Specifically, depending on the <parameter>b</parameter> + boolean argument this will make sure the event loop wakes up in + regular intervals and sends watchdog notification messages to the + service manager, if this was requested by the service + manager. Watchdog support is determined with + <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_watchdog_enabled</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>, + and watchdog messages are sent with + <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_notify</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. See + the <varname>WatchdogSec=</varname> setting in + <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> + for details on how to enable watchdog support for a service and + the protocol used. The wake-up interval is chosen as half the + watchdog timeout declared by the service manager via the + <varname>$WATCHDOG_USEC</varname> environment variable. If the + service manager did not request watchdog notifications, or if the + process was not invoked by the service manager this call with a + true <parameter>b</parameter> parameter executes no + operation. Passing a false <parameter>b</parameter> parameter will + disable the automatic sending of watchdog notification messages if + it was enabled before. Newly allocated event loop objects have + this feature disabled.</para> + + <para>The first watchdog notification message is sent immediately + when <function>set_event_set_watchdog()</function> is invoked with + a true <parameter>b</parameter> parameter.</para> + + <para>The watchdog logic is designed to allow the service manager + to automatically detect services that ceased processing of + incoming events, and thus appear "hung". Watchdog notifications + are sent out only at the beginning of each event loop + iteration. If an event source dispatch function blocks for an + excessively long time and does not return execution to the event + loop quickly, this might hence cause the notification message to + be delayed, and possibly result in abnormal program termination, + as configured in the service unit file.</para> + + <para><function>sd_event_get_watchdog()</function> may be used to + determine whether watchdog support was previously requested by a + call to <function>sd_event_set_watchdog()</function> with a true + <parameter>b</parameter> parameter and successfully + enabled.</para> + </refsect1> + + <refsect1> + <title>Return Value</title> + + <para>On success, <function>sd_event_set_watchdog()</function> and + <function>sd_event_get_watchdog()</function> return a non-zero + positive integer if the service manager requested watchdog support + and watchdog support was successfully enabled.
