<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_event_source_get_pending()</function> may be
used to determine whether the event source object specified as
<parameter>source</parameter> has seen events but has not been
dispatched yet (and thus is marked "pending").</para>
<para>Event source objects initially are not marked pending, when
they are created with calls such as
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_io</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_time</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
with the exception of those created with
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_defer</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
which are immediately marked pending, and
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_exit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for which the "pending" concept is not defined. For details see
the respective manual pages.</para>
<para>In each event loop iteration one event source of those
marked pending is dispatched, in the order defined by the event
source priority, as set with
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_set_priority</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
<para>For I/O event sources, as created with
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_io</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
the call
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_get_io_revents</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
may be used to query the type of event pending in more
detail.</para>

<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On success,
<function>sd_event_source_get_pending()</function> returns an
integer greater than zero when the event source is marked pending,
and zero when the event source is not marked pending. On failure,
it returns a negative errno-style error code.</para>
