+    <title>Description</title>
+
+    <para>The low-level <function>sd_event_prepare()</function>,
+    <function>sd_event_wait()</function> and
+    <function>sd_event_dispatch()</function> functions may be used to
+    execute specific phases of an event loop. See
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_run</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    and
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_loop</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    for higher-level functions that execute individual but complete
+    iterations of an event loop or run it continuously.</para>
+
+    <para><function>sd_event_prepare()</function> checks for pending
+    events and arms necessary timers. If any events are ready to be
+    processed ("pending"), it returns a positive, non-zero value, and the caller
+    should process these events with
+    <function>sd_event_dispatch()</function>.</para>
+
+    <para><function>sd_event_dispatch()</function> dispatches the
+    highest priority event source that has a pending event. On
+    success, <function>sd_event_dispatch()</function> returns either
+    zero, which indicates that no further event sources may be
+    dispatched and exiting of the event loop was requested via
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_exit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>;
+    or a positive non-zero value, which means that an event source was
+    dispatched and the loop returned to its initial state, and the
+    caller should initiate the next event loop iteration by invoking
+    <function>sd_event_prepare()</function> again.</para>
+
+    <para>In case <function>sd_event_prepare()</function> returned
+    zero, <function>sd_event_wait()</function> should be called to
+    wait for further events or a timeout. If any events are ready to
+    be processed, it returns a positive, non-zero value, and the
+    events should be dispatched with
+    <function>sd_event_dispatch()</function>. Otherwise, the event
+    loop returned to its initial state and the next event loop
+    iteration should be initiated by invoking
+    <function>sd_event_prepare()</function> again.</para>
+
+    <para><function>sd_event_get_state()</function> may be used to
+    determine the state the event loop is currently in. It returns one
+    of the states described below.</para>
+
+    <para><function>sd_event_get_iteration()</function> may be used to determine the current iteration of the event
+    loop. It returns an unsigned 64bit integer containing a counter that increases monotonically with each iteration of
+    the event loop, starting with 0. The counter is increased at the time of the
+    <function>sd_event_prepare()</function> invocation.</para>
+
+    <para>All five functions take, as the first argument, the event loop object <parameter>event</parameter> that has
+    been created with <function>sd_event_new()</function>. The timeout for <function>sd_event_wait()</function> is
+    specified in <parameter>usec</parameter> in microseconds.  <constant>(uint64_t) -1</constant> may be used to
+    specify an infinite timeout.</para>
