object_signal - signal an object
object_signal_peer - signal an object's peer
#include <zircon/syscalls.h> zx_status_t zx_object_signal(zx_handle_t handle, uint32_t clear_mask, uint32_t set_mask); zx_status_t zx_object_signal_peer(zx_handle_t handle, uint32_t clear_mask, uint32_t set_mask);
zx_object_signal() and zx_object_signal_peer() set and clear the userspace-accessible signal bits on an object or on the object's peer, respectively. A object peer is the opposite endpoint of a channel, socket, fifo, or eventpair.
Most of the 32 signals are reserved for system use and are assigned to per-object functions, like ZX_CHANNEL_READABLE or ZX_TASK_TERMINATED. 8 signals are available for userspace processes to use as they see fit: ZX_USER_SIGNAL_0 through ZX_USER_SIGNAL_7.
Event objects also allow control over the ZX_EVENT_SIGNALED bit.
Eventpair objects also allow control over the ZX_EPAIR_SIGNALED bit.
The clear_mask is first used to clear any bits indicated, and then the set_mask is used to set any bits indicated.
zx_object_signal() and zx_object_signal_peer() return ZX_OK on success. In the event of failure, a negative error value is returned.
ZX_ERR_BAD_HANDLE handle is not a valid handle.
ZX_ERR_ACCESS_DENIED handle lacks the right ZX_RIGHT_SIGNAL (for zx_object_signal()) or ZX_RIGHT_SIGNAL_PEER (for zx_object_signal_peer()).
ZX_ERR_INVALID_ARGS clear_mask or set_mask contain bits that are not allowed.
ZX_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED zx_object_signal_peer() used on an object lacking a peer.
ZX_ERR_PEER_CLOSED zx_object_signal_peer() called on an object with a closed peer.
ZX_RIGHT_WRITE is used to gate access to signal bits. This will likely change.
