We should keep our options open, so that we can watch for POLLOUT later on if we wish to. CUrrently this call will always return POLLIN however.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_login_monitor_new()</function> may
|
|
be used to monitor login sessions, users and seats. Via
|
|
a monitor object a file descriptor can be integrated
|
|
into an application defined event loop which is woken
|
|
up each time a user logs in, logs out or a seat is
|
|
added or removed, or a session, user, or seat changes
|
|
state otherwise. The first parameter takes a string
|
|
which can be <literal>seat</literal> (to get
|
|
only notifications about seats being added, removed or
|
|
changed), <literal>session</literal> (to get only
|
|
notifications about sessions being created or removed
|
|
or changed) or <literal>uid</literal> (to get only
|
|
notifications when a user changes state in respect to
|
|
logins). If notifications shall be generated in all
|
|
these conditions, NULL may be passed. Note that in the
|
|
future additional categories may be defined. The
|
|
second parameter returns a monitor object and needs to
|
|
be freed with the
|
|
<function>sd_login_monitor_unref()</function> call
|
|
after use.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_login_monitor_unref()</function>
|
|
may be used to destroy a monitor object. Note that
|
|
this will invalidate any file descriptor returned by
|
|
<function>sd_login_monitor_get_fd()</function>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_login_monitor_flush()</function>
|
|
may be used to reset the wakeup state of the monitor
|
|
object. Whenever an event causes the monitor to wake
|
|
up the event loop via the file descriptor this
|
|
function needs to be called to reset the wake-up
|
|
state. If this call is not invoked the file descriptor
|
|
will immediately wake up the event loop again.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_login_monitor_get_fd()</function>
|
|
may be used to retrieve the file descriptor of the
|
|
monitor object that may be integrated in an
|
|
application defined event loop, based around
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>poll</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
or a similar interface. The application should include
|
|
the returned file descriptor as wake-up source for the
|
|
events mask returned by
|
|
<function>sd_login_monitor_get_events()</function>. Whenever
|
|
a wake-up is triggered the file descriptor needs to be
|
|
reset via
|
|
<function>sd_login_monitor_flush()</function>. An
|
|
application needs to reread the login state with a
|
|
function like
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_get_seats</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
or similar to determine what changed.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_login_monitor_get_events()</function>
|
|
will return the <function>poll()</function> mask to
|
|
wait for. This function will return a combination of
|
|
<literal>POLLIN</literal>, <literal>POLLOUT</literal>
|
|
and similar to fill into the
|
|
<literal>.events</literal> field of <literal>struct
|
|
pollfd</literal>.</para>

<para>On success
|

<function>sd_login_monitor_new()</function> and
|

<function>sd_login_monitor_flush()</function> return 0
|
|
or a positive integer. On success
|
|
<function>sd_login_monitor_get_fd()</function> returns
|
|
a Unix file descriptor. On success
|
|
<function>sd_login_monitor_get_events()</function>
|
|
returns a combination of <literal>POLLIN</literal>,
|
|
<literal>POLLOUT</literal> and suchlike. On failure,
|
|
these calls return a negative errno-style error
|

code.</para>
