An event flag group is a synchronization object represented by a long-word structure; every available bit in such word can be used to map a user-defined event flag. When a flag is set, the associated event is said to have occurred. Xenomai tasks and interrupt handlers can use event flags to signal the occurrence of events to other tasks; those tasks can either wait for the events to occur in a conjunctive manner (all awaited events must have occurred to wake up), or in a disjunctive way (at least one of the awaited events must have occurred to wake up).

Bind to an event flag group.

This user-space only service retrieves the uniform descriptor of a given Xenomai event flag group identified by its symbolic name. If the event flag group does not exist on entry, this service blocks the caller until a event flag group of the given name is created.<p>

Create an event group. 
<p>
Event groups provide for task synchronization by allowing a set of flags (or "events") to be waited for and posted atomically. An event group contains a mask of received events; any set of bits from the event mask can be pended or posted in a single operation.<p>
Tasks can wait for a conjunctive (AND) or disjunctive (OR) set of events to occur. A task pending on an event group in conjunctive mode is woken up as soon as all awaited events are set in the event mask. A task pending on an event group in disjunctive mode is woken up as soon as any awaited event is set in the event mask.<p>

Pend on an event group (with absolute timeout date).

Waits for one or more events on the specified event group, either in conjunctive or disjunctive mode.<p>
