<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_event_add_child()</function> adds a new child
|
|
process state change event source to an event loop. The event loop
|
|
object is specified in the <parameter>event</parameter> parameter,
|
|
the event source object is returned in the
|
|
<parameter>source</parameter> parameter. The
|
|
<parameter>pid</parameter> parameter specifies the PID of the
|
|
process to watch. The <parameter>handler</parameter> must
|
|
reference a function to call when the process changes state. The
|
|
handler function will be passed the
|
|
<parameter>userdata</parameter> pointer, which may be chosen
|
|
freely by the caller. The handler also receives a pointer to a
|
|
<structname>siginfo_t</structname> structure containing
|
|
information about the child process event. The
|
|
<parameter>options</parameter> parameter determines which state
|
|
changes will be watched for. It must contain an OR-ed mask of
|
|
<constant>WEXITED</constant> (watch for the child process
|
|
terminating), <constant>WSTOPPED</constant> (watch for the child
|
|
process being stopped by a signal), and
|
|
<constant>WCONTINUED</constant> (watch for the child process being
|
|
resumed by a signal). See <citerefentry
|
|
project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>waitid</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for further information.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Only a single handler may be installed for a specific
|
|
child process. The handler is enabled for a single event
|
|
(<constant>SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</constant>), but this may be changed
|
|
with
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_set_enabled</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
|
|
If the handler function returns a negative error code, it will be
|
|
disabled after the invocation, even if the
|
|
<constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant> mode was requested before.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To destroy an event source object use
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
|
|
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 when there's still a
|
|
reference to it kept, consider setting the event source to
|
|
<constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant> with
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_set_enabled</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If the second parameter of
|
|
<function>sd_event_add_child()</function> is passed as 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.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that the <parameter>handler</parameter> function is
|
|
invoked at a time where the child process is not reaped yet (and
|
|
thus still is exposed as a zombie process by the kernel). However,
|
|
the child will be reaped automatically after the function
|
|
returns. Child processes for which no child process state change
|
|
event sources are installed will not be reaped by the event loop
|
|
implementation.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If both a child process state change event source and a
|
|
<constant>SIGCHLD</constant> signal event source is installed in
|
|
the same event loop, the configured event source priorities decide
|
|
which event source is dispatched first. If the signal handler is
|
|
processed first, it should leave the child processes for which
|
|
child process state change event sources are installed unreaped.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_event_source_get_child_pid()</function>
|
|
retrieves the configured PID of a child process state change event
|
|
source created previously with
|
|
<function>sd_event_add_child()</function>. It takes the event
|
|
source object as the <parameter>source</parameter> parameter and a
|
|
pointer to a <type>pid_t</type> variable to return the process ID
|
|
in.
