<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_event_add_child()</function> adds a new child
process state change event source to an event loop. 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>pid</parameter> parameter specifies the PID of the
process to watch. The <parameter>handler</parameter> must
reference a function to call when the process changes state. The
handler function will be passed the
<parameter>userdata</parameter> pointer, which may be chosen
freely by the caller. The handler also receives a pointer to a
<structname>siginfo_t</structname> structure containing
information about the child process event. The
<parameter>options</parameter> parameter determines which state
changes will be watched for. It must contain an OR-ed mask of
<constant>WEXITED</constant> (watch for the child process
terminating), <constant>WSTOPPED</constant> (watch for the child
process being stopped by a signal), and
<constant>WCONTINUED</constant> (watch for the child process being
resumed by a signal). See <citerefentry
project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>waitid</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for further information.</para>
<para>Only a single handler may be installed for a specific
child process. The handler is enabled for a single event
(<constant>SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</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.
</para>
<para>To destroy an event source object use
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
but note that the event source is only removed from the event loop
when all references to the event source are dropped. To make sure
an event source does not fire anymore, even when there's still a
reference to it kept, consider setting the event source to
<constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant> with
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_set_enabled</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
<para>If the second parameter of
<function>sd_event_add_child()</function> is passed as NULL no
reference to the event source object is returned. In this case the
event source is considered "floating", and will be destroyed
implicitly when the event loop itself is destroyed.</para>
<para>Note that the <parameter>handler</parameter> function is
invoked at a time where the child process is not reaped yet (and
thus still is exposed as a zombie process by the kernel). However,
the child will be reaped automatically after the function
returns. Child processes for which no child process state change
event sources are installed will not be reaped by the event loop
implementation.</para>
<para>If both a child process state change event source and a
<constant>SIGCHLD</constant> signal event source is installed in
the same event loop, the configured event source priorities decide
which event source is dispatched first. If the signal handler is
processed first, it should leave the child processes for which
child process state change event sources are installed unreaped.</para>
<para><function>sd_event_source_get_child_pid()</function>
retrieves the configured PID of a child process state change event
source created previously with
<function>sd_event_add_child()</function>. It takes the event
source object as the <parameter>source</parameter> parameter and a
pointer to a <type>pid_t</type> variable to return the process ID
in.

<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On success, these functions return 0 or a positive
integer. On failure, they return a negative errno-style error
code.</para>
