<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<P>
<B>sd_bus_wait()</B>
<DD>synchronously waits for I/O on the specified bus connection object. This function is supposed to be called whenever
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+sd_bus_process">sd_bus_process</A></B>(3)
returns zero, indicating that no work is pending on the connection. Internally, this call invokes
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+ppoll">ppoll</A></B>(3), to wait for I/O on the bus connection. If the
<I>timeout_sec</I>
parameter is specified, the call will block at most for the specified amount of time in &micro;s. Pass
<B>UINT64_MAX</B>
to permit it to sleep indefinitely.
<P>
After each invocation of
<B>sd_bus_wait()</B>
the
<B>sd_bus_process()</B>
call should be invoked in order to process any now pending I/O work.
<P>
Note that
<B>sd_bus_wait()</B>
is suitable only for simple programs as it does not permit waiting for other I/O events. For more complex programs either connect the bus connection object to an external event loop using
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+sd_bus_get_fd">sd_bus_get_fd</A></B>(3)
or to an
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+sd-event">sd-event</A></B>(3)
event loop using
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+sd_bus_attach_event">sd_bus_attach_event</A></B>(3).
<A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2>
<P>
If any I/O was seen, a positive value is returned, zero otherwise. If an error occurs, a negative
<I>errno</I>-style error code is returned.
<A NAME="lbAF">&nbsp;</A>
<H3>Errors</H3>
<P>
Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
<P>
<B>-EINVAL</B>
<DL COMPACT><DT id="2"><DD>
An invalid bus object was passed.
</DL>
<P>
<B>-ECHILD</B>
<DL COMPACT><DT id="3"><DD>
The bus connection was allocated in a parent process and is being reused in a child process after
<B>fork()</B>.
</DL>
<P>
<B>-ENOTCONN</B>
<DL COMPACT><DT id="4"><DD>
The bus connection has been terminated already.
</DL>

<H2>NOTES</H2>
<P>
These APIs are implemented as a shared library, which can be compiled and linked to with the
