+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_event_source_unref()</function> may be used to
+ decrement by one the reference counter of the event source object
+ specified as <parameter>source</parameter>. The reference counter
+ is initially set to one, when the event source is created with calls
+ such as
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_io</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ or
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_time</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. When
+ the reference counter reaches zero it is removed from its event loop
+ object and destroyed.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_event_source_unrefp()</function> is similar to
+ <function>sd_event_source_unref()</function> but takes a pointer to a
+ pointer to an <type>sd_event_source</type> object. This call is useful in
+ conjunction with GCC's and LLVM's <ulink
+ url="https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Variable-Attributes.html">Clean-up
+ Variable Attribute</ulink>. Note that this function is defined as
+ inline function.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_event_source_ref()</function> may be used
+ to increase by one the reference counter of the event source object
+ specified as <parameter>source</parameter>.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_event_source_unref()</function>,
+ <function>sd_bus_creds_unrefp()</function> and
+ <function>sd_bus_creds_ref()</function> execute no operation if
+ the passed event source object is
+ <constant>NULL</constant>.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that event source objects stay alive and may be
+ dispatched as long as they have a reference counter greater than
+ zero. In order to drop a reference of an event source and make
+ sure the associated event source handler function is not called
+ anymore it is recommended to combine a call of
+ <function>sd_event_source_unref()</function> with a prior call to
+ <function>sd_event_source_set_enabled()</function> with
+ <constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant>.</para>

+ <title>Return Value</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_event_source_unref()</function> always returns
+ <constant>NULL</constant>.
+ <function>sd_event_source_ref()</function> always returns the
+ event source object passed in.</para>
