+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para>These three functions add new static event sources to an event loop. The event loop object is
+ specified in the <parameter>event</parameter> parameter, the event source object is returned in the
+ <parameter>source</parameter> parameter. The event sources are enabled statically and will "fire" when
+ the event loop is run and the conditions described below are met.</para>
+
+ <para>The <parameter>handler</parameter> is a function to call or <constant>NULL</constant>. The handler
+ function will be passed the <parameter>userdata</parameter> pointer, which may be chosen freely by the
+ caller. The handler may return negative to signal an error (see below), other return values are
+ ignored. If <parameter>handler</parameter> is <constant>NULL</constant>, a default handler that calls
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_exit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> will be
+ used.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_event_add_defer()</function> adds a new event
+ source that will be dispatched instantly, before the event loop
+ goes to sleep again and waits for new events. By default, the
+ handler will be called once
+ (<constant>SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</constant>). Note that if the event
+ source is set to <constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant> the event loop
+ will never go to sleep again, but continuously call the handler,
+ possibly interleaved with other event sources.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_event_add_post()</function> adds a new event
+ source that is run before the event loop will sleep and wait
+ for new events, but only after at least one other non-post event
+ source was dispatched. By default, the source is enabled
+ permanently (<constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant>). Note that this
+ event source type will still allow the event loop to go to sleep
+ again, even if set to <constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant>, as long as
+ no other event source is ever triggered.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_event_add_exit()</function> adds a new event
+ source that will be dispatched when the event loop is terminated
+ with <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_exit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
+
+ <para>The
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_set_enabled</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ function may be used to enable the event source permanently
+ (<constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant>) or to make it fire just once
+ (<constant>SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</constant>).</para>
+
+ <para>If the handler function returns a negative error code, it will either be disabled after the
+ invocation, even if the <constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant> mode was requested before, or it will cause the
+ loop to terminate, see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_set_exit_on_failure</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>To destroy an event source object use
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ but note that the event source is only removed from the event loop
+ when all references to the event source are dropped. To make sure
+ an event source does not fire anymore, even when there's still a
+ reference to it kept, consider setting the event source to
+ <constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant> with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_set_enabled</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
+
+ <para>If the second parameter of these functions is passed as <constant>NULL</constant> no reference to
+ the event source object is returned. In this case the event source is considered "floating", and will be
+ destroyed implicitly when the event loop itself is destroyed.</para>
+
+ <para>If the <parameter>handler</parameter> parameter to <function>sd_event_add_defer()</function> or
+ <function>sd_event_add_post()</function> is <constant>NULL</constant>, and the event source fires, this
+ will be considered a request to exit the event loop. In this case, the <parameter>userdata</parameter>
+ parameter, cast to an integer, is passed as the exit code parameter to
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_exit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. Similar
+ functionality is not available for <function>sd_event_add_exit()</function>, as these types of event
+ sources are only dispatched when exiting anyway.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Return Value</title>
+
+ <para>On success, these functions return 0 or a positive
+ integer. On failure, they return a negative errno-style error
+ code.</para>
