    <title>Description</title>

    <para><function>sd_event_set_name()</function> can be used to set
    an arbitrary name for the event source
    <parameter>source</parameter>. This name will be used in error
    messages generated by
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-event</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    for this source. Specified <parameter>name</parameter> must point
    to a <constant>NUL</constant>-terminated string or be
    <constant>NULL</constant>. In the latter case, the name will be
    unset. The string is copied internally, so the
    <parameter>name</parameter> argument is not referenced after the
    function returns.</para>

    <para><function>sd_event_set_name()</function> can be used to
    query the current name assigned to source
    <parameter>source</parameter>. It returns a pointer to the current
    name (possibly <constant>NULL</constant>) in
    <parameter>name</parameter>.</para>
  </refsect1>

  <refsect1>
    <title>Return Value</title>

    <para>On success, <function>sd_event_set_name()</function> and
    <function>sd_event_get_name()</function> return a
    non-negative 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>

        pointer to an <structname>sd_event_source</structname>
        structure or the <parameter>name</parameter> argument for
        <function>sd_event_get_name()</function> is
        <constant>NULL</constant>.</para></listitem>
