Wait for signals on multiple objects.
#include <zircon/syscalls.h> zx_status_t zx_object_wait_many(zx_wait_item_t* items, size_t count, zx_time_t deadline);
zx_object_wait_many()
is a blocking syscall which causes the caller to wait until either the deadline passes or at least one of the specified signals is asserted by the object to which the associated handle refers. If an object is already asserting at least one of the specified signals, the wait ends immediately.
typedef struct { zx_handle_t handle; zx_signals_t waitfor; zx_signals_t pending; } zx_wait_item_t;
The caller must provide count zx_wait_item_t
s in the items array, containing the handle and signals bitmask to wait for for each item.
The deadline parameter specifies a deadline with respect to ZX_CLOCK_MONOTONIC and will be automatically adjusted according to the job's [timer slack] policy. ZX_TIME_INFINITE is a special value meaning wait forever.
Upon return, the pending field of items is filled with bitmaps indicating which signals are pending for each item.
The pending signals in items may not reflect the actual state of the object's signals if the state of the object was modified by another thread or process. (For example, a Channel ceases asserting ZX_CHANNEL_READABLE once the last message in its queue is read).
The maximum number of items that may be waited upon is ZX_WAIT_MANY_MAX_ITEMS, which is 8. To wait on more things at once use Ports.
Every entry of items must have a handle field with ZX_RIGHT_WAIT.
zx_object_wait_many()
returns ZX_OK if any of waitfor signals were observed on their respective object before deadline passed.
In the event of ZX_ERR_TIMED_OUT, items may reflect state changes that occurred after the deadline passed, but before the syscall returned.
In the event of ZX_ERR_CANCELED, one or more of the items being waited upon have had their handles closed, and the pending field for those items will have the ZX_SIGNAL_HANDLE_CLOSED bit set.
For any other return value, the pending fields of items are undefined.
ZX_ERR_INVALID_ARGS items isn't a valid pointer.
ZX_ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE count is greater than ZX_WAIT_MANY_MAX_ITEMS.
ZX_ERR_BAD_HANDLE one of items contains an invalid handle.
ZX_ERR_ACCESS_DENIED One or more of the provided handles does not have ZX_RIGHT_WAIT and may not be waited upon.
ZX_ERR_CANCELED One or more of the provided handles was invalidated (e.g., closed) during the wait.
ZX_ERR_TIMED_OUT The specified deadline passed before any of the specified signals are observed on any of the specified handles.
ZX_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED One of the items contains a handle that cannot be waited one (for example, a Port handle).
ZX_ERR_NO_MEMORY Failure due to lack of memory. There is no good way for userspace to handle this (unlikely) error. In a future build this error will no longer occur.
pending more properly should be called observed.
