35 * main one should block signals that are trapped by the main loop.
36 * For simplicity, you can consider these signals to be safe: SIGUSR1,
37 * SIGUSR2, thread signals (SIGFPE, SIGILL, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS) and real-time
38 * signals if available. Remember that Windows in practice does not have
39 * signals, though.

58 * If @nonblocking is true, poll for events, otherwise suspend until

60 * repeatedly calls main_loop_wait(false).
62 * Main loop services include file descriptor callbacks, bottom halves
63 * and timers (defined in qemu-timer.h). Bottom halves are similar to timers
64 * that execute immediately, but have a lower overhead and scheduling them
65 * is wait-free, thread-safe and signal-safe.
67 * It is sometimes useful to put a whole program in a coroutine. In this
68 * case, the coroutine actually should be started from within the main loop,
69 * so that the main loop can run whenever the coroutine yields. To do this,
70 * you can use a bottom half to enter the coroutine as soon as the main loop

115 * Polling callbacks do not ensure that @func is called timely, because
116 * the main loop might wait for an arbitrarily long time. If possible,
117 * you should instead create a separate thread that does a blocking poll
118 * and set a Win32 event object. The event can then be passed to

122 * as they are a hack and are currently not necessary under POSIX systems,
123 * they are only available when QEMU is running under Windows.

186 * 2) if @fd_read is not %NULL, when the file descriptor is readable.

191 * A typical example is when @fd is a listening socket and you want to bound
192 * the number of active clients. Remember to call qemu_notify_event whenever
193 * the condition may change from %false to %true.
195 * The callbacks that are set up by qemu_set_fd_handler2 are level-triggered.

316 * and call waitpid as soon as it exits; the watch is then removed
317 * automatically. It is useful whenever QEMU forks a child process
318 * but will find out about its termination by other means such as a
