+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_event_add_signal()</function> adds a new UNIX process signal event source to an event
+ loop. The event loop object is specified in the <parameter>event</parameter> parameter, and the event
+ source object is returned in the <parameter>source</parameter> parameter. The
+ <parameter>signal</parameter> parameter specifies the numeric signal to be handled (see <citerefentry
+ project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>signal</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>).</para>
+
+ <para>The <parameter>handler</parameter> parameter is a function to call when the signal is received 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 also receives a pointer to a
+ <structname>signalfd_siginfo</structname> structure containing information about the received signal. See
+ <citerefentry
+ project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>signalfd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
+ further information. 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>Only a single handler may be installed for a specific signal. The signal must be blocked in all
+ threads before this function is called (using <citerefentry
+ project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>sigprocmask</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry> or
+ <citerefentry
+ project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>pthread_sigmask</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>). For
+ convenience, if the special flag <constant>SD_EVENT_SIGNAL_PROCMASK</constant> is ORed into the specified
+ signal the signal will be automatically masked as necessary, for the calling thread. Note that this only
+ works reliably if the signal is already masked in all other threads of the process, or if there are no
+ other threads at the moment of invocation.</para>
+
+ <para>By default, the event source is enabled permanently (<constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant>), but this
+ may be changed with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_set_enabled</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ 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 if it is still referenced,
+ disable the event source using
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_set_enabled</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ with <constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant>.</para>
+
+ <para>If the second parameter of
+ <function>sd_event_add_signal()</function> is
+ <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_signal()</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>.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_event_source_get_signal()</function> returns
+ the configured signal number of an event source created previously
+ with <function>sd_event_add_signal()</function>. It takes the
+ event source object as the <parameter>source</parameter>
+ parameter.</para>

+ <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>
