54    <title>Description</title>
55
56    <para><function>sd_event_source_set_enabled()</function> may be
57    used to enable or disable the event source object specified as
58    <parameter>source</parameter>. The <parameter>enabled</parameter>
59    parameter takes one of <constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant> (to
60    enable), <constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant> (to disable) or
61    <constant>SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</constant>. If invoked with
62    <constant>SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</constant> the event source will be
63    enabled but automatically reset to
64    <constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant> after the event source was
65    dispatched once.</para>
66
67    <para>Event sources that are disabled will not result in event
68    loop wakeups and will not be dispatched, until they are enabled
69    again.</para>
70
71    <para><function>sd_event_source_get_enabled()</function> may be
72    used to query whether the event source object
73    <parameter>source</parameter> is currently enabled or not. It
74    returns the enablement state (one of <constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant>,
75    <constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant>, <constant>SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</constant>)
76    in <parameter>enabled</parameter>, if it is not <constant>NULL</constant>.
77    It also returns true if the event source is not disabled.</para>
78
79    <para>Event source objects are enabled when they are first created
80    with calls such as
81    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_io</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
82    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_time</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. However,
83    depending on the event source type they are enabled continuously
84    (<constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant>) or only for a single invocation
85    of the event source handler
86    (<constant>SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</constant>). For details see the
87    respective manual pages.</para>
88
89    <para>As event source objects stay active and may be dispatched as
90    long as there is at least one reference to them, in many cases it
91    is a good idea to combine a call to
92    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
93    with a prior call to
94    <function>sd_event_source_set_enabled()</function> with
95    <constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant>, to ensure the event source is
96    not dispatched again until all other remaining references are dropped.</para>

100    <title>Return Value</title>
101
102    <para>On success, <function>sd_event_source_set_enabled()</function> returns a non-negative
103    integer. <function>sd_event_source_get_enabled()</function> returns zero if the source is disabled
104    (<constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant>) and a positive integer otherwise. On failure, they return a negative
105    errno-style error code.</para>
