# Function glib::source::idle_add [−] [src]

    pub fn idle_add<F>(func: F) -> SourceId where
        F: FnMut() -> Continue + Send + 'static,

Adds a closure to be called by the default main loop when it's idle.

`func` will be called repeatedly until it returns `Continue(false)`.

The default main loop almost always is the main loop of the main thread. Thus the closure is called on the main thread.

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
