<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_event_add_signal()</function> adds a new UNIX
process signal event source to an event loop. The event loop
object is specified in the <parameter>event</parameter> parameter,
and the event source object is returned in the
<parameter>source</parameter> parameter. The
<parameter>signal</parameter> parameter specifies the numeric
signal to be handled (see <citerefentry
project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>signal</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>).
The <parameter>handler</parameter> parameter must reference a
function to call when the signal is received 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>signalfd_siginfo</structname> structure containing
information about the received signal. See <citerefentry
project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>signalfd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for further information.</para>
<para>Only a single handler may be installed for a specific
signal. The signal will be unblocked by this call, and must be
blocked before this function is called in all threads (using
<citerefentry
project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>sigprocmask</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>). If
the handler is not specified (<parameter>handler</parameter> is
<constant>NULL</constant>), a default handler which causes the
program to exit cleanly will be used.</para>
<para>By default, the event source 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 the
<constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant> mode was requested before.
</para>
<para>To destroy an event source object use
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
but note that the event source is only removed from the event loop
when all references to the event source are dropped. To make sure
an event source does not fire anymore, even if it is still referenced,
disable the event source using
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_set_enabled</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
with <constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant>.</para>
<para>If the second parameter of
<function>sd_event_add_signal()</function> is
<constant>NULL</constant> no reference to the event source object
is returned. In this case the event source is considered
"floating", and will be destroyed implicitly when the event loop
itself is destroyed.</para>
<para><function>sd_event_source_get_signal()</function> returns
the configured signal number of an event source created previously
with <function>sd_event_add_signal()</function>. It takes the
event source object as the <parameter>source</parameter>
parameter.</para>

<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>
