The event loop is specified in <parameter>event</parameter>, the event source 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 "fire" the next time the event loop is run. By default, the handler will be called once (<constant>SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</constant>).</para> <para><function>sd_event_add_post()</function> adds a new event source that will "fire" if any event handlers are invoked whenever the event loop is run. By default, the source is enabled permanently (<constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant>).</para> <para><function>sd_event_add_exit()</function> adds a new event source that will "fire" when the event loop is terminated with <function>sd_event_exit()</function>.</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>).
