Logically, this is better, because we're describing a subset of possible return values. Visually this also looks quite good because groff renders refsect2 much less prominently. Also rewrap things, add <constant> in various places, fix some typos.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The low-level <function>sd_event_prepare()</function>,
|
|
<function>sd_event_wait()</function> and
|
|
<function>sd_event_dispatch()</function> functions may be used to
|
|
execute specific phases of an event loop. See
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_run</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
and
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_loop</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for higher-level functions that execute individual but complete
|
|
iterations of an event loop or run it continuously.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_event_prepare()</function> checks for pending
|
|
events and arms necessary timers. If any events are ready to be
|
|
processed ("pending"), it returns a positive, non-zero value, and the caller
|
|
should process these events with
|
|
<function>sd_event_dispatch()</function>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_event_dispatch()</function> dispatches the
|
|
highest priority event source that has a pending event. On
|
|
success, <function>sd_event_dispatch()</function> returns either
|
|
zero, which indicates that no further event sources may be
|
|
dispatched and exiting of the event loop was requested via
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_exit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>;
|
|
or a positive non-zero value, which means that an event source was
|
|
dispatched and the loop returned to its initial state, and the
|
|
caller should initiate the next event loop iteration by invoking
|
|
<function>sd_event_prepare()</function> again.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>In case <function>sd_event_prepare()</function> returned
|
|
zero, <function>sd_event_wait()</function> should be called to
|
|
wait for further events or a timeout. If any events are ready to
|
|
be processed, it returns a positive, non-zero value, and the
|
|
events should be dispatched with
|
|
<function>sd_event_dispatch()</function>. Otherwise, the event
|
|
loop returned to its initial state and the next event loop
|
|
iteration should be initiated by invoking
|
|
<function>sd_event_prepare()</function> again.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_event_get_state()</function> may be used to
|
|
determine the state the event loop is currently in. It returns one
|
|
of the states described below.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_event_get_iteration()</function> may be used to determine the current iteration of the event
|
|
loop. It returns an unsigned 64bit integer containing a counter that increases monotonically with each iteration of
|
|
the event loop, starting with 0. The counter is increased at the time of the
|
|
<function>sd_event_prepare()</function> invocation.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>All five functions take, as the first argument, the event loop object <parameter>event</parameter> that has
|
|
been created with <function>sd_event_new()</function>. The timeout for <function>sd_event_wait()</function> is
|
|
specified in <parameter>usec</parameter> in microseconds. <constant>(uint64_t) -1</constant> may be used to
|
|
specify an infinite timeout.</para>
