SD_BUS_GET_N_QUEUED_READ(3) sd_bus_get_fdSD_BUS_GET_N_QUEUED_READ(3)sd_bus_get_n_queued_read, sd_bus_get_n_queued_write - Get the number of pending bus messages in the read and write queues of a bus connection object
#include <systemd/sd-bus.h>int sd_bus_get_n_queued_read(sd_bus *bus, uint64_t *ret);int sd_bus_get_n_queued_write(sd_bus *bus, uint64_t *ret);
sd_bus_get_n_queued_read()may be used to query the number of bus messages in the read queue of a bus connection object. The read queue contains all messages read from the transport medium (e.g. network socket) but not yet processed locally. The function expects two arguments: the bus object to query, and a pointer to a 64-bit counter variable to write the current queue size to. Usesd_bus_process()in order to process queued messages, i.e. to reduce the size of the read queue (as well as, in fact, the write queue, see below). Similarly,sd_bus_get_n_queued_write()may be used to query the number of currently pending bus messages in the write queue of a bus connection object. The write queue contains all messages enqueued into the connection with a call such assd_bus_send()but not yet written to the transport medium. The expected arguments are similar tosd_bus_get_n_queued_read(). Here too, usesd_bus_process()to reduce the size of the write queue. Alternatively, usesd_bus_flush()to synchronously write out any pending bus messages until the write queue is empty.
On success, these functions return 0 or a positive integer. On failure, they return a negative errno-style error code.Errors Returned errors may indicate the following problems:-ECHILD The bus connection was created in a different process, library or module instance.
sd_bus_get_n_queued_read()andsd_bus_get_n_queued_write()were added in version 238.
