David Herrmann 15411c0cb1 tree-wide: there is no ENOTSUP on linux
Replace ENOTSUP by EOPNOTSUPP as this is what linux actually uses.

<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_event_add_time()</function> adds a new timer
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>clock</parameter> parameter takes a clock identifier,
one of <constant>CLOCK_REALTIME</constant>,
<constant>CLOCK_MONOTONIC</constant> and
<constant>CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM</constant>. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>timerfd_create</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details regarding the various types of clocks. The
<parameter>usec</parameter> parameter takes a time value in
microseconds, relative to the clock's epoch specifying when the
timer shall elapse the earliest. The
<parameter>accuracy</parameter> 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 <parameter>handler</parameter> shall
reference a function to call when the timer elapses. The handler
function will be passed the <parameter>userdata</parameter>
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
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>prctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>)
and additional scheduling latencies.</para>
<para>By default, the timer will elapse once
(<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_time()</function> retrieves
the configured time value of a timer event source created
previously with <function>sd_event_add_time()</function>. It takes
the event source object and a pointer to a variable to store the
time in microseconds in.</para>
<para><function>sd_event_source_set_time()</function> changes the
configured time value of a timer event source created previously
with <function>sd_event_add_time()</function>. It takes the event
source object and a time relative to the selected clock's
epoch, in microseconds.</para>
<para><function>sd_event_source_get_time_accuracy()</function>
retrieves the configured accuracy value of a timer event source
created previously with <function>sd_event_add_time()</function>. It
takes the event source object and a pointer to a variable to store
the accuracy in microseconds in.</para>
<para><function>sd_event_source_set_time_accuracy()</function>
changes the configured accuracy of a timer event source created
previously with <function>sd_event_add_time()</function>. It takes
the event source object and an accuracy, in microseconds.</para>
<para><function>sd_event_source_get_time_clock()</function>
retrieves the configured clock of a timer event source created
previously with <function>sd_event_add_time()</function>. It takes
the event source object and a pointer to a variable to store the
clock identifier in.</para>
