### Detailed Description

A `GThreadedSocketService` is a simple subclass of `GSocketService` that handles incoming connections by creating a worker thread and dispatching the connection to it by emitting the ::run signal in the new thread.

The signal handler may perform blocking IO and need not return until the connection is closed.

The service is implemented using a thread pool, so there is a limited amount of threads availible to serve incomming requests. The service automatically stops the `GSocketService` from accepting new connections when all threads are busy.

As with `GSocketService`, you may connect to `"run"`, or subclass and override the default handler.

### Structures

`GThreadedSocketService`

  A helper class for handling accepting incomming connections in the glib mainloop and handling them in a thread. Since 2.22

### Convenient Construction

`gThreadedSocketService` is the equivalent of `gThreadedSocketServiceNew`.

### Signals

`run(service, connection, source.object, user.data)`

  The ::run signal is emitted in a worker thread in response to an incoming connection. This thread is dedicated to handling `connection` and may perform blocking IO. The signal handler need not return until the connection is closed.

  `service`

    the `GThreadedSocketService`.

  `connection`

    a new `GSocketConnection` object.

  `source.object`

    the source_object passed to `gSocketListenerAddAddress`.

  `user.data`

    user data set when the signal handler was connected.

  Returns: [logical] `TRUE` to stope further signal handlers from being called

### Properties

`max-threads` [integer : Read / Write / Construct Only]

  The max number of threads handling clients for this service. Allowed values: >= -1 Default value: 10
