SBEvent

class lldb.SBEvent(*args)

API clients can register to receive events.

For example, check out the following output:

Try wait for event...
Event description: 0x103d0bb70 Event: broadcaster = 0x1009c8410, type = 0x00000001, data = { process = 0x1009c8400 (pid = 21528), state = running}
Event data flavor: Process::ProcessEventData
Process state: running

Try wait for event...
Event description: 0x103a700a0 Event: broadcaster = 0x1009c8410, type = 0x00000001, data = { process = 0x1009c8400 (pid = 21528), state = stopped}
Event data flavor: Process::ProcessEventData
Process state: stopped

Try wait for event...
Event description: 0x103d0d4a0 Event: broadcaster = 0x1009c8410, type = 0x00000001, data = { process = 0x1009c8400 (pid = 21528), state = exited}
Event data flavor: Process::ProcessEventData
Process state: exited

Try wait for event...
timeout occurred waiting for event...
