Lennart Poettering 818bf54632 tree-wide: drop 'This file is part of systemd' blurb
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html

The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.

hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.

<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 continuously
(<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>
