<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_bus_slot_ref()</function> increases the reference counter of
<parameter>slot</parameter> by one.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_slot_unref()</function> decreases the reference counter of
<parameter>slot</parameter> by one. Once the reference count has dropped to zero, slot object is
destroyed and cannot be used anymore, so further calls to <function>sd_bus_slot_ref()</function>
or <function>sd_bus_slot_unref()</function> are illegal.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_slot_unrefp()</function> is similar to
<function>sd_bus_slot_unref()</function> but takes a pointer to a pointer to an
<type>sd_bus_slot</type> object. This call is useful in conjunction with GCC's and LLVM's <ulink
url="https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Variable-Attributes.html">Clean-up Variable
Attribute</ulink>. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_new</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for an example how to use the cleanup attribute.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_slot_ref()</function> and <function>sd_bus_slot_unref()</function>
execute no operation if the passed in bus object address is
<constant>NULL</constant>. <function>sd_bus_slot_unrefp()</function> will first dereference
its argument, which must not be <constant>NULL</constant>, and will execute no operation if
<emphasis>that</emphasis> is <constant>NULL</constant>.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Return Value</title>
<para><function>sd_bus_slot_ref()</function> always returns the argument.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_slot_unref()</function> always returns <constant>NULL</constant>.</para>
