| |
| .. flat-table:: |
| :header-rows: 0 |
| :stub-columns: 0 |
| |
| |
| - .. row 1 |
| |
| - int fd |
| |
| - File descriptor returned by a previous call to open(). |
| |
| - .. row 2 |
| |
| - int request |
| |
| - Equals DMX_GET_EVENT for this command. |
| |
| - .. row 3 |
| |
| - struct dmx_event \*ev |
| |
| - Pointer to the location where the event is to be stored. |
| |
| |
| Description |
| ----------- |
| |
| This ioctl call returns an event if available. If an event is not |
| available, the behavior depends on whether the device is in blocking or |
| non-blocking mode. In the latter case, the call fails immediately with |
| errno set to ``EWOULDBLOCK``. In the former case, the call blocks until an |
| event becomes available. |
| |
| |
| Return Value |
| ------------ |
| |
| On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set |
| appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the |
| :ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter. |
