## Description

The udev daemon processes events asynchronously. All events which do not have interdependencies run in parallel. This exports the current state of the event processing queue, and the current event sequence numbers from the kernel and the udev daemon.

## Details

### struct udev_queue

    struct udev_queue;

Opaque object representing the current event queue in the udev daemon.

### udev_queue_ref ()

    struct udev_queue * udev_queue_ref                      (struct udev_queue *udev_queue);

Take a reference of a udev queue context.

`udev_queue` : | udev queue context
Returns : | the same udev queue context.

### udev_queue_unref ()

    void                udev_queue_unref                    (struct udev_queue *udev_queue);

Drop a reference of a udev queue context. If the refcount reaches zero, the resources of the queue context will be released.

`udev_queue` : | udev queue context

### udev_queue_get_udev ()

    struct udev *       udev_queue_get_udev                 (struct udev_queue *udev_queue);

Retrieve the udev library context the queue context was created with.

`udev_queue` : | udev queue context
Returns : | the udev library context.

### udev_queue_new ()

    struct udev_queue * udev_queue_new                      (struct udev *udev);

The initial refcount is 1, and needs to be decremented to release the resources of the udev queue context.

`udev` : | udev library context
Returns : | the udev queue context, or NULL on error.

### udev_queue_get_udev_is_active ()

    int                 udev_queue_get_udev_is_active       (struct udev_queue *udev_queue);

`udev_queue` : | udev queue context
Returns : | a flag indicating if udev is active.

### udev_queue_get_queue_is_empty ()

    int                 udev_queue_get_queue_is_empty       (struct udev_queue *udev_queue);

`udev_queue` : | udev queue context
Returns : | a flag indicating if udev is currently handling events.

### udev_queue_get_seqnum_is_finished ()

    int                 udev_queue_get_seqnum_is_finished   (struct udev_queue *udev_queue,
                                                             unsigned long long int seqnum);

`udev_queue` : | udev queue context
`seqnum` : | sequence number
Returns : | a flag indicating if the given sequence number is currently active.

### udev_queue_get_seqnum_sequence_is_finished ()

    int                 udev_queue_get_seqnum_sequence_is_finished
                                                            (struct udev_queue *udev_queue,
                                                             unsigned long long int start,
                                                             unsigned long long int end);

`udev_queue` : | udev queue context
`start` : | first event sequence number
`end` : | last event sequence number
Returns : | a flag indicating if any of the sequence numbers in the given range is currently active.

### udev_queue_get_queued_list_entry ()

    struct udev_list_entry * udev_queue_get_queued_list_entry
                                                            (struct udev_queue *udev_queue);

`udev_queue` : | udev queue context
Returns : | the first entry of the list of queued events.

### udev_queue_get_kernel_seqnum ()

    unsigned long long int udev_queue_get_kernel_seqnum     (struct udev_queue *udev_queue);

`udev_queue` : | udev queue context
Returns : | the current kernel event sequence number.

### udev_queue_get_udev_seqnum ()

    unsigned long long int udev_queue_get_udev_seqnum       (struct udev_queue *udev_queue);

`udev_queue` : | udev queue context
Returns : | the last known udev event sequence number.
