Let's say there is a launchd daemon which runs a NSXPCListener for a named mach service, and that this daemon does not support sudden termination.

Question:

Is there a point in supporting the XPC_ERROR_TERMINATION_IMMINENT error in this daemon?

Assuming it's even possible with the NSXPC APIs.

Is there a point in supporting the XPC_ERROR_TERMINATION_IMMINENT
error in this daemon?

On the client side? Or the server side?

Does you actually see this error being returned to the server?

I'm in the process of converting existing XPC C code (from another developer) to NSXPC Obj-C code.

So I can't say and have no idea whether it ever has been seen by the original XPC C code.
