NAME

       sd_event_exit, sd_event_get_exit_code - Ask the event loop to exit

SYNOPSIS

       #include <systemd/sd-event.h>

       int sd_event_exit(sd_event *event, int code);

       int sd_event_get_exit_code(sd_event *event, int *code);

DESCRIPTION

       sd_event_exit() requests the event loop specified in the event event loop object to exit.
       The code parameter may be any integer value and is returned as-is by sd_event_loop(3)
       after the last event loop iteration. It may also be queried using
       sd_event_get_exit_code(), see below.

       When exiting is requested the event loop will stop listening for and dispatching regular
       event sources. Instead it will proceed with executing only event sources registered with
       sd_event_add_exit(3) in the order defined by their priority. After all exit event sources
       have been dispatched the event loop is terminated.

       If sd_event_exit() is invoked a second time while the event loop is still processing exit
       event sources, the exit code stored in the event loop object is updated, but otherwise no
       further operation is executed.

       sd_event_get_exit_code() may be used to query the exit code passed into sd_event_exit()
       earlier.

       While the full positive and negative integer ranges may be used for the exit code, care
       should be taken not pick exit codes that conflict with regular exit codes returned by
       sd_event_loop(), if these exit codes shall be distinguishable.

RETURN VALUE

       On success, sd_event_exit() and sd_event_get_exit_code() return 0 or a positive integer.
       On failure, they return a negative errno-style error code.

ERRORS

       Returned errors may indicate the following problems:

       -EINVAL
           The event loop object or error code pointer are invalid.

       -ECHILD
           The event loop was created in a different process.

       -ESTALE
           The event loop has exited already and all exit handlers are already processed.

       -ENODATA
           The event loop has not been requested to exit yet.

NOTES

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