53 | <title>Description</title> | |
54 | ||
55 | <para><function>sd_event_source_set_ratelimit()</function> may be used to enforce rate limiting on an | |
56 | event source. When used an event source will be temporarily turned off when it fires more often then a | |
57 | specified burst number within a specified time interval. This is useful as simple mechanism to avoid | |
58 | event source starvation if high priority event sources fire very frequently.</para> | |
59 | ||
60 | <para>Pass the event source to operate on as first argument, a time interval in microseconds as second | |
61 | argument and a maximum dispatch limit ("burst") as third parameter. Whenever the event source is | |
62 | dispatched more often than the specified burst within the specified interval it is placed in a mode | |
63 | similar to being disabled with | |
64 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_set_enabled</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> | |
65 | and the <constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant> parameter. However it is disabled only temporarily – once the | |
66 | specified interval is over regular operation resumes. It is again disabled temporarily once the specified rate | |
67 | limiting is hit the next time. If either the interval or the burst value are specified as zero, rate | |
68 | limiting is turned off. By default event sources do not have rate limiting enabled. Note that rate | |
69 | limiting and disabling via <function>sd_event_source_set_enabled()</function> are independent of each | |
70 | other, and an event source will only effect event loop wake-ups and is dispatched while it both is | |
71 | enabled and rate limiting is not in effect.</para> | |
72 | ||
73 | <para><function>sd_event_source_get_ratelimit()</function> may be used to query the current rate limiting | |
74 | parameters set on the event source object <parameter>source</parameter>. The previously set interval and | |
75 | burst vales are returned in the second and third argument.</para> | |
76 | ||
77 | <para><function>sd_event_source_is_ratelimited()</function> may be used to query whether the event source | |
78 | is currently affected by rate limiting, i.e. it has recently hit the rate limit and is currently | |
79 | temporarily disabled due to that.</para> | |
80 | ||
81 | <para>Rate limiting is currently implemented for I/O, timer, signal, defer and inotify event | |
82 | sources.</para> | |

87 | ||
88 | <para>On success, <function>sd_event_source_set_ratelimit()</function> and | |
89 | <function>sd_event_source_get_ratelimit()</function> return a non-negative integer. On failure, they | |
90 | return a negative errno-style error code. <function>sd_event_source_is_ratelimited</function> returns | |
91 | zero if rate limiting is currently not in effect and greater than zero if it is in effect; it returns a | |
92 | negative errno-style error code on failure.</para> | |
