE GPollFDs should not be used by GDK
97 * (GTK) programs, as GDK itself wants to read messages and convert them
98 * to GDK events.
100 * So, unless you really know what you are doing, it's best not to try
101 * to use the main loop polling stuff for your own needs on
102 * Win32. It's really only written for the GIMP's needs so
103 * far.
