|
|
<para><function>sd_event_new()</function> allocates a new event
|
|
|
|
|
loop object. The event loop object is returned in the
|
2014-05-08 01:28:45 +02:00
|
|
|
|
<parameter>event</parameter> parameter. After use, drop
|
2014-04-01 19:12:59 +02:00
|
|
|
|
the returned reference with
|
|
|
|
|
<function>sd_event_unref()</function>. When the last reference is
|
2014-05-08 01:28:45 +02:00
|
|
|
|
dropped, the event loop is freed.</para>
|
2014-04-01 19:12:59 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_event_default()</function> acquires a reference
|
|
|
|
|
to the default event loop object of the calling thread, possibly
|
|
|
|
|
allocating a new object if no default event loop object has been
|
2014-05-08 01:28:45 +02:00
|
|
|
|
allocated yet for the thread. After use, drop the returned
|
2014-04-14 19:12:45 +02:00
|
|
|
|
reference with <function>sd_event_unref()</function>. When the
|
2014-05-08 01:28:45 +02:00
|
|
|
|
last reference is dropped, the event loop is freed. If this
|
2014-04-01 19:12:59 +02:00
|
|
|
|
function is called while the object returned from a previous call
|
|
|
|
|
from the same thread is still referenced, the same object is
|
|
|
|
|
returned again, but the reference is increased by one. It is
|
|
|
|
|
recommended to use this call instead of
|
|
|
|
|
<function>sd_event_new()</function> in order to share event loop
|
|
|
|
|
objects between various components that are dispatched in the same
|
2014-05-08 01:28:45 +02:00
|
|
|
|
thread. All threads either have exactly zero or one default event loop
|
2014-04-01 19:12:59 +02:00
|
|
|
|
associated, but never more.</para>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_event_ref()</function> increases the reference
|
|
|
|
|
counter of the specified event loop object by one.</para>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_event_unref()</function> decreases the
|
|
|
|
|
reference counter of the specified event loop object by one. If
|
2014-05-08 01:28:45 +02:00
|
|
|
|
the counter hits zero, the event loop object is freed. Note that it
|
2014-05-08 01:28:44 +02:00
|
|
|
|
is freed regardless of whether it is the default event loop object for a
|
2014-04-01 19:12:59 +02:00
|
|
|
|
thread or not. This means that allocating an event loop with
|
2014-05-08 01:28:45 +02:00
|
|
|
|
<function>sd_event_default()</function>, then releasing it, and
|
2014-04-01 19:12:59 +02:00
|
|
|
|
then acquiring a new one with
|
|
|
|
|
<function>sd_event_default()</function> will result in two
|
2014-05-08 01:28:45 +02:00
|
|
|
|
distinct objects. Note that, in order to free an event loop object,
|
2014-04-01 19:12:59 +02:00
|
|
|
|
all remaining event sources of the event loop also need to be
|
|
|
|
|
freed as they each keep a reference to it.</para>
