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_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>

<title>Errors</title>
<para>Returned errors may indicate the following problems:</para>

<term><constant>-EINVAL</constant></term>
<listitem><para>An invalid argument has been passed. This includes
specyfing an empty mask in <parameter>options</parameter> or a mask
which constains values different than a combination of
<constant>WEXITED</constant>, <constant>WSTOPPED</constant>, and
<constant>WCONTINUED</constant>.
