    <title>Description</title>

    <para><function>sd_event_source_set_userdata()</function> may be
    used to set an arbitrary user data pointer for the event source
    object specified as <parameter>source</parameter>. The user data
    pointer is usually specified when creating an event source object
    with calls such as
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_io</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    or
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_time</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
    and may be updated with this call. The user data pointer is also
    passed to all handler callback functions associated with the event
    source. The <parameter>userdata</parameter> parameter specifies
    the new user data pointer to set, the function returns the
    previous user data pointer. Note that <constant>NULL</constant> is
    a valid user data pointer.</para>

    <para><function>sd_event_source_get_userdata()</function> may be
    used to query the current user data pointer assigned to the event
    source object <parameter>source</parameter>.</para>

    <title>Return Value</title>

    <para>On success,
    <function>sd_event_source_set_userdata()</function> and
    <function>sd_event_source_get_userdata()</function> return the
    previously set user data pointer. On failure, they return
    <constant>NULL</constant>.</para>
