Summary
Create an event.
Declaration
#include <zircon/syscalls.h>
zx_status_t zx_event_create(uint32_t options, zx_handle_t* out);
Description
zx_event_create() creates an event, which is an object that is signalable. That
is, the signals ZX_EVENT_SIGNALED and ZX_USER_SIGNAL_n (where n is 0 through
7) can be manipulated using zx_object_signal().
The newly-created handle will have the basic
rights plus ZX_RIGHT_SIGNAL.
Rights
Caller job policy must allow ZX_POL_NEW_EVENT.
Return value
zx_event_create() returns ZX_OK and a valid event handle (via out) on success.
On failure, an error value is returned.
Errors
ZX_ERR_INVALID_ARGS out is an invalid pointer, or options is nonzero.
ZX_ERR_NO_MEMORY Failure due to lack of memory.
There is no good way for userspace to handle this (unlikely) error.
In a future build this error will no longer occur.
