+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_event_get_fd()</function> returns the file
+ descriptor that an event loop object returned by the
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_new</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ function uses to wait for events. This file descriptor may itself
+ be polled for
+ <constant>POLLIN</constant>/<constant>EPOLLIN</constant>
+ events. This makes it possible to embed an
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-event</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ event loop into another, possibly foreign, event loop.</para>
+
+ <para>The returned file descriptor refers to an <citerefentry
+ project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>epoll</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ object. It is recommended not to alter it by invoking
+ <citerefentry
+ project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>epoll_ctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ on it, in order to avoid interference with the event loop's inner
+ logic and assumptions.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Return Value</title>
+
+ <para>On success, <function>sd_event_get_fd()</function> returns a
+ non-negative file descriptor. On failure, it returns a negative
+ errno-style error code.</para>
