NAME

       sd_event_set_signal_exit - Automatically leave event loop on SIGINT and SIGTERM

SYNOPSIS

       #include <systemd/sd-event.h>

       int sd_event_set_signal_exit(sd_event *event, int b);

DESCRIPTION

       sd_event_set_signal_exit() may be used to ensure the event loop terminates once a SIGINT
       or SIGTERM signal is received. It is a convencience wrapper around invocations of
       sd_event_add_signal(3) for both signals. The two signals are automatically added to the
       calling thread's signal mask (if a program is multi-threaded care should be taken to
       either invoke this function before the first thread is started or to manually block the
       two signals process-wide first).

       If the parameter b is specified as true, the event loop will terminate on SIGINT and
       SIGTERM. If specified as false, it will no longer. When this functionality is turned off
       the calling thread's signal mask is restored to match the state before it was turned on,
       for the two signals. By default the two signals are not handled by the event loop, and
       Linux' default signal handling for them is in effect.

       It's customary for UNIX programs to exit on either of these two signals, hence it's
       typically a good idea to enable this functionality for the main event loop of a program.

RETURN VALUE

       sd_event_set_signal_exit() returns a positive non-zero value when the setting was
       successfully changed. It returns a zero when the specified setting was already in effect.
       On failure, it returns a negative errno-style error code.

   Errors
       Returned errors may indicate the following problems:

       -ECHILD
           The event loop has been created in a different process.

       -EINVAL
           The passed event loop object was invalid.

NOTES

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