Interface org.ifarchive.glk.InterruptListener

public interface InterruptListener

Most platforms have some provision for interrupting a program -- command-period on the Macintosh, control-C in Unix, possibly a window manager menu item, or other possibilities. This can happen at any time, including while execution is nested inside one of your own functions, or inside a Glk library function.

If you need to clean up critical resources, you can specify an interrupt handler function.

In Java, do this by implementing the InterruptListener interface, and calling Glk.setInterruptHandler().

See Also:

setInterruptHandler

interrupt()

This function is called when Glk receives an interrupt.

 public abstract void interrupt()

This function is called when Glk receives an interrupt.

This handler will be called before the process is shut down.

You should not try to interact with the player in your interrupt handler. Do not call Glk.select() or Glk.selectPoll(). Anything you print to a window may not be visible to the player.
