SD_EVENT_GET_FD(3)           sd_event_get_fd          SD_EVENT_GET_FD(3)

NAME         top

       sd_event_get_fd - Obtain a file descriptor to poll for event loop
       events

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <systemd/sd-event.h>

       int sd_event_get_fd(sd_event *event);

DESCRIPTION         top

       sd_event_get_fd() returns the file descriptor that an event loop
       object returned by the sd_event_new(3) function uses to wait for
       events. This file descriptor may itself be polled for
       POLLIN/EPOLLIN events. This makes it possible to embed an
       sd-event(3) event loop into another, possibly foreign, event
       loop.

       The returned file descriptor refers to an epoll(7) object. It is
       recommended not to alter it by invoking epoll_ctl(2) on it, in
       order to avoid interference with the event loop's inner logic and
       assumptions.

RETURN VALUE         top

       On success, sd_event_get_fd() returns a non-negative file
       descriptor. On failure, it returns a negative errno-style error
       code.

   Errors
       Returned errors may indicate the following problems:

       -EINVAL
           event is not a valid pointer to an sd_event structure.

       -ECHILD
           The event loop has been created in a different process,
           library or module instance.

NOTES         top

       Functions described here are available as a shared library, which
       can be compiled against and linked to with the
       libsystemd pkg-config(1) file.

       The code described here uses getenv(3), which is declared to be
       not multi-thread-safe. This means that the code calling the
       functions described here must not call setenv(3) from a parallel
       thread. It is recommended to only do calls to setenv() from an
       early phase of the program when no other threads have been
       started.

HISTORY         top

       sd_event_get_fd() was added in version 217.
