NAME

       sc_wait_for_event - Wait for an event on a smart card reader

SYNOPSIS

           #include <opensc.h>

           int sc_wait_for_event(sc_reader_t *readers[], int slots[], size_t numslots,
                                 unsigned int event_mask,
                                 int *reader, unsigned int *event, int timeout);

DESCRIPTION

       This function blocks until an event occurs on any of the readers/slots
       specified. The readers and slots fields list the readers and respective
       slots to be watched.  num_slots holds the total number of slots passed.
       The event_mask parameter specifies the types of events to wait for.
       This may be a combination of the following flags:

       SC_EVENT_CARD_REMOVED
           A card was removed from the reader/slot.

       SC_EVENT_CARD_INSERTED
           A card was inserted into the reader/slot.

       On returning, the reader parameter holds the reader which generated an
       event, and event holds the event flag, as in event_mask.

       The timeout parameter may be used to specify the maximum amount of time
       to wait for an event, in milliseconds. This may be set to -1 to wait
       forever.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns 0 if successful, 1 if a timeout occurred, or a negative value
       in case of error.
