On success,udev_monitor_receive_device()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,NULLis returned. On success,udev_monitor_enable_receiving()andudev_monitor_set_receive_buffer_size()return an integer greater than, or equal to,0. On failure, a negative error code is returned. On success,udev_monitor_get_fd()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.
udev_monitor_receive_device(),udev_monitor_enable_receiving(),udev_monitor_set_receive_buffer_size(),udev_monitor_get_fd(), andudev_monitor_get_udev()were added in version 221.
