- <title>Description</title>
-
- <para><function>sd_event_add_io()</function> adds a new I/O 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>fd</parameter> parameter takes the UNIX file descriptor
- to watch, which may refer to a socket, a FIFO, a message queue, a
- serial connection, a character device, or any other file descriptor
- compatible with Linux
- <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>epoll</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>. The
- <parameter>events</parameter> parameter takes a bit mask of events
- to watch for, a combination of the following event flags:
- <constant>EPOLLIN</constant>, <constant>EPOLLOUT</constant>,
- <constant>EPOLLRDHUP</constant>, <constant>EPOLLPRI</constant>,
- and <constant>EPOLLET</constant>, see
- <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>epoll_ctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- for details. The <parameter>handler</parameter> shall reference a
- function to call when the event source is triggered. The
- <parameter>userdata</parameter> pointer will be passed to the
- handler function, and may be chosen freely by the caller. The
- handler will also be passed the file descriptor the event was seen
- on, as well as the actual event flags. It's generally a subset of
- the events watched, however may additionally include
- <constant>EPOLLERR</constant> and <constant>EPOLLHUP</constant>.
- </para>
-
- <para>By default, an event source will stay enabled
- continuously (<constant>SD_EVENT_ON</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. Note
- that an event source set to <constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant> will
- fire continuously unless data is read from or written to the file
- descriptor to reset the mask of events seen.
- </para>
-
- <para>Setting the I/O event mask to watch for to 0 does not mean
- that the event source won't be triggered anymore, as
- <constant>EPOLLHUP</constant> and <constant>EPOLLERR</constant>
- may be triggered even with a zero event mask. To temporarily
- disable an I/O event source use
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_set_enabled</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- with <constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant> instead.</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 if it is still referenced,
- disable the event source using
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_set_enabled</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- with <constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant>.</para>
-
- <para>If the second parameter of
- <function>sd_event_add_io()</function> is
- <constant>NULL</constant> 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>It is recommended to use
- <function>sd_event_add_io()</function> only in conjunction with
- file descriptors that have <constant>O_NONBLOCK</constant> set, to
- ensure that all I/O operations from invoked handlers are properly
- asynchronous and non-blocking. Using file descriptors without
- <constant>O_NONBLOCK</constant> might result in unexpected
- starvation of other event sources. See
- <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>fcntl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- for details on enabling <constant>O_NONBLOCK</constant> mode.</para>
-
- <para><function>sd_event_source_get_io_events()</function> retrieves
- the configured mask of watched I/O events of an event source created
- previously with <function>sd_event_add_io()</function>. It takes
- the event source object and a pointer to a variable to store the
- mask in.</para>
-
- <para><function>sd_event_source_set_io_events()</function>
- configures the mask of watched I/O events of an event source created
- previously with <function>sd_event_add_io()</function>. It takes the
- event source object and the new event mask.</para>
-
- <para><function>sd_event_source_get_io_revents()</function>
- retrieves the I/O event mask of currently seen but undispatched
- events from an event source created previously with
- <function>sd_event_add_io()</function>. It takes the event source
- object and a pointer to a variable to store the event mask
- in. When called from a handler function on the handler's event
- source object this will return the same mask as passed to the
- handler's <parameter>revents</parameter> parameter. This call is
- primarily useful to check for undispatched events of an event
- source from the handler of an unrelated (possibly higher priority)
- event source. Note the relation between
- <function>sd_event_source_get_pending()</function> and
- <function>sd_event_source_get_io_revents()</function>: both
- functions will report non-zero results when there's an event
- pending for the event source, but the former applies to all event
- source types, the latter only to I/O event sources.</para>
-
- <para><function>sd_event_source_get_io_fd()</function> retrieves
- the UNIX file descriptor of an event source created previously
- with <function>sd_event_add_io()</function>. It takes the event
- source object and returns the non-negative file descriptor
- or a negative error number on error (see below).</para>
-
- <para><function>sd_event_source_set_io_fd()</function>
- changes the UNIX file descriptor of an I/O event source created
- previously with <function>sd_event_add_io()</function>. It takes
- the event source object and the new file descriptor.</para>
