NAMEsd_event_source_set_floating, sd_event_source_get_floating − Set or retrieve 'floating' state of event sources

SYNOPSIS#include <systemd/sd−event​.h>int sd_event_source_set_floating(sd_event_source *source, int floating); int sd_event_source_get_floating(sd_event_source *source);

DESCRIPTIONsd_event_source_set_floating() takes a boolean and sets the 'floating' state of the specified event source object​. This is used to change the direction of reference counts for the object and the event loop it is associated with​. In non−floating mode, the event source object holds a reference to the event loop object, but not vice versa​. The creator of the event source object must hold a reference to it as long as the source should exist​. In floating mode, the event loop holds a reference to the source object, and will decrease the reference count when being freed​. This means that a reference to the event loop should be held to prevent both from being destroyed​. Various calls that allocate event source objects (i​.e​. sd_event_add_io(3), sd_event_add_time(3) and similar) will automatically set an event source object to 'floating' mode if the caller passed NULL in the parameter used to return a reference to the event source object​. Nevertheless, it may be necessary to gain temporary access to the source object, for example to adjust event source properties after allocation (e​.g​. its priority or description string)​. In those cases the object may be created in non−floating mode, and the returned reference used to adjust the properties, and the object marked as floating afterwards, and the reference in the caller dropped​. sd_event_source_get_floating() may be used to query the current 'floating' state of the event source object source​. It returns zero if 'floating' mode is off, positive if it is on​.

RETURN VALUEOn success, sd_event_source_set_floating() and sd_event_source_get_floating() return a non−negative integer​. On failure, they return a negative errno−style error code​.

ErrorsReturned errors may indicate the following problems: −EINVAL source is not a valid pointer to an sd_event_source object​. −ECHILD The event loop has been created in a different process​.

NOTESThese APIs are implemented as a shared library, which can be compiled and linked to with the libsystemd ​pkg-config(1) file​.
