DESCRIPTION
The low-level sd_event_prepare(), sd_event_wait() and
sd_event_dispatch() functions may be used to execute specific phases of
an event loop. See sd_event_run(3) and sd_event_loop(3) for
higher-level functions that execute individual but complete iterations
of an event loop or run it continuously.
sd_event_prepare() checks for pending events and arms necessary timers.
If any events are ready to be processed ("pending"), it returns a
positive, non-zero value, and the caller should process these events
with sd_event_dispatch().
sd_event_dispatch() dispatches the highest priority event source that
has a pending event. On success, sd_event_dispatch() returns either
zero, which indicates that no further event sources may be dispatched
and exiting of the event loop was requested via sd_event_exit(3); or a
positive non-zero value, which means that an event source was
dispatched and the loop returned to its initial state, and the caller
should initiate the next event loop iteration by invoking
sd_event_prepare() again.
In case sd_event_prepare() returned zero, sd_event_wait() should be
called to wait for further events or a timeout. If any events are ready
to be processed, it returns a positive, non-zero value, and the events
should be dispatched with sd_event_dispatch(). Otherwise, the event
loop returned to its initial state and the next event loop iteration
should be initiated by invoking sd_event_prepare() again.
sd_event_get_state() may be used to determine the state the event loop
is currently in. It returns one of the states described below.
sd_event_get_iteration() may be used to determine the current iteration
of the event loop. It returns an unsigned 64bit integer containing a
counter that increases monotonically with each iteration of the event
loop, starting with 0. The counter is increased at the time of the
sd_event_prepare() invocation.
All five functions take, as the first argument, the event loop object
event that has been created with sd_event_new(). The timeout for
sd_event_wait() is specified in usec in microseconds. (uint64_t) -1
may be used to specify an infinite timeout.
STATE MACHINE
The event loop knows the following states, that may be queried with
sd_event_get_state().
SD_EVENT_INITIAL
The initial state the event loop is in, before each event loop
iteration. Use sd_event_prepare() to transition the event loop into
the SD_EVENT_ARMED or SD_EVENT_PENDING states.
SD_EVENT_PREPARING
An event source is currently being prepared, i.e. the preparation
handler is currently being executed, as set with
sd_event_source_set_prepare(3). This state is only seen in the
event source preparation handler that is invoked from the
sd_event_prepare() call and is immediately followed by
SD_EVENT_ARMED or SD_EVENT_PENDING.
SD_EVENT_ARMED
sd_event_prepare() has been called and no event sources were ready
to be dispatched. Use sd_event_wait() to wait for new events, and
transition into SD_EVENT_PENDING or back into SD_EVENT_INITIAL.
SD_EVENT_PENDING
sd_event_prepare() or sd_event_wait() have been called and there
were event sources with events pending. Use sd_event_dispatch() to
dispatch the highest priority event source and transition back to
SD_EVENT_INITIAL, or SD_EVENT_FINISHED.
SD_EVENT_RUNNING
A regular event source is currently being dispatched. This state is
only seen in the event source handler that is invoked from the
sd_event_dispatch() call, and is immediately followed by
SD_EVENT_INITIAL or SD_EVENT_FINISHED as soon the event source
handler returns. Note that during dispatching of exit event sources
the SD_EVENT_EXITING state is seen instead.
SD_EVENT_EXITING
Similar to SD_EVENT_RUNNING but is the state in effect while
dispatching exit event sources. It is followed by SD_EVENT_INITIAL
or SD_EVENT_FINISHED as soon as the event handler returns.
SD_EVENT_FINISHED
The event loop has exited. All exit event sources have run. If the
event loop is in this state it serves no purpose anymore, and
should be freed.
A simplified flow chart of the states and the calls to transition
between them is shown below. Note that SD_EVENT_PREPARING,
SD_EVENT_RUNNING and SD_EVENT_EXITING are not shown here.

RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return 0 or a positive integer. On failure,
they return a negative errno-style error code. In case of
sd_event_prepare() and sd_event_wait(), a positive, non-zero return
code indicates that events are ready to be processed and zero indicates
that no events are ready. In case of sd_event_dispatch(), a positive,
non-zero return code indicates that the event loop returned to its
initial state and zero indicates the event loop has exited.
sd_event_get_state() returns a positive or zero state on success.
Errors
Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
-EINVAL
The event parameter is invalid or NULL.
-EBUSY
The event loop object is not in the right state.
-ESTALE
The event loop is already terminated.
-ECHILD
The event loop has been created in a different process.
Other errors are possible, too.
NOTES
These APIs are implemented as a shared library, which can be compiled
and linked to with the libsystemd pkg-config(1) file.
