66  * following differences
67  *
68  *  - Use QOM to properly support arbitrary subclassing
69  *  - Support use of iovecs for efficient I/O with multiple blocks
70  *  - None of the character set translation, binary data exclusively
71  *  - Direct support for QEMU Error object reporting
72  *  - File descriptor passing
73  *
74  * This base class is abstract so cannot be instantiated. There
75  * will be subclasses for dealing with sockets, files, and higher
76  * level protocols such as TLS, WebSocket, etc.

452  * @notify: callback to free @user_data
453  *
454  * Create a new main loop source that is used to watch
455  * for the I/O condition @condition. The callback @func
456  * will be registered against the source, to be invoked
457  * when the source becomes ready. The optional @user_data
458  * will be passed to @func when it is invoked. The @notify
459  * callback will be used to free @user_data when the
460  * watch is deleted
461  *
462  * The returned source ID can be used with g_source_remove()
463  * to remove and free the source when no longer required.
464  * Alternatively the @func callback can return a FALSE
465  * value.
466  *
467  * Returns: the source ID
