<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_event_source_set_exit_on_failure()</function> may be used to set/unset the
exit-on-failure flag of the event source object specified as <parameter>source</parameter>. The flag
defaults to off. If on and the callback function set for the event source returns a failure code (i.e. a
negative value) the event loop is exited too, using the callback return code as the exit code for
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_exit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. If
off, the event source is disabled but the event loop continues to run. Setting this flag is useful for
"dominant" event sources that define the purpose and reason for the event loop, and whose failure hence
should propagate to the event loop itself — as opposed to "auxiliary" event sources whose failures should
remain local and affect the event source, but not propagate further.</para>
<para><function>sd_event_source_get_exit_on_failure()</function> may be used to query the flag currently
set for the event source object <parameter>source</parameter>.</para>

<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On success, <function>sd_event_source_set_exit_on_failure()</function> returns a non-negative
integer. <function>sd_event_source_get_exit_on_failure()</function> returns 0 if the flag is off, &gt; 0
if the flag is on. On failure, both return a negative errno-style error code.</para>

<listitem><para>The event source refers to an exit event source (as created with
