gSocketCreateSource {RGtk2} | R Documentation

## gSocketCreateSource

### Description

Creates a `GSource` that can be attached to a `GMainContext` to monitor for the availibility of the specified `condition` on the socket.

### Usage

    gSocketCreateSource(object, condition, cancellable = NULL)

### Arguments

``object`` | a `GSocket`
``condition`` | a `GIOCondition` mask to monitor
``cancellable`` | a `GCancellable` or `NULL`

### Details

The callback on the source is of the `GSocketSourceFunc` type.

It is meaningless to specify `G_IO_ERR` or `G_IO_HUP` in condition; these conditions will always be reported output if they are true. `cancellable` if not `NULL` can be used to cancel the source, which will cause the source to trigger, reporting the current condition (which is likely 0 unless cancellation happened at the same time as a condition change). You can check for this in the callback using `gCancellableIsCancelled`. Since 2.22

### Value

[GSource] a newly allocated `GSource`, free with `gSourceUnref()`.
