SD_EVENT_GET_FD(3)              sd_event_get_fd             SD_EVENT_GET_FD(3)

NAME
       sd_event_get_fd - Obtain a file descriptor to poll for event loop
       events

SYNOPSIS
       #include <systemd/sd-event.h>

       int sd_event_get_fd(sd_event *event);

DESCRIPTION
       sd_event_get_fd() returns the file descriptor that an event loop object
       returned by the sd_event_new(3) function uses to wait for events. This
       file descriptor may itself be polled for POLLIN/EPOLLIN events. This
       makes it possible to embed an sd-event(3) event loop into another,
       possibly foreign, event loop.

       The returned file descriptor refers to an epoll(7) object. It is
       recommended not to alter it by invoking epoll_ctl(2) on it, in order to
       avoid interference with the event loop's inner logic and assumptions.

RETURN VALUE
       On success, sd_event_get_fd() returns a non-negative file descriptor.
       On failure, it returns a negative errno-style error code.

   Errors
       Returned errors may indicate the following problems:

       -EINVAL
           event is not a valid pointer to an sd_event structure.

       -ECHILD
           The event loop has been created in a different process, library or
           module instance.

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.
