<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_event_source_set_prepare()</function> may be
used to set a preparation callback for the event source object
specified as <parameter>source</parameter>. The callback function
specified as <parameter>callback</parameter> will be invoked
immediately before the event loop goes to sleep to wait for
incoming events. It is invoked with the user data pointer passed
when the event source was created. The event source will be disabled
if the callback function returns a negative error code. The callback
function may be used to reconfigure the precise events to wait for.
If the <parameter>callback</parameter> parameter is passed as <constant>NULL</constant>
the callback function is reset. </para>
<para>Event source objects have no preparation callback associated
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>. Preparation
callback functions are supported for all event source types with
the exception of those created with
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_exit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. Preparation
callback functions are dispatched in the order indicated by the
event source's priority field, as set with
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_set_priority</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. Preparation
callbacks of disabled event sources (see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_set_enabled</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>)
are not invoked.</para>
