SD_EVENT_GET_FD(3) | sd_event_get_fd | SD_EVENT_GET_FD(3) |
NAME¶
sd_event_get_fd - Obtain a file descriptor to poll for event loop events
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <systemd/sd-event.h>
int sd_event_get_fd(sd_event *event);
DESCRIPTION¶
sd_event_get_fd() returns the file descriptor that an event loop object returned by the sd_event_new(3) function uses to wait for events. This file descriptor may itself be polled for POLLIN/EPOLLIN events. This makes it possible to embed an sd-event(3) event loop into another, possibly foreign, event loop.
The returned file descriptor refers to an epoll(7) object. It is recommended not to alter it by invoking epoll_ctl(2) on it, in order to avoid interference with the event loop's inner logic and assumptions.
RETURN VALUE¶
On success, sd_event_get_fd() returns a non-negative file descriptor. On failure, it returns a negative errno-style error code.
Errors¶
Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
-EINVAL
-ECHILD

NOTES¶
Functions described here are available as a shared library, which can be compiled against and linked to with the libsystemd pkg-config(1) file.
The code described here uses getenv(3), which is declared to be not multi-thread-safe. This means that the code calling the functions described here must not call setenv(3) from a parallel thread. It is recommended to only do calls to setenv() from an early phase of the program when no other threads have been started.
HISTORY¶
sd_event_get_fd() was added in version 217.
