<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_bus_get_fd()</function> returns the file descriptor used to communicate from
|
|
a message bus object. This descriptor can be used with
|
|
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>poll</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
or a similar function to wait for I/O events on the specified bus connection object. If the bus
|
|
object was configured with the <function>sd_bus_set_fd()</function> function, then the
|
|
<parameter>input_fd</parameter> file descriptor used in that call is returned.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_bus_get_events()</function> returns the I/O events to wait for, suitable for
|
|
passing to <function>poll()</function> or a similar call. Returns a combination of
|
|
<constant>POLLIN</constant>, <constant>POLLOUT</constant>, … events, or negative on error.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_bus_get_timeout()</function> returns the <emphasis>absolute</emphasis> time-out in μs,
|
|
from which the relative time-out to pass to <function>poll()</function> (or a similar call) can be
|
|
derived, when waiting for events on the specified bus connection. The returned timeout may be zero, in
|
|
which case a subsequent I/O polling call should be invoked in non-blocking mode. The returned timeout may
|
|
be <constant>UINT64_MAX</constant> in which case the I/O polling call may block indefinitely, without any
|
|
applied timeout. Note that the returned timeout should be considered only a maximum sleeping time. It is
|
|
permissible (and even expected) that shorter timeouts are used by the calling program, in case other
|
|
event sources are polled in the same event loop. Note that the returned time-value is absolute, based of
|
|
<constant>CLOCK_MONOTONIC</constant> and specified in microseconds. When converting this value in order
|
|
to pass it as third argument to <function>poll()</function> (which expects relative milliseconds), care
|
|
should be taken to convert to a relative time and use a division that rounds up to ensure the I/O polling
|
|
operation doesn't sleep for shorter than necessary, which might result in unintended busy looping
|
|
(alternatively, use <citerefentry
|
|
project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>ppoll</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry> instead
|
|
of plain <function>poll()</function>, which understands timeouts with nano-second granularity).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>These three functions are useful to hook up a bus connection object with an external or
|
|
manual event loop involving <function>poll()</function> or a similar I/O polling call. Before
|
|
each invocation of the I/O polling call, all three functions should be invoked: the file
|
|
descriptor returned by <function>sd_bus_get_fd()</function> should be polled for the events
|
|
indicated by <function>sd_bus_get_events()</function>, and the I/O call should block for that up
|
|
to the timeout returned by <function>sd_bus_get_timeout()</function>. After each I/O polling
|
|
call the bus connection needs to process incoming or outgoing data, by invoking
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_process</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that these functions are only one of three supported ways to implement I/O event
|
|
handling for bus connections. Alternatively use
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_attach_event</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
to attach a bus connection to an
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-event</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
event loop. Or use
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_wait</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
as a simple synchronous, blocking I/O waiting call.</para>

<title>Return Value</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>On success, <function>sd_bus_get_fd()</function> returns the file descriptor used for

|
communication. On failure, it returns a negative errno-style error code.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>On success, <function>sd_bus_get_events()</function> returns the I/O event mask to use for
|
|
I/O event watching. On failure, it returns a negative errno-style error code.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>On success, <function>sd_bus_get_timeout()</function> returns a non-negative integer. On
|

failure, it returns a negative errno-style error code.</para>
