Lennart Poettering 818bf54632 tree-wide: drop 'This file is part of systemd' blurb
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html

The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.

hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.

<title>Description</title>
<para>
<function>sd_bus_get_n_queued_read()</function> may be used to query the number of bus messages in the read queue
of a bus connection object. The read queue contains all messages read from the transport medium (e.g. network
socket) but not yet processed locally. The function expects two arguments: the bus object to query, and a pointer
to a 64bit counter variable to write the current queue size to. Use <function>sd_bus_process()</function> in
order to process queued messages, i.e. to reduce the size of the read queue (as well as, in fact, the write
queue, see below).
</para>
<para>
Similarly, <function>sd_bus_get_n_queued_write()</function> may be used to query the number of currently pending
bus messages in the write queue of a bus connection object. The write queue contains all messages enqueued into
the connection with a call such as <function>sd_bus_send()</function> but not yet written to the transport
medium. The expected arguments are similar to <function>sd_bus_get_n_queued_read()</function>. Here too, use
<function>sd_bus_process()</function> to reduce the size of the write queue. Alternatively, use
<function>sd_bus_flush()</function> to synchronously write out any pending bus messages until the write queue is
empty.
