    <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>

  <refsect1>
    <title>Errors</title>

    <para>Returned errors may indicate the following problems:</para>

    <variablelist>
