<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_event_add_time()</function> adds a new timer
event source to an event loop object. The event loop is specified
in <parameter>event</parameter>, the event source is returned in
the <parameter>source</parameter> parameter. The
<parameter>clock</parameter> parameter takes a clock identifier,
one of <constant>CLOCK_REALTIME</constant>,
<constant>CLOCK_MONOTONIC</constant> and
<constant>CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM</constant>. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>timerfd_create</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details regarding the various types of clocks. The
<parameter>usec</parameter> parameter takes a time value in
microseconds, relative to the clock's epoch specifying when the
timer shall elapse the earliest. The
<parameter>accuracy</parameter> parameter takes an additional
accuracy value in microseconds specifying a time the timer event
may be delayed. Specify 0 for selecting the default accuracy
(250ms). Specify 1 for most accurate timers. Consider specifying
60000000 or larger (1h) for long running events that may be
delayed substantially. Picking higher accuracy values allows the
system to coalesce timer events more aggressively, thus improving
power efficiency. The <parameter>handler</parameter> shall
reference a function to call when the timer elapses. The handler
function will be passed the <parameter>userdata</parameter>
pointer, which may be chosen freely by the caller. The handler is
also passed the configured time it was triggered, however it might
actually have been called at a slightly later time, subject to the
specified accuracy value, the kernel timer slack (see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>prctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>)
and additional scheduling latencies. By default the timer will
elapse once (SD_EVENT_ONESHOT), 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 SD_EVENT_ON mode is set.
</para>
<para><function>sd_event_source_get_time()</function> retrieves
the configured time value of a timer event source created
previously with <function>sd_event_add_time()</function>. It takes
the event source object and a pointer to a variable to store the
time in microseconds in.</para>
<para><function>sd_event_source_set_time()</function> changes the
configured time value of a timer event source created previously
with <function>sd_event_add_time()</function>. It takes the event
source object and a time relative to the selected clock's
epoch, in microseconds.</para>
<para><function>sd_event_source_get_time_accuracy()</function>
retrieves the configured accuracy value of a timer event source
created previously with <function>sd_event_add_time()</function>. It
takes the event source object and a pointer to a variable to store
the accuracy in microseconds in.</para>
<para><function>sd_event_source_set_time_accuracy()</function>
changes the configured accuracy of a timer event source created
previously with <function>sd_event_add_time()</function>. It takes
the event source object and an accuracy, in microseconds.</para>
<para><function>sd_event_source_get_time_clock()</function>
retrieves the configured clock of a timer event source created
previously with <function>sd_event_add_time()</function>. It takes
the event source object and a pointer to a variable to store the
clock identifier in.</para>

code. </para>
