Function \fB\fRipc_wait_event\fB\fR returns an \fBevent type\fR structure.
|
||
|
|
The event may be a (dis)connection, received data or an error.
|
||
|
|
It also can be \fBIPC_EVENT_TYPE_EXTRA_SOCKET\fR since an arbitrary file descriptor can be added to the \fBipc_ctx\fR structure with \fB\fRipc_add_fd\fB\fR.
