    <title>Description</title>

    <para><function>sd_bus_set_close_on_exit()</function> may be used to enable or disable whether the bus connection
    is automatically flushed (as in
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_flush</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>) and closed (as in
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_close</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>) during the exit
    phase of the event loop. This logic only applies to bus connections that are attached to an
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-event</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> event loop, see
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_attach_event</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. By default
    this mechanism is enabled and makes sure that any pending messages that have not been written to the bus connection
    are written out when the event loop is shutting down. In some cases this behaviour is not desirable, for example
    when the bus connection shall remain usable until after the event loop exited. If <parameter>b</parameter> is
    true, the feature is enabled (which is the default), otherwise disabled.</para>

    <para><function>sd_bus_get_close_on_exit()</function> may be used to query the current setting of this feature. It
    returns zero when the feature is disabled, and positive if enabled.</para>
  </refsect1>

    <title>Return Value</title>

    <para>On success, <function>sd_bus_set_close_on_exit()</function> returns 0 or a positive integer. On failure, it returns a negative errno-style
    error code.</para>

    <para><function>sd_bus_get_close_on_exit()</function> returns 0 if the feature is currently turned off or a
    positive integer if it is on. On failure, it returns a negative errno-style error code.</para>

      <title>Errors</title>

      <para>Returned errors may indicate the following problems:</para>
