+ * DESCRIPTION
+ *
+ * Schedule `stream' for stream events. Set the `notifier' callback to
+ * be called when some event takes place on the stream. The event will
+ * be delievered to the `notifier' callback with the `context'. It is
+ * called for example when data is available for reading or writing, or
+ * if an error occurs. This can be called at any time for valid stream.
+ * This call will also set the `stream' into non-blocking mode.
+ *
+ * If `notifier' is set to NULL no callback will be called for the stream,
+ * and the stream is not scheduled anymore.
+ *
+ * This function returns FALSE if the `schedule' was provided and the
+ * stream could not be scheduled. The actual API for `stream' may provide
+ * access to the actual error information. Returns TRUE on success.
