.SH "NAME"
sd_event_get_fd \- Obtain a file descriptor to poll for event loop events

#include <systemd/sd\-event\&.h>
.fi
.ft
.HP \w'int\ sd_event_get_fd('u
.BI "int sd_event_get_fd(sd_event\ *" "event" ");"
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBsd_event_get_fd()\fR
returns the file descriptor that an event loop object returned by the
\fBsd_event_new\fR(3)
function uses to wait for events\&. This file descriptor may itself be polled for
\fBPOLLIN\fR/\fBEPOLLIN\fR
events\&. This makes it possible to embed an
\fBsd-event\fR(3)
event loop into another, possibly foreign, event loop\&.
.PP
The returned file descriptor refers to an
\fBepoll\fR(7)
object\&. It is recommended not to alter it by invoking
\fBepoll_ctl\fR(2)
on it, in order to avoid interference with the event loop\*(Aqs inner logic and assumptions\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
On success,
\fBsd_event_get_fd()\fR
returns a non\-negative file descriptor\&. On failure, it returns a negative errno\-style error code\&.
.SS "Errors"
.PP
Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
.PP
\fB\-EINVAL\fR
.RS 4
\fIevent\fR
is not a valid pointer to an
sd_event
structure\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-ECHILD\fR
.RS 4
The event loop has been created in a different process, library or module instance\&.

.SH "NOTES"
.PP
Functions described here are available as a shared library, which can be compiled against and linked to with the
\fBlibsystemd\fR\ \&\fBpkg-config\fR(1)
file\&.
.PP
The code described here uses
\fBgetenv\fR(3), which is declared to be not multi\-thread\-safe\&. This means that the code calling the functions described here must not call
\fBsetenv\fR(3)
from a parallel thread\&. It is recommended to only do calls to
\fBsetenv()\fR
from an early phase of the program when no other threads have been started\&.
.SH "HISTORY"
.PP
\fBsd_event_get_fd()\fR
was added in version 217\&.
