Task.setName

void setName(string name = null)

Sets task’s name, used in debugging and profiling. The name defaults to null.

The task name should describe in a human readable way what the task does. For example, ‘Open file’ or ‘Connect to network host’. It is used to set the name of the #GSource used for idle completion of the task.

This function may only be called before the task is first used in a thread other than the one it was constructed in. It is called automatically by [gio.task.Task.setSourceTag] if not called already.

Parameters

namea human readable name for the task, or null to unset it
