<title>Description</title>
|
||
|
||
<para><function>sd_event_run()</function> can be used to run one
|
||
iteration of the event loop of libsystemd. This function waits
|
||
until an event to process is available, and dispatches a handler
|
||
for it. The <parameter>timeout</parameter> parameter specifices the
|
||
maximum time (in microseconds) to wait. <constant>(uint64_t)
|
||
-1</constant> may be used to specify an infinite timeout.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para><function>sd_event_loop</function> runs
|
||
<function>sd_event_wait</function> in a loop with a timeout of
|
||
infinity. This makes it suitable for the main event loop of a
|
||
program.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>The event loop object <parameter>event</parameter> is
|
||
created with
|
||
<function>sd_event_new</function>.
|
||
Events to wait for and their handlers can be registered with
|
||
<function>sd_event_add_time</function>,
|
||
<function>sd_event_add_child</function>,
|
||
<function>sd_event_add_signal</function>,
|
||
<function>sd_event_add_defer</function>,
|
||
<function>sd_event_add_exit</function>,
|
||
and
|
||
<function>sd_event_add_post</function>.
|
||
</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>For more fine-grained control,
|
||
<function>sd_event_prepare</function>,
|
||
<function>sd_event_wait</function>, and
|
||
<function>sd_event_dispatch</function> may be used. Along with
|
||
<function>sd_event_get_fd</function>, those functions make it
|
||
possible to integrate the libsystemd loop inside of another event
|
||
loop.</para>

|
||
<title>Return Value</title>
|
||
|
||
<para>On success, these functions return 0 or a positive integer.
|
||
On failure, they return a negative errno-style error code.
|
||
<function>sd_event_run</function> returns 0 if the event loop is
|
||
finished, and a positive value if it can be continued.</para>
