<!-- ##### SECTION Short_Description ##### -->
Callbacks on file descriptors

<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
<para>
The functions in this section are used to establish
callbacks when some condition becomes true for
a file descriptor. They are currently just wrappers around
the <link linkend="glib-IO-Channels">IO Channel</link>
facility.

<!-- ##### FUNCTION gdk_input_add_full ##### -->


@source: 
@condition: 
@function: 
@data: 
@destroy: 
@Returns: 


<!-- ##### ENUM GdkInputCondition ##### -->
<para>
A set of bit flags used to specify conditions for which
an input callback will be triggered. The three members
of this enumeration correspond to the @readfds, 
@writefds, and @exceptfds arguments to the 
<function>select</function> system call.
</para>

@GDK_INPUT_READ: the file descriptor has become available for reading.
(Or, as is standard in Unix, a socket or pipe was closed
at the other end; this is the case if a subsequent read
on the file descriptor returns a count of zero.)
@GDK_INPUT_WRITE: the file descriptor has become available for writing.
@GDK_INPUT_EXCEPTION: an exception was raised on the file descriptor.

<!-- ##### USER_FUNCTION GdkInputFunction ##### -->
<para>
A callback function that will be called when some condition
occurs.
</para>

@data: the user data passed to gdk_input_add() or gdk_input_add_full().
@source: the source where the condition occurred.
@condition: the triggering condition.


<!-- ##### USER_FUNCTION GdkDestroyNotify ##### -->
<para>
A callback function called when a piece of user data is 
no longer being stored by GDK. Will typically free the
structure or object that @data points to.
</para>

@data: the user data.


<!-- ##### FUNCTION gdk_input_add ##### -->


@source: 
@condition: 
@function: 
@data: 
@Returns: 


<!-- ##### FUNCTION gdk_input_remove ##### -->
<para>
Remove a callback added with gdk_input_add() or 
gdk_input_add_full().
</para>

@tag: the tag returned when the callback was set up.
