NAME

       sd_event_source_get_pending - Determine pending state of event
       sources

SYNOPSIS

       #include <systemd/sd-event.h>

       int sd_event_source_get_pending(sd_event_source *source);

DESCRIPTION

       sd_event_source_get_pending() may be used to determine whether
       the event source object specified as source has seen events but
       has not been dispatched yet (and thus is marked "pending").

       Event source objects initially are not marked pending, when they
       are created with calls such as sd_event_add_io(3),
       sd_event_add_time(3), with the exception of those created with
       sd_event_add_defer(3) which are immediately marked pending, and
       sd_event_add_exit(3) for which the "pending" concept is not
       defined. For details see the respective manual pages.

       In each event loop iteration one event source of those marked
       pending is dispatched, in the order defined by the event source
       priority, as set with sd_event_source_set_priority(3).

       For I/O event sources, as created with sd_event_add_io(3), the
       call sd_event_source_get_io_revents(3) may be used to query the
       type of event pending in more detail.

RETURN VALUE

       On success, sd_event_source_get_pending() returns an integer
       greater than zero when the event source is marked pending, and
       zero when the event source is not marked pending. On failure, it
       returns 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.

       -EDOM
           source refers to an event source object created with
           sd_event_add_exit(3).

       -ENOMEM
           Not enough memory.

       -ESTALE
           The event loop is already terminated.

       -ECHILD
           The event loop has been created in a different process,
           library or module instance.

NOTES

       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.

HISTORY

       sd_event_source_get_pending() was added in version 229.
