+    <title>Description</title>
+
+    <para><function>sd_event_source_set_enabled()</function> may be
+    used to enable or disable the event source object specified as
+    <parameter>source</parameter>. The <parameter>enabled</parameter>
+    parameter takes one of <constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant> (to
+    enable), <constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant> (to disable) or
+    <constant>SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</constant>. If invoked with
+    <constant>SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</constant> the event source will be
+    enabled but automatically reset to
+    <constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant> after the event source was
+    dispatched once.</para>
+
+    <para>Event sources that are disabled will not result in event
+    loop wakeups and will not be dispatched, until they are enabled
+    again.</para>
+
+    <para><function>sd_event_source_get_enabled()</function> may be
+    used to query whether the event source object
+    <parameter>source</parameter> is currently enabled or not. It
+    returns the enablement state in
+    <parameter>enabled</parameter>.</para>
+
+    <para>Event source objects are enabled when they are first created
+    with calls such as
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_io</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_time</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. However,
+    depending on the event source type they are enabled continously
+    (<constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant>) or only for a single invocation
+    of the event source handler
+    (<constant>SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</constant>). For details see the
+    respective manual pages.</para>
+
+    <para>As event source objects stay active and may be dispatched as
+    long as there is at least one reference to them, in many cases it
+    is a good idea to combine a call to
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    with a prior call to
+    <function>sd_event_source_set_enabled()</function> with
+    <constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant>, to ensure the event source is
+    not dispatched again until all other remaining references are dropped.</para>

+    <title>Return Value</title>
+
+    <para>On success, <function>sd_event_source_set_enabled()</function> and
+    <function>sd_event_source_get_enabled()</function> return a
+    non-negative integer. On failure, they return a negative
+    errno-style error code.</para>
