The function fails if (\fIflags\fP &BUS_NOWAIT) +and there is not already a message waiting on the bus. Received messages +shall be copied and parsed, and acted upon, in a separate thread, and +.BR bus_poll () +or +.BR bus_poll_stop () +called again as soon as possible. +.PP +The +.BR bus_poll_start () +funcion must be called before +.BR bus_poll () +is called for the first time. When the process is done listening on the +bus it must call the +.BR bus_poll_stop () +function. +.PP +The +.BR bus_poll_timed () +function behaves like +.BR bus_poll (), +except if it is not able to read a message within the specified time, +it will fail and set \fIerrno\fP to \fBEAGAIN\fP. The time is specified +as an absolute time using the parameter \fItimeout\fP. The behaviour is +unspecified if \fItimeout\fP is \fINULL\fP. \fItimeout\fP is measured +with the clock whose ID is specified by the \fIclockid\fP parameter. This +clock must be a predicitable clock. +.SH RETURN VALUES +Upon successful completion, the functions +.BR bus_poll_start () +and +.BR bus_poll_stop () +returns 0. Otherwise the functions returns -1 and sets \fIerrno\fP to +indicate the error. +.PP +Upon successful completion, the functions +.BR bus_poll () +and +.BR bus_poll_timed () +returns the received message. Otherwise the function returns \fINULL\fP +and sets \fIerrno\fP to indicate the error. +.SH ERRORS +The +.BR bus_poll (3), +.BR bus_poll_start (3) +and +.BR bus_poll_stop (3) +functions may fail and set \fIerrno\fP to any of the errors specified for +.BR semop (3). +The +.BR bus_poll_timed (3) +function may also set \fIerrno\fP to any of the errors specified for +.BR clock_gettime (3). +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR bus-create (1), +.BR bus (5), +.BR libbus (7), +.BR bus_open (3), +.BR bus_write (3), +.BR bus_read (3), +.BR semop (3), +.BR clock_gettime (3) +.SH AUTHORS +Principal author, Mattias Andrée.
