Description
sd_event_source_set_enabled() may be used to enable or disable the event
source object specified as source. The enabled parameter
takes one of SD_EVENT_ON (to enable), SD_EVENT_OFF (to disable)
or SD_EVENT_ONESHOT. If invoked with SD_EVENT_ONESHOT the event
source will be enabled but automatically reset to SD_EVENT_OFF after one dispatch.
For SD_EVENT_OFF, the event source source may be
NULL, in which case the function does nothing. Otherwise,
source must be a valid pointer to an sd_event_source
object.
Event sources that are disabled will not result in event
loop wakeups and will not be dispatched, until they are enabled
again.
sd_event_source_get_enabled() may be used to query whether the event source
object source is currently enabled or not. If both the
source and the output parameter enabled are
NULL, this function returns false. Otherwise, source must be
a valid pointer to an sd_event_source object. If the output parameter
enabled is not NULL, it is set to the enablement state (one
of SD_EVENT_ON, SD_EVENT_OFF,
SD_EVENT_ONESHOT). The function also returns true if the event source is not
disabled.
Event source objects are enabled when they are first created
with calls such as
sd_event_add_io3,
sd_event_add_time3. However,
depending on the event source type they are enabled continuously
(SD_EVENT_ON) or only for a single invocation
of the event source handler
(SD_EVENT_ONESHOT). For details see the
respective manual pages.
As event source objects stay active and may be dispatched as
long as there is at least one reference to them, in many cases it
is a good idea to combine a call to
sd_event_source_unref3
with a prior call to
sd_event_source_set_enabled() with
SD_EVENT_OFF, to ensure the event source is
not dispatched again until all other remaining references are dropped.
Return Value
On success, sd_event_source_set_enabled() returns a non-negative
integer. sd_event_source_get_enabled() returns zero if the source is disabled
(SD_EVENT_OFF) and a positive integer otherwise. On failure, they return a negative
errno-style error code.
Errors
Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
-EINVAL
source is not a valid pointer to an
sd_event_source object.
-ENOMEM
Not enough memory.
-ECHILD
The event loop has been created in a different process.
