Prompted by https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2018-December/041817.html This also drops all references to select() from our manpages. It's 2018 after all, people should use poll(), or ppoll() or epoll().

<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
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_set_fd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> 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 time-out in µs to pass to to
|
|
<function>poll()</function> or a similar call when waiting for events on the specified bus connection. The returned
|
|
time-out 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 time-out. Note that the returned time-out should be considered only a maximum sleeping time. It
|
|
is permissible (and even expected) that shorter time-outs 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 relative and specified in
|
|
microseconds. When converting this value in order to pass it as third argument to <function>poll()</function>
|
|
(which expects milliseconds), care should be taken to 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>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
instead of plain <function>poll()</function>, which understands time-outs 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 time-out 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 function 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>
