Let's make sure we get back to 100% man page documentation coverage of our sd-event APIs. We are bad enough at the others, let's get these ones right at least.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_event_source_set_floating()</function> 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.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Various calls that allocate event source objects (i.e.
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_io</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_time</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> and
|
|
similar) will automatically set an event source object to 'floating' mode if the caller passed
|
|
<constant>NULL</constant> 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.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_event_source_get_floating()</function> may be used to query the current 'floating'
|
|
state of the event source object <parameter>source</parameter>. It returns zero if 'floating' mode is
|
|
off, positive if it is on.</para>
