45    <title>Description</title>
46
47    <para><function>sd_event_exit()</function> requests the event loop
48    specified in the <parameter>event</parameter> event loop object to
49    exit. The <parameter>code</parameter> parameter may be any integer
50    value and is returned as-is by
51    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_loop</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
52    after the last event loop iteration. It may also be queried
53    using <function>sd_event_get_exit_code()</function>, see
54    below. </para>
55
56    <para>When exiting is requested the event loop will stop listening
57    for and dispatching regular event sources. Instead it will proceed
58    with executing only event sources registered with
59    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_exit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
60    in the order defined by their priority. After all exit event
61    sources have been dispatched the event loop is terminated.</para>
62
63    <para>If <function>sd_event_exit()</function> is invoked a second
64    time while the event loop is still processing exit event sources,
65    the exit code stored in the event loop object is updated, but
66    otherwise no further operation is executed.</para>
67
68    <para><function>sd_event_get_exit_code()</function> may be used to
69    query the exit code passed into
70    <function>sd_event_exit()</function> earlier.</para>
71
72    <para>While the full positive and negative integer ranges may be used
73    for the exit code, care should be taken not pick exit codes that
74    conflict with regular exit codes returned by
75    <function>sd_event_loop()</function>, if these exit codes shall be
76    distinguishable.</para>
77
78    <para>Note that for most event source types passing the callback pointer as <constant>NULL</constant> in
79    the respective constructor call (i.e. in
80    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_time</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
81    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_signal</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
82    …) has the effect of <function>sd_event_exit()</function> being invoked once the event source triggers,
83    with the specified userdata pointer cast to an integer as the exit code parameter. This is useful to
84    automatically terminate an event loop after some condition, such as a time-out or reception of
85    <constant>SIGTERM</constant> or similar. See the documentation for the respective constructor call for
86    details.</para>

92    <para>On success, <function>sd_event_exit()</function> and <function>sd_event_get_exit_code()</function>
