NAME         top

       sd_event_source_set_exit_on_failure,
       sd_event_source_get_exit_on_failure - Set or retrieve the
       exit-on-failure feature of event sources

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <systemd/sd-event.h>

       int sd_event_source_set_exit_on_failure(sd_event_source *source,
                                               int b);

       int sd_event_source_get_exit_on_failure(sd_event_source *source);

DESCRIPTION         top

       sd_event_source_set_exit_on_failure() may be used to set/unset
       the exit-on-failure flag of the event source object specified as
       source. The flag defaults to off. If on and the callback function
       set for the event source returns a failure code (i.e. a negative
       value) the event loop is exited too, using the callback return
       code as the exit code for sd_event_exit(3). If off, the event
       source is disabled but the event loop continues to run. Setting
       this flag is useful for "dominant" event sources that define the
       purpose and reason for the event loop, and whose failure hence
       should propagate to the event loop itself — as opposed to
       "auxiliary" event sources whose failures should remain local and
       affect the event source, but not propagate further.

       sd_event_source_get_exit_on_failure() may be used to query the
       flag currently set for the event source object source.

RETURN VALUE         top

       On success, sd_event_source_set_exit_on_failure() returns a
       non-negative integer.  sd_event_source_get_exit_on_failure()
       returns 0 if the flag is off, > 0 if the flag is on. On failure,
       both return a negative errno-style error code.

   Errors
       Returned errors may indicate the following problems:

       -EINVAL
           source is not a valid pointer to an sd_event_source object.

           Added in version 247.

       -EDOM
           The event source refers to an exit event source (as created
           with sd_event_add_exit(3)), for which this functionality is
           not supported.

           Added in version 247.

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_source_set_exit_on_failure() and
       sd_event_source_get_exit_on_failure() were added in version 247.
