    <title>Description</title>

    <para><function>sd_bus_set_method_call_timeout()</function> sets the default D-Bus method call
    timeout of <parameter>bus</parameter> to <parameter>usec</parameter> microseconds.</para>

    <para><function>sd_bus_get_method_call_timeout()</function> queries the default D-Bus method
    call timeout of <parameter>bus</parameter>. If no method call timeout was set using
    <function>sd_bus_set_method_call_timeout()</function>, the timeout is read from the
    <varname>$SYSTEMD_BUS_TIMEOUT</varname> environment variable. If this environment variable is
    unset or does not contain a valid timeout, the implementation falls back to a predefined method
    call timeout of 25 seconds. Note that <varname>$SYSTEMD_BUS_TIMEOUT</varname> is read once and
    cached so callers should not rely on being able to change the default method call timeout at
    runtime by changing the value of <varname>$SYSTEMD_BUS_TIMEOUT</varname>. Instead, call
    <function>sd_bus_set_method_call_timeout()</function> to change the default method call timeout.

    <title>Return Value</title>

    <para>On success, these functions return a non-negative integer. On failure, they return a
    negative errno-style error code.</para>
