    <title>Description</title>

    <para><function>sd_event_source_set_enabled()</function> may be used to enable or disable the event
    source object specified as <parameter>source</parameter>. The <parameter>enabled</parameter> parameter
    takes one of <constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant> (to enable), <constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant> (to disable)
    or <constant>SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</constant>. If invoked with <constant>SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</constant> the event
    source will be enabled but automatically reset to <constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant> after one dispatch.
    For <constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant>, the event source <parameter>source</parameter> may be
    <constant>NULL</constant>, in which case the function does nothing. Otherwise,
    <parameter>source</parameter> must be a valid pointer to an <structname>sd_event_source</structname>
    object.</para>

    <para>Event sources that are disabled will not result in event
    loop wakeups and will not be dispatched, until they are enabled
    again.</para>

    <para><function>sd_event_source_get_enabled()</function> may be used to query whether the event source
    object <parameter>source</parameter> is currently enabled or not. If both the
    <parameter>source</parameter> and the output parameter <parameter>enabled</parameter> are
    <constant>NULL</constant>, this function returns false. Otherwise, <parameter>source</parameter> must be
    a valid pointer to an <structname>sd_event_source</structname> object. If the output parameter
    <parameter>enabled</parameter> is not <constant>NULL</constant>, it is set to the enablement state (one
    of <constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant>, <constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant>,
    <constant>SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</constant>). The function also returns true if the event source is not
    disabled.</para>

    <para>Event source objects are enabled when they are first created
    with calls such as
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_io</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_time</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. However,
    depending on the event source type they are enabled continuously
    (<constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant>) or only for a single invocation
    of the event source handler
    (<constant>SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</constant>). For details see the
    respective manual pages.</para>

    <para>As event source objects stay active and may be dispatched as
    long as there is at least one reference to them, in many cases it
    is a good idea to combine a call to
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    with a prior call to
    <function>sd_event_source_set_enabled()</function> with
    <constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant>, to ensure the event source is
    not dispatched again until all other remaining references are dropped.</para>

  <refsect1>
    <title>Return Value</title>

    <para>On success, <function>sd_event_source_set_enabled()</function> returns a non-negative
    integer. <function>sd_event_source_get_enabled()</function> returns zero if the source is disabled
    (<constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant>) and a positive integer otherwise. On failure, they return a negative
    errno-style error code.</para>

      <title>Errors</title>

      <para>Returned errors may indicate the following problems:</para>
