<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_bus_new()</function> creates a new bus
object. This object is reference counted, and will be destroyed
when all references are gone. Initially, the caller of this
function owns the sole reference.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_ref()</function> creates a new reference to
<parameter>bus</parameter>. This bus object will not be destroyed
until <function>sd_bus_unref()</function> has been called as many
times plus once more. Once the reference count has dropped to
zero, <parameter>bus</parameter> cannot be used anymore, so
further calls to <function>sd_bus_ref()</function> or
<function>sd_bus_unref()</function> are illegal.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_unref()</function> destroys a reference to
<parameter>bus</parameter>.</para>

<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On success, <function>sd_bus_new()</function> returns 0 or a
positive integer. On failure, it returns a negative errno-style
error code.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_ref</function> always returns the argument.
</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_unref</function> always returns
<constant>NULL</constant>.</para>
