.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
These functions operate on contract event endpoint file descriptors obtained
from the \fBcontract\fR(4) file system and event object handles returned by
\fBct_event_read()\fR and \fBct_event_read_critical()\fR.
.sp
.LP
The \fBct_event_read()\fR function reads the next event from the queue
referenced by the file descriptor \fIfd\fR and initializes the event object
handle pointed to by \fIevthndlp\fR. After a successful call to
\fBct_event_read()\fR, the caller is responsible for calling
\fBct_event_free()\fR on this event object handle when it has finished using
it.
.sp
.LP
The \fBct_event_read_critical()\fR function behaves like \fBct_event_read()\fR
except that it reads the next critical event from the queue, skipping any
intermediate events.
.sp
.LP
The \fBct_event_reset()\fR function resets the location of the listener to the
beginning of the queue. This function can be used to re-read events, or read
events that were sent before the event endpoint was opened. Informative and
acknowledged critical events, however, might have been removed from the queue.
.sp
.LP
The \fBct_event_reliable()\fR function indicates that no event published to the
specified event queue should be dropped by the system until the specified
listener has read the event. This function requires that the caller have the
{\fBPRIV_CONTRACT_EVENT\fR} privilege in its effective set.
.sp
.LP
The \fBct_event_free()\fR function frees any storage associated with the event
object handle specified by \fIevthndl\fR.
.sp
.LP
The \fBct_event_get_ctid()\fR function returns the ID of the contract that sent
the specified event.
.sp
.LP
The \fBct_event_get_evid()\fR function returns the ID of the specified event.
.sp
.LP
The \fBct_event_get_flags()\fR function returns the event flags for the
specified event. Valid event flags are:
.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBCTE_INFO\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 12n
.rt  
The event is an informative event.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBCTE_ACK\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 12n
.rt  
The event has been acknowledged (for critical and negotiation messages).
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBCTE_NEG\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 12n
.rt  
The message represents an exit negotiation.
.RE

.sp
.LP
The \fBct_event_get_type()\fR function reads the event type. The value is one
of the event types described in \fBcontract\fR(4) or the contract type's manual
page.
.sp
.LP
 The \fBct_event_get_nevid()\fR function reads the negotiation ID from an
\fBCT_EV_NEGEND\fR event.
.sp
.LP
The \fBct_event_get_newct()\fR function obtains the ID of the contract created
when the negotiation referenced by the \fBCT_EV_NEGEND\fR event succeeded. If
no contract was created, \fIctidp\fR will be 0.  If the operation was
cancelled, *\fIctidp\fR will equal the ID of the existing contract.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
Upon successful completion, \fBct_event_read()\fR,
\fBct_event_read_critical()\fR, \fBct_event_reset()\fR,
\fBct_event_reliable()\fR, \fBct_event_get_nevid()\fR, and
\fBct_event_get_newct()\fR return 0. Otherwise, they return a non-zero error
value.
.sp
.LP
The \fBct_event_get_flags()\fR, \fBct_event_get_ctid()\fR,
\fBct_event_get_evid()\fR, and \fBct_event_get_type()\fR functions return data
as described in the DESCRIPTION.
.SH ERRORS
.sp
.LP
The \fBct_event_reliable()\fR function will fail if:
.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBEPERM\fR\fR
.ad

.rt  
The caller does not have {\fBPRIV_CONTRACT_EVENT\fR} in its effective set.
.RE

.sp
.LP
The \fBct_event_read()\fR and \fBct_event_read_critical()\fR functions will
fail if:
.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBEAGAIN\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 10n
.rt  
The event endpoint was opened \fBO_NONBLOCK\fR and no applicable events were
available to be read.
.RE

.sp
.LP
The The \fBct_event_get_nevid()\fR and \fBct_event_get_newct()\fR functions
will fail if:
.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBEINVAL\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 10n
.rt  
The \fIevthndl\fR argument is not a \fBCT_EV_NEGEND\fR event object.
