    event source to an event loop object. The event loop is specified
    in <em class="parameter"><code>event</code></em>, the event source is returned in
    the <em class="parameter"><code>source</code></em> parameter. The
    <em class="parameter"><code>clock</code></em> parameter takes a clock identifier,
    one of <code class="constant">CLOCK_REALTIME</code>,
    <code class="constant">CLOCK_MONOTONIC</code> and
    <code class="constant">CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM</code>. See
    <a href="http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/timerfd_create.2.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">timerfd_create</span>(2)</span></a>
    for details regarding the various types of clocks. The
    <em class="parameter"><code>usec</code></em> parameter takes a time value in
    microseconds, relative to the clock's epoch specifying when the
    timer shall elapse the earliest. The
    <em class="parameter"><code>accuracy</code></em> parameter takes an additional
    accuracy value in microseconds specifying a time the timer event
    may be delayed. Specify 0 for selecting the default accuracy
    (250ms). Specify 1 for most accurate timers. Consider specifying
    60000000 or larger (1h) for long-running events that may be
    delayed substantially. Picking higher accuracy values allows the
    system to coalesce timer events more aggressively, thus improving
    power efficiency. The <em class="parameter"><code>handler</code></em> shall
    reference a function to call when the timer elapses. The handler
    function will be passed the <em class="parameter"><code>userdata</code></em>
    pointer, which may be chosen freely by the caller. The handler is
    also passed the configured time it was triggered, however it might
    actually have been called at a slightly later time, subject to the
    specified accuracy value, the kernel timer slack (see
    <a href="http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/prctl.2.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">prctl</span>(2)</span></a>)
    and additional scheduling latencies.</p><p>By default, the timer will elapse once
    (<code class="constant">SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</code>), but this may be changed
    with
    <a href="sd_event_source_set_enabled.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">sd_event_source_set_enabled</span>(3)</span></a>.
    If the handler function returns a negative error code, it will be
    disabled after the invocation, even if
    <code class="constant">SD_EVENT_ON</code> mode is set.
