+ <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. The handler
+ function will be passed the <parameter>userdata</parameter>
+ pointer, which may be chosen freely by the caller.</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 be disabled after the invocation, even if the
+ <constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant> mode was requested before.</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
+ NULL 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>

+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Return Value</title>
+
+ <para>On success, this functions return 0 or a positive
+ integer. On failure, they return a negative errno-style error
+ code.</para>
