    <title>Description</title>

    <para><function>sd_event_source_set_description()</function> may
    be used to set an arbitrary descriptive name for the event source
    object specified as <parameter>source</parameter>. This name will
    be used in debugging messages generated by
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-event</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    for this event source, and may be queried using
    <function>sd_event_source_get_description()</function> for
    debugging purposes. The <parameter>description</parameter> parameter shall
    point to a <constant>NUL</constant>-terminated string or be
    <constant>NULL</constant>. In the latter case, the descriptive
    name will be unset. The string is copied internally, hence the
    <parameter>description</parameter> argument is not referenced
    after the function returns.</para>

    <para><function>sd_event_source_get_description()</function> may
    be used to query the current descriptive name assigned to the
    event source object <parameter>source</parameter>. It returns a
    pointer to the current name in <parameter>description</parameter>,
    stored in memory internal to the event source. The memory is
    invalidated when the event source is destroyed or the descriptive
    name is changed.</para>

    <para>Event source objects generally have no description set when
    they are created, except for UNIX signal event sources created
    with
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_signal</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
    whose descriptive name is initialized to the signal's C constant
    name (e.g. <literal>SIGINT</literal> or
    <literal>SIGTERM</literal>).</para>

    <title>Return Value</title>

    <para>On success, <function>sd_event_source_set_description()</function> and
    <function>sd_event_source_get_description()</function> return a non-negative integer. On failure, they
    return a negative errno-style error code.</para>
