IDirectFBEventBuffer | CreateFileDescriptor

#### Create a file descriptor for reading events.

DFBResult CreateFileDescriptor (
| IDirectFBEventBuffer |  | * | thiz,
| int |  | * | ret_fd
);

This method provides an alternative for reading events from an event buffer. It creates a file descriptor which can be used in select(), poll() or read().

In general only non-threaded applications which already use select() or poll() need it.

Note: This method flushes the event buffer. After calling this method all other methods except IDirectFBEventBuffer::PostEvent() will return DFB_UNSUPPORTED. Calling this method again will return DFB_BUSY.
