- <title>Description</title>
-
- <para><function>sd_event_add_child()</function> adds a new child
- process state change event source to an event loop. The event loop
- object is specified in the <parameter>event</parameter> parameter,
- the event source object is returned in the
- <parameter>source</parameter> parameter. The
- <parameter>pid</parameter> parameter specifies the PID of the
- process to watch. The <parameter>handler</parameter> must
- reference a function to call when the process changes state. The
- handler function will be passed the
- <parameter>userdata</parameter> pointer, which may be chosen
- freely by the caller. The handler also receives a pointer to a
- <structname>siginfo_t</structname> structure containing
- information about the child process event. The
- <parameter>options</parameter> parameter determines which state
- changes will be watched for. It must contain an OR-ed mask of
- <constant>WEXITED</constant> (watch for the child process
- terminating), <constant>WSTOPPED</constant> (watch for the child
- process being stopped by a signal), and
- <constant>WCONTINUED</constant> (watch for the child process being
- resumed by a signal). See <citerefentry
- project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>waitid</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- for further information.</para>
-
- <para>Only a single handler may be installed for a specific
- child process. The handler is enabled for a single event
- (<constant>SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</constant>), but this may be changed
- with
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_set_enabled</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
- If the handler function returns a negative error code, it will be
- disabled after the invocation, even if the
- <constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant> mode was requested before.
- </para>
-
- <para>To destroy an event source object use
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
- but note that the event source is only removed from the event loop
- when all references to the event source are dropped. To make sure
- an event source does not fire anymore, even when there's still a
- reference to it kept, consider setting the event source to
- <constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant> with
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_set_enabled</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
-
- <para>If the second parameter of
- <function>sd_event_add_child()</function> is passed as NULL no
- reference to the event source object is returned. In this case the
- event source is considered "floating", and will be destroyed
- implicitly when the event loop itself is destroyed.</para>
-
- <para>Note that the <parameter>handler</parameter> function is
- invoked at a time where the child process is not reaped yet (and
- thus still is exposed as a zombie process by the kernel). However,
- the child will be reaped automatically after the function
- returns. Child processes for which no child process state change
- event sources are installed will not be reaped by the event loop
- implementation.</para>
-
- <para>If both a child process state change event source and a
- <constant>SIGCHLD</constant> signal event source is installed in
- the same event loop, the configured event source priorities decide
- which event source is dispatched first. If the signal handler is
- processed first, it should leave the child processes for which
- child process state change event sources are installed unreaped.</para>
-
- <para><function>sd_event_source_get_child_pid()</function>
- retrieves the configured PID of a child process state change event
- source created previously with
- <function>sd_event_add_child()</function>. It takes the event
- source object as the <parameter>source</parameter> parameter and a
- pointer to a <type>pid_t</type> variable to return the process ID
- in.

- <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.</para>
