<title>Description</title>

<para><function>sd_event_set_name()</function> can be used to set

an arbitrary name for the event source

<parameter>source</parameter>. This name will be used in error

messages generated by

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-event</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>

for this source. Specified <parameter>name</parameter> must point

to a <constant>NUL</constant>-terminated string or be

<constant>NULL</constant>. In the latter case, the name will be

unset. The string is copied internally, so the

<parameter>name</parameter> argument is not referenced after the

function returns.</para>

<para><function>sd_event_set_name()</function> can be used to

query the current name assigned to source

<parameter>source</parameter>. It returns a pointer to the current

name (possibly <constant>NULL</constant>) in

<parameter>name</parameter>.</para>

</refsect1>

<refsect1>

<title>Return Value</title>

<para>On success, <function>sd_event_set_name()</function> and

<function>sd_event_get_name()</function> return a

non-negative integer. On failure, they return a negative

errno-style error code.</para>

</refsect1>

<refsect1>

<title>Errors</title>

<para>Returned errors may indicate the following problems:</para>

<variablelist>

<varlistentry>

<term><constant>-EINVAL</constant></term>

<listitem><para><parameter>source</parameter> is not a valid

pointer to an <structname>sd_event_source</structname>

structure or the <parameter>name</parameter> argument for

<function>sd_event_get_name()</function> is

<constant>NULL</constant>.</para></listitem>

</varlistentry>

<varlistentry>

<term><constant>-ENOMEM</constant></term>

<listitem><para>Not enough memory to copy the

name.</para></listitem>

<title>Notes</title>

<para>Functions described here are available as a

shared library, which can be compiled and linked to with the

<constant>libsystemd</constant> <citerefentry

project='die-net'><refentrytitle>pkg-config</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
