NAME

       gspool_jobmon - set a function to monitor changes to jobs

       gspool_setmon - monitor job and printer list changes on Windows

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gspool.h>

       int gspool_jobmon(const int fd, void (*fn)(const int))

       int gspool_setmon(const int fd, HWND hWnd, UINT wMsg)

       int gspool_procmon(const int fd)

       void gspool_unsetmon(const int fd)

DESCRIPTION

   Unix and GNU/Linux
       The gspool_jobmon() function is used to set the function fn to be called upon notification
       of any changes to the jobs list.

       fd is a file descriptor previously returned by gspool_open.

       fn is a function which must be declared as returning void and taking one "const int"
       argument. Alternatively, this may be "NULL" to cancel monitoring.

       The function fn will be called upon each change to the job list. The argument passed will
       be fd. Note that any changes to the job queue are reported (including changes on other
       hosts whose details are passed through) as the API does not record which jobs the user is
       interested in.

   Windows
       The gspool_setmon routine may be used to monitor changes to the job queue or printer list.
       Its parameters are as follows.

       fd is a file descriptor previously returned by gspool_open.

       hWnd is a windows handle to which messages should be sent.

       wMsg is the message id to be passed to the window ("WM_USER" or a constant based on this
       is suggested).

       To decode the message, the gspool_procmon is provided. This returns "XTWINAPI_JOBPROD" to
       indicate a change or changes to the job queue and "XTWINAPI_PTRPROD" to indicate a change
       or changes to the printer list. If there are changes to both, two or more messages will be
       sent, each of which should be decoded via separate gspool_procmon calls.

       To cancel monitoring, invoke the routine

        gspool_unsetmon(fd)

       If no monitoring is in progress, or the descriptor is invalid, this call is just ignored.

RETURN VALUES

       The function gspool_jobmon() returns 0 if successful otherwise the error code
       "GSPOOL_INVALID_FD" if the file descriptor is invalid. Invalid fn parameters will not be
       detected and the application program will probably crash.
