+    <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>
