XtAppAddSignal(3)		 XT FUNCTIONS		     XtAppAddSignal(3)

NAME
       XtAppAddSignal,	XtRemoveSignal,	XtNoticeSignal - register and remove a
       signal source

SYNTAX
       #include	<X11/Intrinsic.h>

       XtSignalId XtAppAddSignal(XtAppContext  app_context,  XtSignalCallback-
	      Proc proc, XtPointer client_data);

       void XtRemoveSignal(XtSignalId id);

       void XtNoticeSignal(XtSignalId id);

ARGUMENTS
       app_context
		 Specifies the application context.

       client_data
		 Specifies  the	argument that is to be passed to the specified
		 procedure when	a signal has been raised.

       id	 Specifies the ID returned from	 the  corresponding  XtAppAdd-
		 Signal	call.

       proc	 Specifies  the	procedure that is to be	called when the	signal
		 has been raised.

DESCRIPTION
       The XtAppAddSignal function initiates a mechanism for handling  signals
       within the context of the Intrinsics.  Prior to establishing an operat-
       ing  system dependent signal handler the	application may	call XtAppAdd-
       Signal and store	the returned id	in a place accessible  to  the	signal
       handler.

       Upon receipt of a signal	from the operating system, the application may
       call  XtNoticeSignal  passing  the id returned by the call to XtAppAdd-
       Signal.

       XtNoticeSignal is the only  Intrinsics  function	 that  can  safely  be
       called  from  a	signal	handler.  If XtNoticeSignal is called multiple
       times before the	Intrinsics are able to invoke the registered callback,
       the callback is only called once.  Logically  the  Intrinsics  maintain
       "pending"  for  each registered callback.  This flag is initially False
       and is set to True by XtNoticeSignal; the Intrinsics invoke  the	 call-
       back  whenever  the flag	is True, and the flag is set to	False just be-
       fore the	callback is invoked.

       The XtRemoveSignal function is called to	remove the  specified  Intrin-
       sics  signal handler.  The client should	disable	the source of the sig-
       nal before calling XtRemoveSignal.
