<title > Description</title>
<para > <function > sd_event_add_child()</function> adds a new child
state change event source to an event loop object. The event loop
is specified in <parameter > event</parameter> , the event source is
returned in the <parameter > source</parameter> parameter. The
<parameter > pid</parameter> parameter specifies the process to
watch. The <parameter > handler</parameter> must reference a
function to call when the process changes state. The handler
function will be passed the <parameter > userdata</parameter>
pointer, which may be chosen freely by the caller. The handler
also receives a pointer to a <structname > const
siginfo_t</structname> structure containing the information about
the event. The <parameter > options</parameter> parameter determines
which state changes will be watched for. It must contain an OR-ed
mask of <constant > WEXITED</constant> (watch for the child
terminating), <constant > WSTOPPED</constant> (watch for the child
being stopped by a signal), and <constant > WCONTINUED</constant>
(watch for the child being resumed by a signal). See
<citerefentry > <refentrytitle > waitid</refentrytitle> <manvolnum > 2</manvolnum> </citerefentry>
for futher information.</para>
<para > Only a single handler may be installed for a specific
child. The handler is enabled
for a single event (<constant > SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</constant> ),
but this may be
changed with
<citerefentry > <refentrytitle > sd_event_source_set_enabled</refentrytitle> <manvolnum > 3</manvolnum> </citerefentry> .
If the handler function returns a negative error code, it will be
disabled after the invocation, even if
<constant > SD_EVENT_ON</constant> mode is set.
</para>
<para > <function > sd_event_source_get_child_pid()</function>
retrieves the configured <parameter > pid</parameter> of a child
state change event source created previously with
<function > sd_event_add_child()</function> . It takes the event
source object as the <parameter > source</parameter> parameter and a
pointer to <type > pid_t</type> to return the result in.

<title > Return Value</title>
<para > On success, these functions return 0 or a positive
integer. On failure, they return a negative errno-style error
code.</para>
