SD_EVENT_EXIT(3) sd_event_exit SD_EVENT_EXIT(3)
sd_event_exit, sd_event_get_exit_code - Ask the event loop to exit
#include <systemd/sd-event.h>
int sd_event_exit(sd_event *event, int code);
int sd_event_get_exit_code(sd_event *event, int *ret);
sd_event_exit() requests the event loop specified in the event
event loop object to exit. The code parameter may be any integer
value and is returned as-is by sd_event_loop(3) after the last
event loop iteration. It may also be queried using
sd_event_get_exit_code(), see below.
When exiting is requested the event loop will stop listening for
and dispatching regular event sources. Instead it will proceed
with executing only event sources registered with
sd_event_add_exit(3) in the order defined by their priority. After
all exit event sources have been dispatched the event loop is
terminated.
If sd_event_exit() is invoked a second time while the event loop
is still processing exit event sources, the exit code stored in
the event loop object is updated, but otherwise no further
operation is executed.
sd_event_get_exit_code() may be used to query the exit code passed
to an earlier call of sd_event_exit(). The return parameter ret
may be set to NULL, in order to simply check if sd_event_exit()
has been called before (as sd_event_get_exit_code() fails with
-ENODATA if that's not the case, see below).
While the full positive and negative integer ranges may be used
for the exit code, care should be taken not pick exit codes that
conflict with regular exit codes returned by sd_event_loop(), if
these exit codes shall be distinguishable.
Note that for most event source types passing the callback pointer
as NULL in the respective constructor call (i.e. in
sd_event_add_time(3), sd_event_add_signal(3), ...) has the effect
of sd_event_exit() being invoked once the event source triggers,
with the specified userdata pointer cast to an integer as the exit
code parameter. This is useful to automatically terminate an event
loop after some condition, such as a timeout or reception of
SIGTERM or similar. See the documentation for the respective
constructor call for details.
On success, sd_event_exit() and sd_event_get_exit_code() return 0
or a positive integer. On failure, they return a negative
errno-style error code.
Errors
Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
-EINVAL
The event loop object or error code pointer are invalid.
-ECHILD
The event loop was created in a different process, library or
module instance.
-ESTALE
The event loop has exited already and all exit handlers are
already processed.
-ENODATA
Returned by sd_event_get_exit_code() in case the event loop
has not been requested to exit yet.
Functions described here are available as a shared library, which
can be compiled against and linked to with the
libsystemd pkg-config(1) file.
The code described here uses getenv(3), which is declared to be
not multi-thread-safe. This means that the code calling the
functions described here must not call setenv(3) from a parallel
thread. It is recommended to only do calls to setenv() from an
early phase of the program when no other threads have been
started.
sd_event_exit() and sd_event_get_exit_code() were added in version
229.
