CFMessagePortCreateRunLoopSource(_:_:_:)

Creates a CFRunLoopSource object for a CFMessagePort object.

Declaration

func CFMessagePortCreateRunLoopSource(_ allocator: CFAllocator!, _ local: CFMessagePort!, _ order: CFIndex) -> CFRunLoopSource!

Parameters

allocator:
The allocator to use to allocate memory for the new object. Pass NULL or kCFAllocatorDefault to use the current default allocator.
local:
The message port for which to create a run loop source.
order:
A priority index indicating the order in which run loop sources are processed. order is currently ignored by CFMessagePort object run loop sources. Pass 0 for this value.

Return Value

The new CFRunLoopSource object for ms. Ownership follows the The Create Rule.

Discussion

The run loop source is not automatically added to a run loop. To add the source to a run loop, use CFRunLoopAddSource(_:_:_:).

Special Considerations

This method is not available on iOS 7 and later—it will return NULL and log a sandbox violation in syslog. See Concurrency Programming Guide for possible replacement technologies.
