SD_EVEN..._ENABLED(3) sd_event_source_set_enabled SD_EVEN..._ENABLED(3)
sd_event_source_set_enabled, sd_event_source_get_enabled,
SD_EVENT_ON, SD_EVENT_OFF, SD_EVENT_ONESHOT - Enable or disable
event sources
#include <systemd/sd-event.h>
enum {
SD_EVENT_OFF = 0,
SD_EVENT_ON = 1,
SD_EVENT_ONESHOT = -1,
};
int sd_event_source_set_enabled(sd_event_source *source,
int enabled);
int sd_event_source_get_enabled(sd_event_source *source,
int *ret);
sd_event_source_set_enabled() may be used to enable or disable the
event source object specified as source. The enabled parameter
takes one of SD_EVENT_ON (to enable), SD_EVENT_OFF (to disable) or
SD_EVENT_ONESHOT. If invoked with SD_EVENT_ONESHOT the event
source will be enabled but automatically reset to SD_EVENT_OFF
after one dispatch. For SD_EVENT_OFF, the event source source may
be NULL, in which case the function does nothing. Otherwise,
source must be a valid pointer to an sd_event_source object.
Event sources that are disabled will not result in event loop
wakeups and will not be dispatched, until they are enabled again.
sd_event_source_get_enabled() may be used to query whether the
event source object source is currently enabled or not. If both
the source and the output parameter ret are NULL, this function
returns false. Otherwise, source must be a valid pointer to an
sd_event_source object. If the output parameter ret is not NULL,
it is set to the enablement state (one of SD_EVENT_ON,
SD_EVENT_OFF, SD_EVENT_ONESHOT). The function also returns true if
the event source is not disabled.
Event source objects are enabled when they are first created with
calls such as sd_event_add_io(3), sd_event_add_time(3). However,
depending on the event source type they are enabled continuously
(SD_EVENT_ON) or only for a single invocation of the event source
handler (SD_EVENT_ONESHOT). For details see the respective manual
pages.
As event source objects stay active and may be dispatched as long
as there is at least one reference to them, in many cases it is a
good idea to combine a call to sd_event_source_unref(3) with a
prior call to sd_event_source_set_enabled() with SD_EVENT_OFF, to
ensure the event source is not dispatched again until all other
remaining references are dropped.
On success, sd_event_source_set_enabled() returns a non-negative
integer. sd_event_source_get_enabled() returns zero if the source
is disabled (SD_EVENT_OFF) and a positive integer otherwise. On
failure, they 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.
-ENOMEM
Not enough memory.
-ECHILD
The event loop has been created in a different process,
library or module instance.
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_source_set_enabled() and sd_event_source_get_enabled()
were added in version 229.
