The event loop object is specified in the + <parameter>event</parameter> parameter, the event source object is + returned in the <parameter>source</parameter> parameter. The + <parameter>fd</parameter> parameter takes the UNIX file descriptor + to watch, which may refer to a socket, a FIFO, a message queue, a + serial connection, a character device, or any other file descriptor + compatible with Linux + <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>epoll</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>. The + <parameter>events</parameter> parameter takes a bit mask of events + to watch for, a combination of the following event flags: + <constant>EPOLLIN</constant>, <constant>EPOLLOUT</constant>, + <constant>EPOLLRDHUP</constant>, <constant>EPOLLPRI</constant>, + and <constant>EPOLLET</constant>, see + <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>epoll_ctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry> + for details. The <parameter>handler</parameter> shall reference a + function to call when the event source is triggered. The + <parameter>userdata</parameter> pointer will be passed to the + handler function, and may be chosen freely by the caller. The + handler will also be passed the file descriptor the event was seen + on, as well as the actual event flags. It's generally a subset of + the events watched, however may additionally include + <constant>EPOLLERR</constant> and <constant>EPOLLHUP</constant>. + </para> + + <para>By default, an event source will stay enabled + continuously (<constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant>), but this may be + changed with + <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_set_enabled</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. + If the handler function returns a negative error code, it will be + disabled after the invocation, even if the + <constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant> mode was requested before. Note + that an event source set to <constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant> will + fire continuously unless data is read from or written to the file + descriptor to reset the mask of events seen. + </para> + + <para>Setting the I/O event mask to watch for to 0 does not mean + that the event source won't be triggered anymore, as + <constant>EPOLLHUP</constant> and <constant>EPOLLERR</constant> + may be triggered even with a zero event mask.

It takes the event source + object and a pointer to a variable to store the event mask + in. When called from a handler function on the handler's event + source object this will return the same mask as passed to the + handler's <parameter>revents</parameter> parameter. This call is + primarily useful to check for undispatched events of an event + source from the handler of an unrelated (possibly higher priority) + event source. Note the relation between + <function>sd_event_source_get_pending()</function> and + <function>sd_event_source_get_io_revents()</function>: both + functions will report non-zero results when there's an event + pending for the event source, but the former applies to all event + source types, the latter only to I/O event sources.</para> + + <para><function>sd_event_source_get_io_fd()</function> retrieves + the UNIX file descriptor of an event source created previously + with <function>sd_event_add_io()</function>.
