.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBsd_event_add_signal()\fR
adds a new UNIX process signal event source to an event loop\&. The event loop object is specified in the
\fIevent\fR
parameter, and the event source object is returned in the
\fIsource\fR
parameter\&. The
\fIsignal\fR
parameter specifies the numeric signal to be handled (see
\fBsignal\fR(7))\&. The
\fIhandler\fR
parameter must reference a function to call when the signal is received or be
\fBNULL\fR\&. The handler function will be passed the
\fIuserdata\fR
pointer, which may be chosen freely by the caller\&. The handler also receives a pointer to a
signalfd_siginfo
structure containing information about the received signal\&. See
\fBsignalfd\fR(2)
for further information\&.
.PP
Only a single handler may be installed for a specific signal\&. The signal will be unblocked by this call, and must be blocked before this function is called in all threads (using
\fBsigprocmask\fR(2))\&. If the handler is not specified (\fIhandler\fR
is
\fBNULL\fR), a default handler which causes the program to exit cleanly will be used\&.
.PP
By default, the event source is enabled permanently (\fBSD_EVENT_ON\fR), but this may be changed with
\fBsd_event_source_set_enabled\fR(3)\&. If the handler function returns a negative error code, it will be disabled after the invocation, even if the
\fBSD_EVENT_ON\fR
mode was requested before\&.
.PP
To destroy an event source object use
\fBsd_event_source_unref\fR(3), but note that the event source is only removed from the event loop when all references to the event source are dropped\&. To make sure an event source does not fire anymore, even if it is still referenced, disable the event source using
\fBsd_event_source_set_enabled\fR(3)
with
\fBSD_EVENT_OFF\fR\&.
.PP
If the second parameter of
\fBsd_event_add_signal()\fR
is
\fBNULL\fR
no reference to the event source object is returned\&. In this case the event source is considered "floating", and will be destroyed implicitly when the event loop itself is destroyed\&.
.PP
\fBsd_event_source_get_signal()\fR
returns the configured signal number of an event source created previously with
\fBsd_event_add_signal()\fR\&. It takes the event source object as the
\fIsource\fR
parameter\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
On success, these functions return 0 or a positive integer\&. On failure, they return a negative errno\-style error code\&.
.SH "ERRORS"
.PP
Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
.PP
\fB\-ENOMEM\fR
.RS 4
Not enough memory to allocate an object\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-EINVAL\fR
.RS 4
An invalid argument has been passed\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-EBUSY\fR
.RS 4
A handler is already installed for this signal or the signal was not blocked previously\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-ESTALE\fR
.RS 4
The event loop is already terminated\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-ECHILD\fR
.RS 4
The event loop has been created in a different process\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-EDOM\fR
.RS 4
The passed event source is not a signal event source\&.
.RE
.SH "NOTES"
.PP
These APIs are implemented as a shared library, which can be compiled and linked to with the
\fBlibsystemd\fR\ \&\fBpkg-config\fR(1)
file\&.
