sd_event_get_fd - Obtain a file descriptor to poll for event loop events
#include <systemd/sd-event.h> int sd_event_get_fd(sd_event *event);
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.
On success, sd_event_get_fd() returns a non-negative file descriptor. On failure, it returns a negative errno-style error code.
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.
