Create a new SocketService

Stops the service, i.e. stops accepting connections from the added sockets when the mainloop runs.

This call is thread-safe, so it may be called from a thread handling an incoming client request.

Note that this only stops accepting new connections; it does not close the listening sockets, and you can call g_socket_service_start() again later to begin listening again. To close the listening sockets, call g_socket_listener_close(). (This will happen automatically when the #GSocketService is finalized.)

This must be called before calling g_socket_listener_close() as the socket service will start accepting connections immediately when a new socket is added.

Restarts the service, i.e. start accepting connections from the added sockets when the mainloop runs. This only needs to be called after the service has been stopped from g_socket_service_stop().

This call is thread-safe, so it may be called from a thread handling an incoming client request.

Check whether the service is active or not. An active service will accept new clients that connect, while a non-active service will let connecting clients queue up until the service is started.
