    <title>Description</title>
    <para><function>drmHandleEvent</function> processes outstanding DRM events
          on the DRM file-descriptor passed as <parameter>fd</parameter>. This
          function should be called after the DRM file-descriptor has polled
          readable; it will read the events and use the passed-in
          <parameter>evctx</parameter> structure to call function pointers
          with the parameters noted below:

<programlisting>
typedef struct _drmEventContext {
    int version;
    void (*vblank_handler) (int fd,
                            unsigned int sequence,
                            unsigned int tv_sec,
                            unsigned int tv_usec,
                            void *user_data)
    void (*page_flip_handler) (int fd,
                               unsigned int sequence,
                               unsigned int tv_sec,
                               unsigned int tv_usec,
                               void *user_data)
} drmEventContext, *drmEventContextPtr;
</programlisting>

          </para>

  <refsect1>
    <title>Return Value</title>
    <para><function>drmHandleEvent</function> returns <literal>0</literal> on
          success, or if there is no data to read from the file-descriptor.
          Returns <literal>-1</literal> if the read on the file-descriptor fails
          or returns less than a full event record.</para>
