You can add some watch, as:
g_io_add_watch (channel, G_IO_HUP, function, NULL);

Where function has the following prototype:

static gboolean
function (GIOChannel *channel, GIOCondition condition, gpointer data)
{
     ...
     if (condition & G_IO_HUP) {
        do_something;
     }

     return FALSE;
}
