+    <title>Description</title>
+
+    <para><function>sd_event_set_watchdog()</function> may be used to
+    enable or disable automatic watchdog notification support in the
+    event loop object specified in the <parameter>event</parameter>
+    parameter. Specifically, depending on the <parameter>b</parameter>
+    boolean argument this will make sure the event loop wakes up in
+    regular intervals and sends watchdog notification messages to the
+    service manager, if this was requested by the service
+    manager. Watchdog support is determined with
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_watchdog_enabled</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+    and watchdog messages are sent with
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_notify</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. See
+    the <varname>WatchdogSec=</varname> setting in
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    for details on how to enable watchdog support for a service and
+    the protocol used. The wake-up interval is chosen as half the
+    watchdog timeout declared by the service manager via the
+    <varname>$WATCHDOG_USEC</varname> environment variable. If the
+    service manager did not request watchdog notifications, or if the
+    process was not invoked by the service manager this call with a
+    true <parameter>b</parameter> parameter executes no
+    operation. Passing a false <parameter>b</parameter> parameter will
+    disable the automatic sending of watchdog notification messages if
+    it was enabled before. Newly allocated event loop objects have
+    this feature disabled.</para>
+
+    <para>The first watchdog notification message is sent immediately
+    when <function>sd_event_set_watchdog()</function> is invoked with
+    a true <parameter>b</parameter> parameter.</para>
+
+    <para>The watchdog logic is designed to allow the service manager
+    to automatically detect services that ceased processing of
+    incoming events, and thus appear "hung". Watchdog notifications
+    are sent out only at the beginning of each event loop
+    iteration. If an event source dispatch function blocks for an
+    excessively long time and does not return execution to the event
+    loop quickly, this might hence cause the notification message to
+    be delayed, and possibly result in abnormal program termination,
+    as configured in the service unit file.</para>
+
+    <para><function>sd_event_get_watchdog()</function> may be used to
+    determine whether watchdog support was previously requested by a
+    call to <function>sd_event_set_watchdog()</function> with a true
+    <parameter>b</parameter> parameter and successfully
+    enabled.</para>

+    <title>Return Value</title>
+
+    <para>On success, <function>sd_event_set_watchdog()</function> and
+    <function>sd_event_get_watchdog()</function> return a non-zero positive integer if the service manager
+    requested watchdog support and watchdog support was successfully enabled. They return zero if the service
+    manager did not request watchdog support, or if watchdog support was explicitly disabled with a false
+    <parameter>b</parameter> parameter. On failure, they return a negative errno-style error code.</para>
