<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_event_run()</function> may be used to run a single
iteration of the event loop specified in the
<parameter>event</parameter> parameter. The function waits until an event to
process is available, and dispatches the registered handler for
it. The <parameter>usec</parameter> parameter specifies the
maximum time (in microseconds) to wait for an event. Use
<constant>(uint64_t) -1</constant> to specify an infinite
timeout.</para>
<para><function>sd_event_loop()</function> invokes
<function>sd_event_run()</function> in a loop, thus implementing
the actual event loop. The call returns as soon as exiting was
requested using
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_exit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
<para>The event loop object <parameter>event</parameter> is
created with
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_new</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
Events sources to wait for and their handlers may be registered
with
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_io</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_time</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_signal</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_child</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_defer</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_post</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
and
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_exit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
</para>
<para>For low-level control of event loop execution, use
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_prepare</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_wait</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
and
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_dispatch</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
which are wrapped by <function>sd_event_run()</function>. Along
with
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_get_fd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
these functions allow integration of an
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-event</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
event loop into foreign event loop implementations.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On failure, these functions return a negative errno-style
error code. <function>sd_event_run()</function> returns a
positive, non-zero integer if an event source was dispatched, and
zero when the specified timeout hit before an event source has
seen any event, and hence no event source was
dispatched. <function>sd_event_loop()</function> returns the exit
code specified when invoking
<function>sd_event_exit()</function>.</para>
</refsect1>

<title>Errors</title>
<para>Returned errors may indicate the following problems:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><constant>-EINVAL</constant></term>
<listitem><para>The <parameter>event</parameter> parameter is
invalid or <constant>NULL</constant>.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><constant>-EBUSY</constant></term>
<listitem><para>The event loop object is not in the right
state (see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_prepare</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for an explanation of possible states).</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><constant>-ESTALE</constant></term>
<listitem><para>The event loop is already terminated.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><constant>-ECHILD</constant></term>
<listitem><para>The event loop has been created in a different process.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
<para>Other errors are possible, too.</para>
