Macro windows_service::define_windows_service

macro_rules! define_windows_service {
    ($function_name:ident, $service_main_handler:ident) => { ... };
}

A macro to generate an entry point function (aka "service_main") for Windows service.

The $function_name function parses service arguments provided by the system and passes them with a call to $service_main_handler.

$function_name - name of the "service_main" callback.

$service_main_handler - function with a signature fn(Vec<OsString>) that's called from generated $function_name. Accepts parsed service arguments as Vec<OsString>. Its responsibility is to create a ServiceControlHandler, start processing control events and report the service status to the system.

Example

#[macro_use]
extern crate windows_service;

use std::ffi::OsString;

define_windows_service!(ffi_service_main, my_service_main);

fn my_service_main(arguments: Vec<OsString>) {
    // Service entry point
}
