+ <para><function>sd_login_monitor_unrefp()</function> is similar to
+ <function>sd_login_monitor_unref()</function> but takes a pointer
+ to a pointer to an <type>sd_login_monitor</type> object. This call
+ is useful in conjunction with GCC's and LLVM's <ulink
+ url="https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Variable-Attributes.html">Clean-up
+ Variable Attribute</ulink>. Note that this function is defined as
+ inline function. Use a declaration like the following, in order to
+ allocate a login monitor object that is freed automatically as the
+ code block is left:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>{
+ __attribute__((cleanup(sd_login_monitor_unrefp)) sd_login_monitor *m = NULL;
+ int r;
+ …
+ r = sd_login_monitor_default(&m);

+ …
+}</programlisting>

<para><function>sd_login_monitor_flush()</function> may be used to
reset the wakeup state of the monitor object. Whenever an event
causes the monitor to wake up the event loop via the file
state. If this call is not invoked, the file descriptor will
immediately wake up the event loop again.</para>

+ <function>sd_login_monitor_unrefp()</function> execute no
+ operation if the passed in monitor object is
+ <constant>NULL</constant>.</para>

<para><function>sd_login_monitor_get_fd()</function> may be used
to retrieve the file descriptor of the monitor object that may be
integrated in an application defined event loop, based around
is no timeout to wait for this will fill in <constant>(uint64_t)
-1</constant> instead. Note that <function>poll()</function> takes
a relative timeout in milliseconds rather than an absolute timeout
- in microseconds. To convert the absolute 'us' timeout into
+ in microseconds. To convert the absolute 'µs' timeout into
relative 'ms', use code like the following:</para>
<programlisting>uint64_t t;
int msec;
sd_login_monitor_get_timeout(m, &t);
if (t == (uint64_t) -1)
- msec = -1;

- msec = t > n ? (int) ((t - n + 999) / 1000) : 0;
