Description
sd_event_source_set_exit_on_failure() may be used to set/unset the
exit-on-failure flag of the event source object specified as source. The flag
defaults to off. If on and the callback function set for the event source returns a failure code (i.e. a
negative value) the event loop is exited too, using the callback return code as the exit code for
sd_event_exit3. If
off, the event source is disabled but the event loop continues to run. Setting this flag is useful for
"dominant" event sources that define the purpose and reason for the event loop, and whose failure hence
should propagate to the event loop itself — as opposed to "auxiliary" event sources whose failures should
remain local and affect the event source, but not propagate further.
sd_event_source_get_exit_on_failure() may be used to query the flag currently
set for the event source object source.
Return Value
On success, sd_event_source_set_exit_on_failure() returns a non-negative
integer. sd_event_source_get_exit_on_failure() returns 0 if the flag is off, > 0
if the flag is on. On failure, both return 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
The event source refers to an exit event source (as created with
sd_event_add_exit3),
for which this functionality is not supported.
History
sd_event_source_set_exit_on_failure() and
sd_event_source_get_exit_on_failure() were added in version 247.
