    <title>Description</title>

    <para>Those three functions add new event sources 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 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_defer()</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>). 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>
  </refsect1>

  <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>

  <refsect1>
    <title>Errors</title>

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

    <variablelist>
      <varlistentry>
        <term><varname>-ENOMEM</varname></term>

        <listitem><para>Not enough memory to allocate an object.</para></listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><varname>-EINVAL</varname></term>

        <listitem><para>An invalid argument has been passed.</para></listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><varname>-ESTALE</varname></term>

        <listitem><para>The event loop is already terminated.</para></listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><varname>-ECHILD</varname></term>

        <listitem><para>The event loop has been created in a different process.</para></listitem>
      </varlistentry>

    </variablelist>
