[scriptable, uuid(e9b0f89b-0529-4d96-98a8-eb5b2b9a8383)]

Constants

 The following flags may be passed as the aMode parameter to the quit
 method.  One and only one of the "Quit" flags must be specified.  The
 eRestart flag may be bit-wise combined with one of the "Quit" flags to
 cause the application to restart after it quits.


 Attempt to quit if all windows are closed.

const PRUint32 eConsiderQuit = 1

 Try to close all windows, then quit if successful.

const PRUint32 eAttemptQuit = 2

 Quit, damnit!

const PRUint32 eForceQuit = 3

 Restart the application after quitting.  The application will be
 restarted with the same profile and an empty command line.

const PRUint32 eRestart = 16

Methods

 Create the hidden window.

void createHiddenWindow()

 During application startup (and at other times!) we may temporarily
 encounter a situation where all application windows will be closed
 but we don't want to take this as a signal to quit the app. Bracket
 the code where the last window could close with these.
 (And at application startup, on platforms that don't normally quit
 when the last window has closed, call Enter once, but not Exit)

void enterLastWindowClosingSurvivalArea()

void exitLastWindowClosingSurvivalArea()

 Exit the event loop, and shut down the app.

 @param aMode
        This parameter modifies how the app is shutdown, and it is
        constructed from the constants defined above.

void quit(in PRUint32 aMode)

 Runs an application event loop: normally the main event pump which
 defines the lifetime of the application.

 @returnCode NS_SUCCESS_RESTART_APP
             This return code indicates that the application should be
             restarted because quit was called with the eRestart flag.
