From ee531d949c2f62374fc109252f8cbe61c2b8ee39 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lennart Poettering Date: Thu, 4 Apr 2013 17:22:28 +0200 Subject: journal: add public API call sd_journal_get_events() This function should be used when filling in "struct pollfd"'s .events field for watching the journal. It will always return POLLIN for now, but we should keep our options open to change this later on. This mimics libsystemd-bus' sd_bus_get_events() call with the same purpose. --- man/sd_journal_get_fd.xml | 69 +++++++++++++++++++++++++------------- src/journal/journalctl.c | 1 - src/journal/libsystemd-journal.sym | 5 +++ src/journal/sd-journal.c | 13 +++++++ src/systemd/sd-journal.h | 1 + 5 files changed, 64 insertions(+), 25 deletions(-) diff --git a/man/sd_journal_get_fd.xml b/man/sd_journal_get_fd.xml index 3fc9c5f5b5..e57431ea9e 100644 --- a/man/sd_journal_get_fd.xml +++ b/man/sd_journal_get_fd.xml @@ -44,6 +44,7 @@ sd_journal_get_fd + sd_journal_get_events sd_journal_reliable_fd sd_journal_process sd_journal_wait @@ -63,6 +64,11 @@ sd_journal* j + + int sd_journal_get_events + sd_journal* j + + int sd_journal_reliable_fd sd_journal* j @@ -87,26 +93,35 @@ sd_journal_get_fd() returns a file descriptor that may be asynchronously polled in - an external event loop and is signaled readable as - soon as the journal changes, because new entries or - files were added, rotation took place, or files have - been deleted, and similar.
