+ <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. By default the timer will
+ elapse once (SD_EVENT_ONESHOT), 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 SD_EVENT_ON mode is set.
+ </para>
