shutdownPerformUpdateThread()

void shutdownPerformUpdateThread

(

)

Shutting down will stop the thread safely.

If an update is already in progress the function will return as soon as possible but will not force-terminate the thread.

Note

To force any running update processes to stop immediately a call to DcaInstance::signal() should be invoked.

There are separate implementations for Windows and Linux distributions.
