the main loop

[Macartney, Geoff]

hi Sfora,

I found Kimmo Hämäläinen's post below very useful in figuring out how to construct a main loop, just writing in C.

Cheers
Geoff

Hi Thiago,

I'm writing a dbus service in C using libdbus. What dbus function
should I call periodically in my main loop ?

I thought I should call dbus_connection_read_write() because that's
what dbus-example.c
(http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus/dbus-example.c) use in its main
loop (in the listen mode)...

Thank you,
Sfora.
