Function

Metarestart

Declaration [src]

void
meta_restart (
  const char* message
)

Description [src]

Starts the process of restarting the compositor. Note that Mutter’s involvement here is to make the restart visually smooth for the user - it cannot itself safely reexec a program that embeds libmuttter. So in order for this to work, the compositor must handle two signals - MetaDisplay::show-restart-message, to display the message passed here on the Clutter stage, and ::restart to actually reexec the compositor.

Parameters

`message`	`const char*`
	Message to display to the user, or `NULL`.
	The argument can be `NULL`.
	The data is owned by the caller of the function.
	The string is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
