- <title>Description</title>
-
- <para><function>sd_event_source_set_priority()</function> may be
- used to set the priority for the event source object specified as
- <parameter>source</parameter>. The priority is specified as an
- arbitrary signed 64bit integer. The priority is initialized to
- <constant>SD_EVENT_PRIORITY_NORMAL</constant> (0) when the event
- source is allocated with a call such as
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_io</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- or
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_time</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
- and may be changed with this call. If multiple event sources have seen events at the same time, they are dispatched in the order indicated by the
- event sources' priorities. Event sources with smaller priority
- values are dispatched first. As well-known points of reference,
- the constants <constant>SD_EVENT_PRIORITY_IMPORTANT</constant>
- (-100), <constant>SD_EVENT_PRIORITY_NORMAL</constant> (0) and
- <constant>SD_EVENT_PRIORITY_IDLE</constant> (100) may be used to
- indicate event sources that shall be dispatched early, normally or
- late. It is recommended to specify priorities based on these
- definitions, and relative to them — however, the full 64bit
- signed integer range is available for ordering event
- sources.</para>
-
- <para>Priorities define the order in which event sources that have
- seen events are dispatched. Care should be taken to ensure that
- high-priority event sources (those with negative priority values
- assigned) do not cause starvation of low-priority event sources
- (those with positive priority values assigned).</para>
-
- <para>The order in which event sources with the same priority are
- dispatched is undefined, but the event loop generally tries to
- dispatch them in the order it learnt about events on them. As the
- backing kernel primitives do not provide accurate information
- about the order in which events occurred this is not necessarily
- reliable. However, it is guaranteed that if events are seen on
- multiple same-priority event sources at the same time, each one is
- not dispatched again until all others have been dispatched
- once. This behavior guarantees that within each priority
- particular event sources do not starve or dominate the event
- loop.</para>
-
- <para><function>sd_event_source_get_priority()</function> may be
- used to query the current priority assigned to the event source
- object <parameter>source</parameter>.</para>

- <para>On success,

- errno-style error code.</para>
