Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 8474b70c3a man: use <constant> markup for errno value
We were inconsistent, but marking them up as constants makes more
sense then as variables.

<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_event_add_signal()</function> adds a new signal
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>signal</parameter> parameter specifies the signal to be handled
(see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>signal</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>).
The <parameter>handler</parameter> must reference a function to
call when the signal is delivered or be <constant>NULL</constant>.
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 struct signalfd_siginfo</structname> containing
the information about the received signal. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>signalfd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for futher information.</para>
<para>Only a single handler may be installed for a specific
signal. The signal will be unblocked, and must be
blocked when the function is called. If the handler is not
specified (<parameter>handler</parameter> is
<constant>NULL</constant>), a default handler which causes the
program to exit will be used. By default, the handler is enabled
permanently (<constant>SD_EVENT_ON</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_signal()</function> retrieves
the configured signal number of a signal event source created
previously with <function>sd_event_add_signal()</function>. It
takes the event source object as the <parameter>source</parameter>
parameter.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<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>
