<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_event_source_set_description()</function> may
be used to set an arbitrary descriptive name for the event source
object specified as <parameter>source</parameter>. This name will
be used in debugging messages generated by
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-event</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for this event source, and may be queried using
<function>sd_event_source_get_description()</function> for
debugging purposes. The <parameter>description</parameter> parameter shall
point to a <constant>NUL</constant>-terminated string or be
<constant>NULL</constant>. In the latter case, the descriptive
name will be unset. The string is copied internally, hence the
<parameter>description</parameter> argument is not referenced
after the function returns.</para>
<para><function>sd_event_source_get_description()</function> may
be used to query the current descriptive name assigned to the
event source object <parameter>source</parameter>. It returns a
pointer to the current name in <parameter>description</parameter>,
stored in memory internal to the event source. The memory is
invalidated when the event source is destroyed or the descriptive
name is changed.</para>
<para>Event source objects generally have no description set when
they are created, except for UNIX signal event sources created
with
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_signal</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
whose descriptive name is initialized to the signal's C constant
name (e.g. <literal>SIGINT</literal> or
<literal>SIGTERM</literal>).</para>

<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On success, <function>sd_event_source_set_description()</function> and
<function>sd_event_source_get_description()</function> return a
non-negative integer. On failure, they return a negative
errno-style error code.</para>
