void meta_exit

void meta_quit

(

MetaExitCode

code

)

Stops Metacity.

This tells the event loop to stop processing; it is rather dangerous to use this rather than meta_restart() because this will leave the user with no window manager. We generally do this only if, for example, the session manager asks us to; we assume the session manager knows what it's talking about.

Parameters:

code

The success or failure code to return to the calling process.

void meta_restart

(

void

)

Restarts Metacity.

In practice, this tells the event loop to stop processing, having first set the meta_restart_after_quit flag which tells Metacity to spawn an identical copy of itself before quitting. This happens on receipt of a _METACITY_RESTART_MESSAGE client event.
