+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_event_add_child()</function> adds a new child
+ state change event source to an event loop object. The event loop
+ is specified in <parameter>event</parameter>, the event source is
+ returned in the <parameter>source</parameter> parameter. The
+ <parameter>pid</parameter> parameter specifies the process to
+ watch. The <parameter>handler</parameter> must reference a
+ function to call when the process changes state. 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>const
+ siginfo_t</structname> structure containing the information about
+ the event. The <parameter>options</parameter> parameter determines
+ which state changes will be watched for. It must contain an OR-ed
+ mask of <constant>WEXITED</constant> (watch for the child
+ terminating), <constant>WSTOPPED</constant> (watch for the child
+ being stopped by a signal), and <constant>WCONTINUED</constant>
+ (watch for the child being resumed by a signal). See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>waitid</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for futher information.</para>
+
+ <para>Only a single handler may be installed for a specific
+ child. The handler is enabled
+ for a single event (<constant>SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</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 be
+ disabled after the invocation, even if
+ <constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant> mode is set.
+ </para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_event_source_get_child_pid()</function>
+ retrieves the configured <parameter>pid</parameter> of a child
+ state change event source created previously with
+ <function>sd_event_add_child()</function>. It takes the event
+ source object as the <parameter>source</parameter> parameter and a
+ pointer to <type>pid_t</type> to return the result in.
