SD_EVENT_...GNAL_EXIT(3) sd_event_set_signal_exitSD_EVENT_...GNAL_EXIT(3)
sd_event_set_signal_exit - Automatically leave event loop on
SIGINT and SIGTERM
#include <systemd/sd-event.h>
int sd_event_set_signal_exit(sd_event *event, int b);
sd_event_set_signal_exit() may be used to ensure the event loop
terminates once a SIGINT or SIGTERM signal is received. It is a
convenience wrapper around invocations of sd_event_add_signal(3)
for both signals. The two signals are automatically added to the
calling thread's signal mask (if a program is multi-threaded care
should be taken to either invoke this function before the first
thread is started or to manually block the two signals
process-wide first).
If the parameter b is specified as true, the event loop will
terminate on SIGINT and SIGTERM. If specified as false, it will no
longer. When this functionality is turned off the calling thread's
signal mask is restored to match the state before it was turned
on, for the two signals. By default, the two signals are not
handled by the event loop, and Linux' default signal handling for
them is in effect.
It is customary for UNIX programs to exit on either of these two
signals, hence it is typically a good idea to enable this
functionality for the main event loop of a program.
sd_event_set_signal_exit() returns a positive non-zero value when
the setting was successfully changed. It returns a zero when the
specified setting was already in effect. On failure, it returns a
negative errno-style error code.
Errors
Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
-ECHILD
The event loop has been created in a different process,
library or module instance.
Added in version 252.
-EINVAL
The passed event loop object was invalid.
Added in version 252.
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.
sd_event_set_signal_exit() was added in version 252.
