+    <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>

+    code. </para>
