NAME
sd_event_add_signal, sd_event_source_get_signal,
sd_event_signal_handler_t, SD_EVENT_SIGNAL_PROCMASK - Add a UNIX
process signal event source to an event loop
SYNOPSIS
#include <systemd/sd-event.h>
typedef struct sd_event_source sd_event_source;
SD_EVENT_SIGNAL_PROCMASK
typedef int (*sd_event_signal_handler_t)(sd_event_source *s,
const struct signalfd_siginfo *si,
void *userdata);
int sd_event_add_signal(sd_event *event, sd_event_source **source,
int signal, sd_event_signal_handler_t handler,
void *userdata);
int sd_event_source_get_signal(sd_event_source *source);
DESCRIPTION
sd_event_add_signal() adds a new UNIX process signal event source to an
event loop. The event loop object is specified in the event parameter,
and the event source object is returned in the source parameter. The
signal parameter specifies the numeric signal to be handled (see
signal(7)).
The handler parameter is a function to call when the signal is received
or NULL. The handler function will be passed the userdata pointer,
which may be chosen freely by the caller. The handler also receives a
pointer to a signalfd_siginfo structure containing information about
the received signal. See signalfd(2) for further information. The
handler may return negative to signal an error (see below), other
return values are ignored. If handler is NULL, a default handler that
calls sd_event_exit(3) will be used.
Only a single handler may be installed for a specific signal. The
signal must be blocked in all threads before this function is called
(using sigprocmask(2) or pthread_sigmask(3)). For convenience, if the
special flag SD_EVENT_SIGNAL_PROCMASK is ORed into the specified signal
the signal will be automatically masked as necessary, for the calling
thread. Note that this only works reliably if the signal is already
masked in all other threads of the process, or if there are no other
threads at the moment of invocation.
By default, the event source is enabled permanently (SD_EVENT_ON), but
this may be changed with sd_event_source_set_enabled(3). If the handler
function returns a negative error code, it will either be disabled
after the invocation, even if the SD_EVENT_ON mode was requested
before, or it will cause the loop to terminate, see
sd_event_source_set_exit_on_failure(3).
To destroy an event source object use sd_event_source_unref(3), 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 if it is still referenced, disable
the event source using sd_event_source_set_enabled(3) with
SD_EVENT_OFF.
If the second parameter of sd_event_add_signal() is 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.
If the handler parameter to sd_event_add_signal() is NULL, and the
event source fires, this will be considered a request to exit the event
loop. In this case, the userdata parameter, cast to an integer, is
passed as the exit code parameter to sd_event_exit(3).
sd_event_source_get_signal() returns the configured signal number of an
event source created previously with sd_event_add_signal(). It takes
the event source object as the source parameter.
RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return 0 or a positive integer. On failure,
they return a negative errno-style error code.
Errors
Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
-ENOMEM
Not enough memory to allocate an object.
-EINVAL
An invalid argument has been passed.
-EBUSY
A handler is already installed for this signal or the signal was
not blocked previously.
-ESTALE
The event loop is already terminated.
-ECHILD
The event loop has been created in a different process, library or
module instance.
-EDOM
The passed event source is not a signal event source.
NOTES
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.
