SD_EVENT_GET_FD(3)             sd_event_get_fd            SD_EVENT_GET_FD(3)

NAME         top

       sd_event_get_fd - Obtain a file descriptor to poll for event loop
       events

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <systemd/sd-event.h>
       int sd_event_get_fd(sd_event *event);

DESCRIPTION         top

       sd_event_get_fd() returns the file descriptor that an event loop
       object returned by the sd_event_new(3) function uses to wait for
       events. This file descriptor may itself be polled for POLLIN/EPOLLIN
       events. This makes it possible to embed an sd-event(3) event loop
       into another, possibly foreign, event loop.
       The returned file descriptor refers to an epoll(7) object. It is
       recommended not to alter it by invoking epoll_ctl(2) on it, in order
       to avoid interference with the event loop's inner logic and
       assumptions.

RETURN VALUE         top

       On success, sd_event_get_fd() returns a non-negative file descriptor.
       On failure, it returns a negative errno-style error code.

ERRORS         top

       Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
       -EINVAL
           event is not a valid pointer to an sd_event structure.
       -ECHILD
           The event loop has been created in a different process.
