sd_bus_wait
Wait for I/O on a bus connection
#include <systemd/sd-bus.h>
int sd_bus_wait
sd_bus *bus
uint64_t timeout_usec
Description
sd_bus_wait() synchronously waits for I/O on the specified bus connection object. This
function is supposed to be called whenever
sd_bus_process3 returns zero,
indicating that no work is pending on the connection. Internally, this call invokes ppoll2, to wait for I/O on
the bus connection. If the timeout_usec parameter is specified, the call will block at most
for the specified amount of time in µs. Pass UINT64_MAX to permit it to sleep
indefinitely.
After each invocation of sd_bus_wait() the sd_bus_process() call
should be invoked in order to process any now pending I/O work.
Note that sd_bus_wait() is suitable only for simple programs as it does not permit
waiting for other I/O events. For more complex programs either connect the bus connection object to an external
event loop using sd_bus_get_fd3
or to an sd-event3 event loop
using
sd_bus_attach_event3.
Return Value
If any I/O was seen, a positive value is returned, zero otherwise. If an error occurs, a negative
errno-style error code is returned.
Errors
Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
-EINVAL
An invalid bus object was passed.
-ECHILD
The bus connection was allocated in a parent process and is being reused in a child
process after fork().
-ENOTCONN
The bus connection has been terminated already.
