Subject: Reading D-Bus messages
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2009 11:43:37 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <nq1vnhl646.fsf@alcatel-lucent.de> (raw)
Hi,
D-Bus messages are arriving to Emacs asynchronously. Unfortunately, there
is no trigger mechanism which notifies the arrival of a message; one must
poll for new incoming messages via dbus_connection_read_write().
The call of this method is wrapped by xd_read_queued_messages() of
dbusbind.c, which is called in gobble_input() (see keyboard.c). D-Bus
messages are converted into Emacs events, and stored via
kbd_buffer_store_event().
This works fine, as long as Emacs runs in a window manager. redisplay()
runs periodically, which includes reading the D-Bus messages.
When Emacs is started in a terminal, this does not work anymore. The
input handling seems to wait for keyboard interrupts and alike, and does
NOT poll anymore, whether there are other incoming events.
How shall xd_read_queued_messages() be activated in such a case?
Best regards, Michael.
