Re: What's the difference between the UNIX signal and gtk signal?

Hi,

first, gtk-devel-list is for discussing development of GTK+. Questions
such as yours should be asked on gtk-list.

> What's the difference between the traditional UNIX signal and gtk signal? I read from some articles that gtk signal is implemented at user level, not at kernel level as UNIX signal does. As we know, UNIX signal can be used as a kind of IPC method, so, can the gtk signal  be used as IPC between two different gtk process?

Short answer: GTK+ (or GObject) signals have nothing to do with UNIX
signals.

Please ask your question again on gtk-list and I'll try to answer it
in more detail.


Salut, Sven
