UDEV_MONI...IVE_DEVICE(3)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so bestie, this is the udev_monitor_receive_device manual page, living under the title tag UDEV_MONI...IVE_DEVICE(3) 💖 and it is fully giving Query and modify device monitor energy. The whole squad is:

• udev_monitor_receive_device
• udev_monitor_enable_receiving
• udev_monitor_set_receive_buffer_size
• udev_monitor_get_fd
• udev_monitor_get_udev

and together they Query and modify device monitor. periodt. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

first things first, grab the header like it's the aux cord:

       #include <libudev.h>

       struct udev_device
                                                       *udev_monitor_receive_device(struct udev_monitor *udev_monitor);

       int udev_monitor_enable_receiving(struct udev_monitor *udev_monitor);

       int
                                                udev_monitor_set_receive_buffer_size(struct udev_monitor *udev_monitor,
                                                int size);

       int udev_monitor_get_fd(struct udev_monitor *udev_monitor);

       struct udev *udev_monitor_get_udev(struct udev_monitor *udev_monitor);

💅 RETURN VALUE 💅

okay so here's the tea, function by function, no cap:

• udev_monitor_receive_device() — on success, it returns a pointer to a newly referenced device that was received via the monitor. The caller is responsible to drop this reference when done. On failure, NULL is returned. 😭
• udev_monitor_enable_receiving() and udev_monitor_set_receive_buffer_size() — on success, they return an integer greater than, or equal to, 0. On failure, a negative error code is returned. slay when it works, negative error code when it doesn't.
• udev_monitor_get_fd() — on success, it returns the file descriptor used by this monitor. On failure, a negative error code is returned.
• udev_monitor_get_udev() — always returns a pointer to the udev context that this monitor is associated with. no failure arc, just vibes. ✨

🦋 HISTORY 🦋

these five besties — udev_monitor_receive_device(), udev_monitor_enable_receiving(), udev_monitor_set_receive_buffer_size(), udev_monitor_get_fd(), and udev_monitor_get_udev() — were added in version 221. iconic behavior since day one. 👑

and that's the whole page, bestie 💖🫶 this cutie came from systemd 261.3 on the footer, with the manual tag UDEV_MONI...IVE_DEVICE(3) — no date printed, so i'm not inventing one, ngl. mwah 💋✨
