<code class="function">glib.timeout_add</code>() except
that <em class="parameter"><code>interval</code></em> must be specified in seconds, not
milliseconds, and the function should cause less CPU wakeups, which is important
for laptops' batteries.</p><p>Unlike <code class="function">glib.timeout_add</code>(), this function operates at
whole second granularity. The initial starting point of the timer is determined
by the implementation and the implementation is expected to group multiple timers
together so that they fire all at the same time. To allow this grouping, the
interval to the first timer is rounded and can deviate up to one second from the
specified interval. Subsequent timer iterations will generally run at the
specified interval.</p><p>Note that timeout functions may be delayed, due to the processing of other
event sources. Thus they should not be relied on for precise timing. After each
call to the timeout function, the time of the next timeout is recalculated based
on the current time and the given interval.</p><p>The grouping of timers to fire at the same time results in a more power and
CPU efficient behavior so if your timer is in multiples of seconds and you don't
require the first timer exactly one second from now, the use of
<code class="function">glib.timeout_add_seconds</code>() is preferred
over <code class="function">glib.timeout_add</code>().</p></div><div class="refsect2" title="glib.io_add_watch"><a name="function-glib--io-add-watch"></a><h3>glib.io_add_watch</h3><pre class="programlisting"><code class="methodsynopsis"> def <span class="methodname">glib.io_add_watch</span>(<span class="methodparam"><span class="parameter"><em class="parameter"><code>fd</code></em></span></span>, <span class="methodparam"><span class="parameter"><em class="parameter"><code>condition</code></em></span></span>, <span class="methodparam"><span class="parameter"><em class="parameter"><code>callback</code></em></span></span>, <span class="methodparam"><span class="parameter"><em class="parameter"><code>...</code></em></span></span>)</code></pre><table border="0" width="100%" bgcolor="#FFECCE"><col align="left" valign="top" width="0*"><tbody><tr><td><p><span class="term"><em class="parameter"><code>fd</code></em> :</span></p></td><td>a Python file object or an integer file

a child program asynchronously (your program will not block waiting for the
child to exit). The child program is specified by the only argument that
must be provided, <em class="parameter"><code>argv</code></em>. <em class="parameter"><code>argv</code></em>
should be a sequence of strings, to be passed as the argument vector for the
child. The first string in <em class="parameter"><code>argv</code></em> is of course the name
of the program to execute. By default, the name of the program must be a
full path; the <code class="envar">PATH</code> shell variable will only be searched if
you pass the <code class="literal">glib.SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH</code> flag in
<em class="parameter"><code>flags</code></em>. The function returns a 4-tuple containing the
child's process id and the file descriptors for the child's stdin, stdout
and stderr. The stdin, stdout and stderr file descriptors are returned only
ofthe corresponding <em class="parameter"><code>standard_input</code></em>,
<em class="parameter"><code>standard_output</code></em> or
<em class="parameter"><code>standard_error</code></em> params are
<code class="literal">True</code>.</p><p>On Windows, the low-level child process creation API
(<code class="function">CreateProcess</code>()) doesn't use argument vectors, but a
command line. The C runtime library's <code class="function">spawn*</code>() family
of functions (which <a class="link" href="glib-functions.html#function-glib--spawn-async" title="glib.spawn_async"><code class="function">glib.spawn_async</code>()</a>
eventually calls) paste the argument vector elements into a command line,
and the C runtime startup code does a corresponding reconstruction of an
argument vector from the command line, to be passed to
<code class="function">main</code>(). Complications arise when you have argument
vector elements that contain spaces of double quotes. The
<code class="function">spawn*</code>() functions don't do any quoting or escaping,
but on the other hand the startup code does do unquoting and unescaping in
order to enable receiving arguments with embedded spaces or double
quotes. To work around this asymmetry, the <a class="link" href="glib-functions.html#function-glib--spawn-async" title="glib.spawn_async"><code class="function">glib.spawn_async</code>()</a>
function will do quoting and escaping on argument vector elements that need
it before calling the C runtime <code class="function">spawn</code>()
function.</p><p><em class="parameter"><code>envp</code></em> is a sequence of strings, where each
string has the form <code class="literal">KEY=VALUE</code>. This will become the
child's environment. If <em class="parameter"><code>envp</code></em> is
<em class="parameter"><code>None</code></em> or not specified, the child inherits its
parent's environment.</p><p><em class="parameter"><code>flags</code></em> should be the bitwise
<code class="literal">OR</code> of the <a class="xref" href="glib-constants.html#glib-spawn-flag-constants" title="Glib Spawn Flag Constants">Glib Spawn Flag Constants</a> you want to affect the
