.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBsysevent_bind_handle()\fR function allocates memory associated with a
subscription handle and binds it to the caller's \fIevent_handler\fR. The
\fIevent_handler\fR is invoked during subsequent system event notifications
once a subscription has been made with
\fBsysevent_subscribe_event\fR(3SYSEVENT).
.sp
.LP
The system event is represented by the argument \fIev\fR and is passed as an
argument to the invoked event delivery function, \fIevent_handler\fR.
.sp
.LP
Additional threads are created to service communication between
\fBsyseventd\fR(8) and the calling process and to run the event handler
routine, \fIevent_handler\fR.
.sp
.LP
The \fBsysevent_unbind_handle()\fR function deallocates memory and other
resources associated with a subscription handle and deactivates all system
event notifications for the calling process. All event notifications are
guaranteed to stop upon return from \fBsysevent_unbind_handle()\fR.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
The \fBsysevent_bind_handle()\fR function returns a valid \fBsysevent\fR
subscriber handle if the handle is successfully allocated. Otherwise,
\fINULL\fR is returned and \fBerrno\fR is set to indicate the error.
.sp
.LP
The \fBsysevent_unbind_handle()\fR function returns no value.
.SH ERRORS
.sp
.LP
The \fBsysevent_bind_handle()\fR function will fail if:
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBEACCES\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 10n
The calling process has an ID other than the privileged user.
.RE
.sp
.ne 2

\fB\fBEBUSY\fR\fR

.RS 10n
There are no resources available.
.RE
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBEINVAL\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 10n
The pointer to the function \fIevent_handler\fR is \fINULL\fR.
.RE
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBEMFILE\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 10n
The process has too many open descriptors.
.RE
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBENOMEM\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 10n
There are insufficient resources to allocate the handle.

.SH NOTES
.sp
.LP
Event notifications are revoked by \fBsyseventd\fR when the bound process dies.
Event notification is suspended if a signal is caught and handled by the
\fIevent_handler\fR thread. Event notification is also suspended when the
calling process attempts to use \fBfork\fR(2) or \fBfork1\fR(2). Event
notifications might be lost during suspension periods.
.sp
.LP
The \fBlibsysevent\fR interfaces do not work at all in non-global zones.
