GLib.SourceFunc
Description: Reference for GLib.SourceFunc

### Function

# GLibSourceFunc

#### Declaration

    gboolean
    (* GSourceFunc) (
      gpointer user_data
    )

#### Description [src]

Specifies the type of function passed to `g_timeout_add()`, `g_timeout_add_full()`, `g_idle_add()`, and `g_idle_add_full()`.

When calling `g_source_set_callback()`, you may need to cast a function of a different type to this type. Use `G_SOURCE_FUNC()` to avoid warnings about incompatible function types.

#### Parameters

`user_data`

  Type: `gpointer`

  Data passed to the function, set when the source was created with one of the above functions.

  The argument can be `NULL`.
  The data is owned by the caller of the function.

#### Return value

Type: `gboolean`

`FALSE` if the source should be removed. `G_SOURCE_CONTINUE` and `G_SOURCE_REMOVE` are more memorable names for the return value.
