<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_listen_fds()</function> shall be
|
|
called by a daemon to check for file descriptors
|
|
passed by the init system as part of the socket-based
|
|
activation logic.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If the <parameter>unset_environment</parameter>
|
|
parameter is non-zero,
|
|
<function>sd_listen_fds()</function> will unset the
|
|
<varname>$LISTEN_FDS</varname>/<varname>$LISTEN_PID</varname>
|
|
environment variables before returning (regardless of
|
|
whether the function call itself succeeded or
|
|
not). Further calls to
|
|
<function>sd_listen_fds()</function> will then fail,
|
|
but the variables are no longer inherited by child
|
|
processes.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If a daemon receives more than one file
|
|
descriptor, they will be passed in the same order as
|
|
configured in the systemd socket definition
|
|
file. Nonetheless, it is recommended to verify the
|
|
correct socket types before using them. To simplify
|
|
this checking, the functions
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_is_fifo</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_is_socket</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_is_socket_inet</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_is_socket_unix</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
are provided. In order to maximize flexibility, it is
|
|
recommended to make these checks as loose as possible
|
|
without allowing incorrect setups. i.e. often, the
|
|
actual port number a socket is bound to matters little
|
|
for the service to work, hence it should not be
|
|
verified. On the other hand, whether a socket is a
|
|
datagram or stream socket matters a lot for the most
|
|
common program logics and should be checked.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This function call will set the FD_CLOEXEC flag
|
|
for all passed file descriptors to avoid further
|
|
inheritance to children of the calling process.</para>

<title>Return Value</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>On failure, this call returns a negative
|
|
errno-style error code. If
|
|
<varname>$LISTEN_FDS</varname>/<varname>$LISTEN_PID</varname>
|
|
was not set or was not correctly set for this daemon and
|
|
hence no file descriptors were received, 0 is
|
|
returned. Otherwise, the number of file descriptors
|
|
passed is returned. The application may find them
|
|
starting with file descriptor SD_LISTEN_FDS_START,
|
|
i.e. file descriptor 3.</para>

<para>Internally, this function checks whether the
|
|
<varname>$LISTEN_PID</varname> environment variable
|
|
equals the daemon PID. If not, it returns
|
|
immediately. Otherwise, it parses the number passed in
|
|
the <varname>$LISTEN_FDS</varname> environment
|
|
variable, then sets the FD_CLOEXEC flag for the parsed
|
|
number of file descriptors starting from
|
|
SD_LISTEN_FDS_START. Finally, it returns the parsed
|
|
number.</para>
