+                <title>Description</title>
+
+                <para><function>sd_journal_get_fd()</function> returns
+                a file descriptor that may be asynchronously polled in
+                an external event loop and is signalled readable as
+                soon as the journal changes, for example because new
+                entries were added. The file descriptor is suitable
+                for usage in
+                <citerefentry><refentrytitle>poll</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+                where it will yield POLLIN on all changes. The call
+                takes one argument: the journal context object.</para>
+
+                <para>After each POLLIN wake-up
+                <function>sd_journal_process()</function> needs to be
+                called to process events and reset the readable state
+                of the file descriptor. This call will also indicate
+                what kind of change has been detected (see below; note
+                that spurious wake-ups are possible).</para>
+
+                <para>A synchronous alternative for using
+                <function>sd_journal_get_fd()</function> and
+                <function>sd_journal_process()</function> is
+                <function>sd_journal_wait()</function>. It will
+                synchronously wait until the journal gets changed up
+                to a certain time-out as specified in its second
+                argument. Pass <literal>(uint64_t) -1</literal> to
+                wait indefinitely. Internally this call simply
+                combines <function>sd_journal_get_fd()</function>,
+                <function>poll()</function> and
+                <function>sd_journal_process()</function> into
+                one.</para>

+
+                <para><function>sd_journal_get_fd()</function> returns a valid file descriptor on success or a negative errno-style error
+                code.</para>
+
+                <para><function>sd_journal_process()</function> and
+                <function>sd_journal_wait()</function> return one of
+                <literal>SD_JOURNAL_NOP</literal>,
+                <literal>SD_JOURNAL_APPEND</literal> or
+                <literal>SD_JOURNAL_INVALIDATE</literal> on success or
+                a negative errno-style error code. If
+                <literal>SD_JOURNAL_NOP</literal> is returned the
+                journal didn't change since the last invocation. If
+                <literal>SD_JOURNAL_APPEND</literal> is returned new
+                entries have been appended to the end of the
+                journal. If <literal>SD_JOURNAL_INVALIDATE</literal>
+                journal files were added or removed (possibly due to
+                rotation). In the latter event live-view UIs should
+                probably refresh their entire display while in the
+                case of <literal>SD_JOURNAL_APPEND</literal> it is
+                sufficient to simply continue reading at the previous
+                end of the journal.</para>
