72 | ||
73 | <para><function>sd_event_add_child()</function> adds a new child | |
dc83f27a LP |
74 | process state change event source to an event loop. The event loop |
75 | object is specified in the <parameter>event</parameter> parameter, | |
76 | the event source object is returned in the | |
77 | <parameter>source</parameter> parameter. The | |
78 | <parameter>pid</parameter> parameter specifies the PID of the | |
79 | process to watch. The <parameter>handler</parameter> must | |
80 | reference a function to call when the process changes state. The | |
81 | handler function will be passed the | |
82 | <parameter>userdata</parameter> pointer, which may be chosen | |
83 | freely by the caller. The handler also receives a pointer to a | |
84 | <structname>siginfo_t</structname> structure containing | |
85 | information about the child process event. The | |
86 | <parameter>options</parameter> parameter determines which state | |
87 | changes will be watched for. It must contain an OR-ed mask of | |
88 | <constant>WEXITED</constant> (watch for the child process | |
edf25737 | 89 | terminating), <constant>WSTOPPED</constant> (watch for the child |
dc83f27a LP |
90 | process being stopped by a signal), and |
91 | <constant>WCONTINUED</constant> (watch for the child process being | |
92 | resumed by a signal). See <citerefentry | |
93 | project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>waitid</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry> | |
922d948b | 94 | for further information.</para> |
edf25737 ZJS |
95 | |
96 | <para>Only a single handler may be installed for a specific | |
dc83f27a LP |
97 | child process. The handler is enabled for a single event |
98 | (<constant>SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</constant>), but this may be changed | |
99 | with | |
edf25737 ZJS |
100 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_set_enabled</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. |
101 | If the handler function returns a negative error code, it will be | |
dc83f27a LP |
102 | disabled after the invocation, even if the |
103 | <constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant> mode was requested before. | |

106 | <para>To destroy an event source object use |
107 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>, | |
108 | but note that the event source is only removed from the event loop | |
109 | when all references to the event source are dropped. To make sure | |
110 | an event source does not fire anymore, even when there's still a | |
111 | reference to it kept, consider setting the event source to | |
112 | <constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant> with | |
113 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_set_enabled</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para> | |
114 | ||
7f3fdb7f | 115 | <para>If the second parameter of |
dc83f27a LP |
116 | <function>sd_event_add_child()</function> is passed as NULL no |
117 | reference to the event source object is returned. In this case the | |
118 | event source is considered "floating", and will be destroyed | |
119 | implicitly when the event loop itself is destroyed.</para> | |
120 | ||
121 | <para>Note that the <parameter>handler</parameter> function is | |
122 | invoked at a time where the child process is not reaped yet (and | |
123 | thus still is exposed as a zombie process by the kernel). However, | |
124 | the child will be reaped automatically after the function | |
125 | returns. Child processes for which no child process state change | |
126 | event sources are installed will not be reaped by the event loop | |
127 | implementation.</para> | |
128 | ||
129 | <para>If both a child process state change event source and a | |
130 | <constant>SIGCHLD</constant> signal event source is installed in | |
131 | the same event loop, the configured event source priorities decide | |
132 | which event source is dispatched first. If the signal handler is | |
133 | processed first, it should leave the child processes for which | |
134 | child process state change event sources are installed unreaped.</para> | |
135 | ||
edf25737 | 136 | <para><function>sd_event_source_get_child_pid()</function> |
dc83f27a LP |
137 | retrieves the configured PID of a child process state change event |
138 | source created previously with | |
edf25737 ZJS |
139 | <function>sd_event_add_child()</function>. It takes the event |
140 | source object as the <parameter>source</parameter> parameter and a | |
dc83f27a LP |
141 | pointer to a <type>pid_t</type> variable to return the process ID |
142 | in. | |
