NAME
sysevent_subscribe_event, sysevent_unsubscribe_event - register or unregister interest in event receipt SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lsysevent [ library... ] #include <libsysevent.h> int sysevent_subscribe_event(sysevent_handle_t *sysevent_hdl, char *event_class, char **event_subclass_list, int num_subclasses); void sysevent_unsubscribe_event(sysevent_handle_t *sysevent_hdl, char *event_class); event_class system event class string event_subclass_larray of subclass strings num_subclasses number of subclass strings sysevent_hdl sysevent subscriber handle The sysevent_subscribe_event() function registers the caller's interest in event notifications belonging to the class event_class and the subclasses contained in event_subclass_list. The subscriber handle sysevent_hdl is updated with the new subscription and the calling process receives event notifications from the event handler specified in sysevent_bind_handle. System events matching event_class and a subclass contained in event_subclass_list published after the caller returns from sysevent_sub- scribe_event() are guaranteed to be delivered to the calling process. Matching system events published and queued prior to a call to sysevent_subscribe_event() may be delivered to the process's event handler. The num_subclasses argument provides the number of subclass string elements in event_subclass_list. A caller can use the event class EC_ALL to subscribe to all event classes and subclasses. The event class EC_SUB_ALL can be used to sub- scribe to all subclasses within a given event class. Subsequent calls to sysevent_subscribe_event() are allowed to add additional classes or subclasses. To remove an existing subscription, sysevent_unsubscribe_event() must be used to remove the subscription. The sysevent_unsubscribe_event() function removes the subscription described by event_class for sysevent_hdl. Event notifications matching event_class will not be delivered to the calling process upon return. A caller can use the event class EC_ALL to remove all subscriptions for sysevent_hdl. The library manages all subscription resources. The sysevent_subscribe_event() function returns 0 if the subscription is successful. Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error. The sysevent_unsubscribe_event() function returns no value. The sysevent_subscribe_event() function will fail if: EACCES The calling process has an ID other than the privileged user. EINVAL The sysevent_hdl argument is an invalid sysevent handle. ENOMEM There is insufficient memory available to allocate subscription resources.
