# xpc_set_event_stream_handler

Consume a `com.apple.iokit.matching` event, then run the executable specified in the first parameter.

This is useful when creating `launchd` LaunchAgents that are triggered by IO events (e.g., run a script when keyboard/mouse attached). Failing to consume the `com.apple.iokit.matching` event will result in the executable being called [repeatedly](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13987671/launchd-plist-runs-every-10-seconds-instead-of-just-once).

This isn't really documented anywhere other than the `man` page for `xpc_set_event_stream_handler`.
