SD_BUS_WAIT(3) sd_bus_wait SD_BUS_WAIT(3)
sd_bus_wait - Wait for I/O on a bus connection
#include <systemd/sd-bus.h>
int sd_bus_wait(sd_bus *bus, uint64_t timeout_usec);
sd_bus_wait() synchronously waits for I/O on the specified bus
connection object. This function is supposed to be called whenever
sd_bus_process(3) returns zero, indicating that no work is pending
on the connection. Internally, this call invokes ppoll(2), to wait
for I/O on the bus connection. If the timeout_usec parameter is
specified, the call will block at most for the specified amount of
time in μs. Pass UINT64_MAX to permit it to sleep indefinitely.
After each invocation of sd_bus_wait() the sd_bus_process() call
should be invoked in order to process any now pending I/O work.
Note that sd_bus_wait() is suitable only for simple programs as it
does not permit waiting for other I/O events. For more complex
programs either connect the bus connection object to an external
event loop using sd_bus_get_fd(3) or to an sd-event(3) event loop
using sd_bus_attach_event(3).
If any I/O was seen, a positive value is returned, zero otherwise.
If an error occurs, a negative errno-style error code is returned.
Errors
Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
-EINVAL
An invalid bus object was passed.
-ECHILD
The bus connection was allocated in a parent process and is
being reused in a child process after fork().
-ENOTCONN
The bus connection has been terminated already.
Functions described here are available as a shared library, which
can be compiled against and linked to with the
libsystemd pkg-config(1) file.
The code described here uses getenv(3), which is declared to be
not multi-thread-safe. This means that the code calling the
functions described here must not call setenv(3) from a parallel
thread. It is recommended to only do calls to setenv() from an
early phase of the program when no other threads have been
started.
sd_bus_wait() was added in version 240.
