EVENT* ev_read ()

Description

ev_read returns a pointer to the next event in the queue or NULL if the queue is empty. Multiple calls to this routine return the same pointer until ev_pop is called.

An error occurs if this routine is called from a program without an open event queue.

Return values

This routine returns NULL if there is no event to read or if there is not an open event queue.
