.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBsd_bus_attach_event()\fR
attaches the specified bus connection object to an
\fBsd-event\fR(3)
event loop object at the specified priority (see
\fBsd_event_source_set_priority\fR(3)
for details on event loop priorities)\&. When a bus connection object is attached to an event loop incoming messages will be automatically read and processed, and outgoing messages written, whenever the event loop is run\&. When the event loop is about to terminate, the bus connection is automatically flushed and closed (see
\fBsd_bus_set_close_on_exit\fR(3)
for details on this)\&. By default bus connection objects are not attached to any event loop\&. When a bus connection object is attached to one it is not necessary to invoke
\fBsd_bus_wait\fR(3)
or
\fBsd_bus_process\fR(3)
as this functionality is handled automatically by the event loop\&.
.PP
\fBsd_bus_detach_event()\fR
detaches a bus object from its event loop\&.
.PP
The
\fBsd_bus_get_event()\fR
returns the event loop object the specified bus object is currently attached to, or
\fBNULL\fR
if it is currently not attached to any\&.
.PP
Note that
\fBsd_bus_attach_event()\fR
is only one of three supported ways to implement I/O event handling for bus connections\&. Alternatively use
\fBsd_bus_get_fd\fR(3)
for hooking up a bus connection object with external or manual event loops\&. Or use
\fBsd_bus_wait\fR(3)
as a simple synchronous, blocking I/O waiting call\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
On success,
\fBsd_bus_attach_event()\fR
and
\fBsd_bus_detach_event()\fR
return 0 or a positive integer\&. On failure, they return a negative errno\-style error code\&.
.PP
\fBsd_bus_get_event()\fR
returns an event loop object or
\fBNULL\fR\&.
.SS "Errors"
.PP
Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
.PP
\fB\-ECHILD\fR
.RS 4
The bus connection has been created in a different process, library or module instance\&.
.RE
.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\&.
