## Object Hierarchy

        GObject
        ╰── GCutEventLoop
            ╰── GCutGLibEventLoop

## Description

GCutEventLoop encapsulates event loop. For example, event loop is used in GCutProcess. It uses the GLib's default main context for it.

Normally, a custom GCutEventLoop isn't required. It is needed some special case. For example, using libev as event loop backend instead of GLib's main loop.

GCutter provides GCutEventLoop for GLib's main context and main loop, GCutGLibEventLoop.

## Functions

### gcut_event_loop_error_quark ()

    GQuark
    gcut_event_loop_error_quark (void);

### gcut_event_loop_run ()

    void
    gcut_event_loop_run (GCutEventLoop *loop);

Runs the given event loop until `gcut_event_loop_quit()` is called on the loop.

#### Parameters

loop | a GCutEventLoop. |

Since: 1.1.6

### gcut_event_loop_iterate ()

    gboolean
    gcut_event_loop_iterate (GCutEventLoop *loop,
                             gboolean may_block);

Runs a single iteration for the given event loop. If no events are ready and `may_block` is `TRUE`, waiting for a event become ready. Otherwise, if `may_block` is `FALSE`, events are not waited to become ready.

#### Parameters

loop | a GCutEventLoop. |
may_block | whether the call may block. |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if a event was dispatched.

Since: 1.1.6

### gcut_event_loop_quit ()
