<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_event_exit()</function> requests the event loop
specified in the <parameter>event</parameter> event loop object to
exit. The <parameter>code</parameter> parameter may be any integer
value and is returned as-is by
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_loop</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
after the last event loop iteration. It may also be queried
using <function>sd_event_get_exit_code()</function>, see
below. </para>
<para>When exiting is requested the event loop will stop listening
for and dispatching regular event sources. Instead it will proceed
with executing only event sources registered with
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_exit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
in the order defined by their priority. After all exit event
sources have been dispatched the event loop is terminated.</para>
<para>If <function>sd_event_exit()</function> is invoked a second
time while the event loop is still processing exit event sources,
the exit code stored in the event loop object is updated, but
otherwise no further operation is executed.</para>
<para><function>sd_event_get_exit_code()</function> may be used to
query the exit code passed into
<function>sd_event_exit()</function> earlier.</para>
<para>While the full positive and negative integer ranges may be used
for the exit code, care should be taken not pick exit codes that
conflict with regular exit codes returned by
<function>sd_event_loop()</function>, if these exit codes shall be
distinguishable.</para>
<para>Note that for most event source types passing the callback pointer as <constant>NULL</constant> in
the respective constructor call (i.e. in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_time</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_signal</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
…) has the effect of <function>sd_event_exit()</function> being invoked once the event source triggers,
with the specified userdata pointer cast to an integer as the exit code parameter. This is useful to
automatically terminate an event loop after some condition, such as a time-out or reception of
<constant>SIGTERM</constant> or similar. See the documentation for the respective constructor call for
details.</para>

<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On success, <function>sd_event_exit()</function> and <function>sd_event_get_exit_code()</function>
return 0 or a positive integer. On failure, they return a negative errno-style error code.</para>
