If NULL is passed as the event argument, these errors will result in a

-RETURN VALUE
+Return Value
+============
spu_run returns the value of the spu_status register or -1 to indicate
an error and set errno to one of the error codes listed below. The
spu_status register value contains a bit mask of status codes and
optionally a 14 bit code returned from the stop-and-signal instruction
on the SPU. The bit masks for the status codes are:

- 0x02 SPU was stopped by stop-and-signal.
+ 0x02
+ SPU was stopped by stop-and-signal.

+Notes
+=====
spu_run is meant to be used from libraries that implement a more
abstract interface to SPUs, not to be used from regular applications.

ommended libraries.
