+ <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