function's behaviour. The <code class="literal">glib.SPAWN_DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD</code>
flag means that the child will not automatically be reaped; you must use a
GChildWatch source to be notified about the death of the child
process. Eventually you must call g_spawn_close_pid() on the child_pid, in
order to free resources which may be associated with the child process. (On
Unix, using a GChildWatch source is equivalent to calling
<code class="function">waitpid</code>() or handling the <code class="literal">SIGCHLD</code>
signal manually. On Windows, calling g_spawn_close_pid() is equivalent to
calling <code class="function">CloseHandle</code>() on the process handle
returned).</p><p><code class="literal">glib.SPAWN_LEAVE_DESCRIPTORS_OPEN</code> means
that the parent's open file descriptors will be inherited by the child;
otherwise all descriptors except stdin/stdout/stderr will be closed before
calling <code class="function">exec</code>() in the
child. <code class="literal">glib.SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH</code> means that
<em class="parameter"><code>argv</code></em>[0] need not be an absolute path, it will be
looked for in the user's
<code class="envar">PATH</code>. <code class="literal">glib.SPAWN_STDOUT_TO_DEV_NULL</code>
means that the child's standard output will be discarded, instead of going
to the same location as the parent's standard output. If you use this flag,
<em class="parameter"><code>standard_output</code></em> must be
<code class="literal">None</code>. <code class="literal">glib.SPAWN_STDERR_TO_DEV_NULL</code>
means that the child's standard error will be discarded, instead of going to
the same location as the parent's standard error. If you use this flag,
<em class="parameter"><code>standard_error</code></em> must be
<code class="literal">None</code>. <code class="literal">glib.SPAWN_CHILD_INHERITS_STDIN</code>
means that the child will inherit the parent's standard input (by default,
the child's standard input is attached to
<code class="filename">/dev/null</code>). If you use this flag,
<em class="parameter"><code>standard_input</code></em> must be
<code class="literal">None</code>. <code class="literal">glib.SPAWN_FILE_AND_ARGV_ZERO</code>
means that the first element of <em class="parameter"><code>argv</code></em> is the file to
execute, while the remaining elements are the actual argument vector to pass
to the file. Normally the <a class="link" href="glib-functions.html#function-glib--spawn-async" title="glib.spawn_async"><code class="function">glib.spawn_async</code>()</a>
function uses <em class="parameter"><code>argv</code></em>[0] as the file to execute, and
passes all of <em class="parameter"><code>argv</code></em> to the child.</p><p><em class="parameter"><code>child_setup</code></em> and
<em class="parameter"><code>user_data</code></em> are a function and user data. On POSIX
platforms, the function is called in the child after GLib has performed all
the setup it plans to perform (including creating pipes, closing file
descriptors, etc.) but before calling <code class="function">exec</code>(). That is,
<em class="parameter"><code>child_setup</code></em> is called just before calling
<code class="function">exec</code>() in the child. Obviously actions taken in this
function will only affect the child, not the parent. On Windows, there is no
separate <code class="function">fork</code>() and <code class="function">exec</code>()
functionality. Child processes are created and run right away with one API
call,
<code class="function">CreateProcess</code>(). <em class="parameter"><code>child_setup</code></em> is
called in the parent process just before creating the child process. You
should carefully consider what you do in <em class="parameter"><code>child_setup</code></em>
if you intend your software to be portable to Windows.</p><p>The returned child process id can be used to send signals to the
child, or to wait for the child if you specified the
<code class="literal">glib.SPAWN_DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD</code> flag. On Windows, child
pid will be returned only if you specified the
<code class="literal">glib.SPAWN_DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD</code> flag.</p><p>The caller of the <a class="link" href="glib-functions.html#function-glib--spawn-async" title="glib.spawn_async"><code class="function">glib.spawn_async</code>()</a>
must close any returned file descriptors when they are no longer in
use.</p><p>If <em class="parameter"><code>standard_input</code></em> is
<code class="literal">None</code>, the child's standard input is attached to
<code class="filename">/dev/null</code> unless
<code class="literal">glib.SPAWN_CHILD_INHERITS_STDIN</code> is set.</p><p>If <em class="parameter"><code>standard_error</code></em> is
<code class="literal">None</code>, the child's standard error goes to the same
location as the parent's standard error unless
<code class="literal">glib.SPAWN_STDERR_TO_DEV_NULL</code> is set.</p><p>If <em class="parameter"><code>standard_output</code></em> is
<code class="literal">None</code>, the child's standard output goes to the same
location as the parent's standard output unless
