[g-a-devel] AT_BRIDGE_SHUTDOWN?

["Quiring, Sam" <Sam Quiring windriver com>]

Greetings,

I've seen some at-spi test cases and usages on the net, examples: http://foss.mnit.ac.in:8080/content/code/a/at-spi_1.7.11/S/181.html and http://forgecvs1.novell.com/viewcvs/ldtp/record/record.c?rev=1.1.  Each of these has a line like this near the end:

 

putenv ("AT_BRIDGE_SHUTDOWN=1");

 

What the heck does that line do?  I Googled for AT_BRIDGE_SHUTDOWN and found more instances where it is used, but no explanation.  How did the test authors know to put that line in their code?
