Logically, this is better, because we're describing a subset of possible return values. Visually this also looks quite good because groff renders refsect2 much less prominently. Also rewrap things, add <constant> in various places, fix some typos.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_event_set_watchdog()</function> may be used to
|
|
enable or disable automatic watchdog notification support in the
|
|
event loop object specified in the <parameter>event</parameter>
|
|
parameter. Specifically, depending on the <parameter>b</parameter>
|
|
boolean argument this will make sure the event loop wakes up in
|
|
regular intervals and sends watchdog notification messages to the
|
|
service manager, if this was requested by the service
|
|
manager. Watchdog support is determined with
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_watchdog_enabled</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
|
|
and watchdog messages are sent with
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_notify</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. See
|
|
the <varname>WatchdogSec=</varname> setting in
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for details on how to enable watchdog support for a service and
|
|
the protocol used. The wake-up interval is chosen as half the
|
|
watchdog timeout declared by the service manager via the
|
|
<varname>$WATCHDOG_USEC</varname> environment variable. If the
|
|
service manager did not request watchdog notifications, or if the
|
|
process was not invoked by the service manager this call with a
|
|
true <parameter>b</parameter> parameter executes no
|
|
operation. Passing a false <parameter>b</parameter> parameter will
|
|
disable the automatic sending of watchdog notification messages if
|
|
it was enabled before. Newly allocated event loop objects have
|
|
this feature disabled.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The first watchdog notification message is sent immediately
|
|
when <function>set_event_set_watchdog()</function> is invoked with
|
|
a true <parameter>b</parameter> parameter.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The watchdog logic is designed to allow the service manager
|
|
to automatically detect services that ceased processing of
|
|
incoming events, and thus appear "hung". Watchdog notifications
|
|
are sent out only at the beginning of each event loop
|
|
iteration. If an event source dispatch function blocks for an
|
|
excessively long time and does not return execution to the event
|
|
loop quickly, this might hence cause the notification message to
|
|
be delayed, and possibly result in abnormal program termination,
|
|
as configured in the service unit file.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_event_get_watchdog()</function> may be used to
|
|
determine whether watchdog support was previously requested by a
|
|
call to <function>sd_event_set_watchdog()</function> with a true
|
|
<parameter>b</parameter> parameter and successfully
|
|
enabled.</para>

<title>Return Value</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>On success, <function>sd_event_set_watchdog()</function> and
|
|
<function>sd_event_get_watchdog()</function> return a non-zero positive integer if the service manager
|
|
requested watchdog support and watchdog support was successfully enabled. They return zero if the service
|
|
manager did not request watchdog support, or if watchdog support was explicitly disabled with a false
|
|
<parameter>b</parameter> parameter. On failure, they return a negative errno-style error code.</para>
