+
+    <para><function>sd_event_get_fd()</function> returns the file
+    descriptor that an event loop object returned by the
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_new</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    function uses to wait for events. This file descriptor may itself
+    be polled for
+    <constant>POLLIN</constant>/<constant>EPOLLIN</constant>
+    events. This makes it possible to embed an
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-event</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    event loop into another, possibly foreign, event loop.</para>

+    <citerefentry
+    project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>epoll_ctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
