Detailed Description
The Handle holds the information, and allows manipulation, of a connection between a internal::Signal Handler function and the Signal itself.
It is returned by the connect() and setup() methods of Signal and can be used to (dis)connect a handler function from the signal. Handle objects may be assigned to each other and will always point to the same connection. If the last Handle object is destroyed, and is not connected, the connection is destroyed. Thus the resource management (deallocation) is handled by Orocos itself.
To inspect if the Handle points to a valid, existing connection, one can use :
Handle handle;
// ...
if ( !handle ) {
// not valid !
}
