| # zx_event_create |
| |
| ## NAME |
| |
| event_create - create an event |
| |
| ## SYNOPSIS |
| |
| ``` |
| #include <zircon/syscalls.h> |
| |
| zx_status_t zx_event_create(uint32_t options, zx_handle_t* out); |
| ``` |
| |
| ## DESCRIPTION |
| |
| **event_create**() creates an event, which is an object that is signalable. That |
| is, its *ZX_USER_SIGNAL_n* (where *n* is 0 through 7) signals can be |
| manipulated using **object_signal**(). |
| |
| ## RIGHTS |
| |
| The newly-created handle will have the [basic rights](../rights.md#zx_rights_basic) |
| plus *ZX_RIGHT_SIGNAL*. |
| |
| ## RETURN VALUE |
| |
| **event_create**() returns ZX_OK and a valid event handle (via *out*) on success. |
| On failure, an error value is returned. |
| |
| ## ERRORS |
| |
| **ZX_ERR_INVALID_ARGS** *out* is an invalid pointer, or *options* is nonzero. |
| |
| **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. |
