  56     <title>Description</title>
  57
  58     <para><function>sd_event_source_set_prepare()</function> may be
  59     used to set a preparation callback for the event source object
  60     specified as <parameter>source</parameter>. The callback function
  61     specified as <parameter>callback</parameter> will be invoked
  62     immediately before the event loop goes to sleep to wait for
  63     incoming events. It is invoked with the user data pointer passed
  64     when the event source was created. The event source will be disabled
  65     if the callback function returns a negative error code. The callback
  66     function may be used to reconfigure the precise events to wait for.
  67     If the <parameter>callback</parameter> parameter is passed as NULL
  68     the callback function is reset. </para>
  69
  70     <para>Event source objects have no preparation callback associated
  71     when they are first created with calls such as
  72     <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_io</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
  73     <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_time</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. Preparation
  74     callback functions are supported for all event source types with
  75     the exception of those created with
  76     <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_exit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. Preparation
  77     callback functions are dispatched in the order indicated by the
  78     event source's priority field, as set with
  79     <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_set_priority</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. Preparation
  80     callbacks of disabled event sources (see
  81     <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_set_enabled</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>)
  82     are not invoked.</para>
