From 6c8fa83ecd3f40a8e2fec890caaaa955f9d4255c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew I Date: Sat, 8 Sep 2012 14:44:26 -0400 Subject: Add shutdown hook interface to Lua API Scripts can call minetest.register_on_shutdown() to register a shutdown hook. Document that minetest.register_on_shutdown() callbacks may not be run If the server crashes, it is unlikely that callbacks registered using minetest.register_on_shutdown() will be called. --- doc/lua_api.txt | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) (limited to 'doc') diff --git a/doc/lua_api.txt b/doc/lua_api.txt index 550716cef..e32efc6df 100644 --- a/doc/lua_api.txt +++ b/doc/lua_api.txt @@ -792,6 +792,11 @@ minetest.register_craft(recipe) Global callback registration functions: (Call these only at load time) minetest.register_globalstep(func(dtime)) ^ Called every server step, usually interval of 0.05s +minetest.register_on_shutdown(func()) +^ Called before server shutdown +^ WARNING: If the server terminates abnormally (i.e. crashes), the registered + callbacks WILL LIKELY NOT BE RUN.
