    <title>Description</title>

    <para><function>sd_event_source_set_enabled()</function> may be
    used to enable or disable the event source object specified as
    <parameter>source</parameter>. The <parameter>enabled</parameter>
    parameter takes one of <constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant> (to
    enable), <constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant> (to disable) or
    <constant>SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</constant>. If invoked with
    <constant>SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</constant> the event source will be
    enabled but automatically reset to
    <constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant> after the event source was
    dispatched once.</para>

    <para>Event sources that are disabled will not result in event
    loop wakeups and will not be dispatched, until they are enabled
    again.</para>

    <para><function>sd_event_source_get_enabled()</function> may be
    used to query whether the event source object
    <parameter>source</parameter> is currently enabled or not. It
    returns the enablement state (one of <constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant>,
    <constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant>, <constant>SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</constant>)
    in <parameter>enabled</parameter>, if it is not <constant>NULL</constant>.
    It also returns true if the event source is not disabled.</para>

    <para>Event source objects are enabled when they are first created
    with calls such as
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_io</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_time</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. However,
    depending on the event source type they are enabled continuously
    (<constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant>) or only for a single invocation
    of the event source handler
    (<constant>SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</constant>). For details see the
    respective manual pages.</para>

    <para>As event source objects stay active and may be dispatched as
    long as there is at least one reference to them, in many cases it
    is a good idea to combine a call to
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    with a prior call to
    <function>sd_event_source_set_enabled()</function> with
    <constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant>, to ensure the event source is
    not dispatched again until all other remaining references are dropped.</para>

    <title>Return Value</title>

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