1341 Because you probably are only interested in a subset of events,
1342 you would likely use the <filename>[eventmask]</filename> flag
1343 for your event handler to be sure that only certain events
1344 trigger the handler.
1345 Given the previous example, suppose you only wanted the
1346 <filename>bb.build.TaskFailed</filename> event to trigger that
1347 event handler.
1348 Use the flag as follows:
1349 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
1350 addhandler myclass_eventhandler
1351 myclass_eventhandler[eventmask] = "bb.build.TaskFailed"
1352 python myclass_eventhandler() {
1353 from bb.event import getName
1354 from bb import data
1355 print("The name of the Event is %s" % getName(e))
1356 print("The file we run for is %s" % data.getVar('FILE', e.data, True))
