/* How to listen for events (act as a Listener)...
1. Get handles for all the event sources you are interested in.
2. Initialise a listener
3. Attach sources to your listener.
- Sources can be attached or detached from a listener at any time.
- A source can be attached to more than one listener.
4. Loop on getting listener events
5. When finished detach all sources from the listener
How to create events (act as a Source)...
1. Provide a funtion to the application that returns a GSourceHandle (which can be a pointer to whatever the source wants)
2. Whenever a possible event occurs call geventGetSourceListener to get a pointer to a GSourceListener.
This will return NULL when there are no more listeners.
For each listener - check the flags to see if an event should be sent.
- use geventGetEvent() to get the event buffer supplied by the listener
and then call geventSendEvent to send the event.
- Note: geventGetEvent() may return FALSE to indicate the listener is currently not listening and
therefore no event should be sent. This situation enables the source to (optionally) flag
to the listener on its next wait that there have been missed events.
- Note: The GSourceListener pointer (and the GEvent buffer) are only valid between
the geventGetSourceListener call and either the geventSendEvent call or the next
geventGetSourceListener call.
- Note: All listeners must be processed for this event before anything else is processed.
