    <title>Description</title>

    <para><function>sd_event_source_set_prepare()</function> may be
    used to set a preparation callback for the event source object
    specified as <parameter>source</parameter>. The callback function
    specified as <parameter>callback</parameter> will be invoked
    immediately before the event loop goes to sleep to wait for
    incoming events. It is invoked with the user data pointer passed
    when the event source was created. The event source will be disabled
    if the callback function returns a negative error code. The callback
    function may be used to reconfigure the precise events to wait for.
    If the <parameter>callback</parameter> parameter is passed as <constant>NULL</constant>
    the callback function is reset. </para>

    <para>Event source objects have no preparation callback associated
    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>. Preparation
    callback functions are supported for all event source types with
    the exception of those created with
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_exit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. Preparation
    callback functions are dispatched in the order indicated by the
    event source's priority field, as set with
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_set_priority</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. Preparation
    callbacks of disabled event sources (see
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_set_enabled</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>)
    are not invoked.</para>

    <title>Return Value</title>

    <para>On success, <function>sd_event_source_set_prepare()</function> returns a non-negative integer. On
    failure, it returns a negative errno-style error code.</para>
