       struct udev_device
                                                       *udev_monitor_receive_device(struct udev_monitor *udev_monitor);

                                                udev_monitor_set_receive_buffer_size(struct udev_monitor *udev_monitor,

       On success, udev_monitor_receive_device() returns a pointer to a
       newly referenced device that was received via the monitor. The
       caller is responsible to drop this reference when done. On
       failure, NULL is returned.
       On success, udev_monitor_enable_receiving() and
       udev_monitor_set_receive_buffer_size() return an integer greater
       than, or equal to, 0. On failure, a negative error code is
       returned.
       On success, udev_monitor_get_fd() returns the file descriptor used
       by this monitor. On failure, a negative error code is returned.
       udev_monitor_get_udev() always returns a pointer to the udev
       context that this monitor is associated with.
       udev_monitor_receive_device(), udev_monitor_enable_receiving(),
       udev_monitor_set_receive_buffer_size(), udev_monitor_get_fd(), and
       udev_monitor_get_udev() were added in version 221.
