+    <title>Description</title>
+
+    <para><function>sd_bus_default()</function> acquires a bus
+    connection object to the user bus when invoked in user context, or
+    to the system bus otherwise. The connection object is associated
+    with the calling thread. Each time the function is invoked from
+    the same thread, the same object is returned, but its reference
+    count is increased by one, as long as at least one reference is
+    kept. When the last reference to the connection is dropped (using
+    the
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    call), the connection is terminated. Note that the connection is
+    not automatically terminated when the associated thread ends. It
+    is important to drop the last reference to the bus connection
+    explicitly before the thread ends, as otherwise, the connection will
+    leak. Also, queued but unread or unwritten messages keep the
+    bus referenced, see below.</para>
+
+    <para><function>sd_bus_default_user()</function> returns a user
+    bus connection object associated with the calling thread.
+    <function>sd_bus_default_system()</function> is similar, but
+    connects to the system bus. Note that
+    <function>sd_bus_default()</function> is identical to these two
+    calls, depending on the execution context.</para>
+
+    <para><function>sd_bus_open()</function> creates a new,
+    independent bus connection to the user bus when invoked in user
+    context, or the system bus
+    otherwise. <function>sd_bus_open_user()</function> is similar, but
+    connects only to the user bus.
+    <function>sd_bus_open_system()</function> does the same, but
+    connects to the system bus. In contrast to
+    <function>sd_bus_default()</function>,
+    <function>sd_bus_default_user()</function>, and
+    <function>sd_bus_default_system()</function>, these calls return
+    new, independent connection objects that are not associated with
+    the invoking thread and are not shared between multiple
+    invocations. It is recommended to share connections per thread to
+    efficiently make use the available resources. Thus, it is
+    recommended to use <function>sd_bus_default()</function>,
+    <function>sd_bus_default_user()</function> and
+    <function>sd_bus_default_system()</function> to connect to the
+    user or system buses.</para>
+
+    <para><function>sd_bus_open_with_description()</function>,
+    <function>sd_bus_open_user_with_description()</function>, and
+    <function>sd_bus_open_system_with_description()</function> are similar to
+    <function>sd_bus_open()</function>, <function>sd_bus_open_user()</function>, and
+    <function>sd_bus_open_system()</function>, but allow a description string to be set, see
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_set_description</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+    <parameter>description</parameter> may be <constant>NULL</constant>, in which case this function
+    is equivalent to <function>sd_bus_open()</function>. This description string is used in log
+    messages about the bus object, and including a "name" for the bus makes them easier to
+    understand. Some messages are emitted during bus initialization, hence using this function is
+    prefereable to setting the description later with
+    <function>sd_bus_open_with_description()</function>. The argument is copied internally and will
+    not be referenced after the function returns.</para>
+
+    <para>If the <varname>$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS</varname> environment
+    variable is set
+    (cf. <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>environ</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>),
+    it will be used as the address of the user bus. This variable can
+    contain multiple addresses separated by <literal>;</literal>. If
+    this variable is not set, a suitable default for the default user
+    D-Bus instance will be used.</para>
+
+    <para>If the <varname>$DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS</varname>
+    environment variable is set, it will be used as the address of the
+    system bus. This variable uses the same syntax as
+    <varname>$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS</varname>. If this variable is
+    not set, a suitable default for the default system D-Bus instance
+    will be used.</para>
+
+    <para><function>sd_bus_open_system_remote()</function> connects to the system bus on
+    the specified host using
+    <citerefentry project='die-net'><refentrytitle>ssh</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+    <parameter>host</parameter> consists of an optional user name followed by the
+    <literal>@</literal> symbol, and the hostname, optionally followed by a
+    <literal>:</literal> and a port, optionally followed by a
+    <literal>/</literal> and a machine name. If the machine name is given, a connection
+    is created to the system bus in the specified container on the remote machine, and
+    otherwise a connection to the system bus on the specified host is created.</para>
+
+    <para>Note that entering a container is a privileged operation, and will likely only
+    work for the root user on the remote machine.</para>
+
+    <para><function>sd_bus_open_system_machine()</function> connects
+    to the system bus in the specified <parameter>machine</parameter>,
+    where <parameter>machine</parameter> is the name of a local
+    container.  See
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>machinectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    for more information about the "machine" concept. Note that
+    connections into local containers are only available to privileged
+    processes at this time.</para>
+
+    <para>These calls allocate a bus connection object and initiate
+    the connection to a well-known bus of some form. An alternative to
+    using these high-level calls is to create an unconnected bus
+    object with
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_new</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    and to connect it with
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_start</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.

+    <title>Reference ownership</title>
+    <para>The functions <function>sd_bus_open()</function>,
+    <function>sd_bus_open_user()</function>,
+    <function>sd_bus_open_system()</function>,
+    <function>sd_bus_open_system_remote()</function>, and
+    <function>sd_bus_open_system_machine()</function> return a new
+    connection object and the caller owns the sole reference. When not
+    needed anymore, this reference should be destroyed with
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>The functions <function>sd_bus_default()</function>,
+    <function>sd_bus_default_user()</function> and
+    <function>sd_bus_default_system()</function> do not necessarily
+    create a new object, but increase the connection reference of an
+    existing connection object by one. Use
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    to drop the reference.</para>
+
+    <para>Queued but unwritten/unread messages keep a reference to their bus connection object. For this reason, even
+    if an application dropped all references to a bus connection, it might not get destroyed right away. Until all
+    incoming queued messages are read, and until all outgoing unwritten messages are written, the bus object will stay
+    alive. <function>sd_bus_flush()</function> may be used to write all outgoing queued messages so they drop their
+    references. To flush the unread incoming messages, use <function>sd_bus_close()</function>, which will also close
+    the bus connection. When using the default bus logic, it is a good idea to first invoke
+    <function>sd_bus_flush()</function> followed by <function>sd_bus_close()</function> when a thread or process
+    terminates, and thus its bus connection object should be freed.</para>
+
+    <para>Normally, slot objects (as created by
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_add_match</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> and similar
+    calls) keep a reference to their bus connection object, too. Thus, as long as a bus slot object remains referenced
+    its bus object will remain allocated too. Optionally, bus slot objects may be placed in "floating" mode. When in
+    floating mode the life cycle of the bus slot object is bound to the bus object, i.e. when the bus object is freed
+    the bus slot object is automatically unreferenced too. The floating state of a slot object may be controlled
+    explicitly with
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_slot_set_floating</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+    though usually floating bus slot objects are created by passing <constant>NULL</constant> as the
+    <parameter>slot</parameter> parameter of <function>sd_bus_add_match()</function> and related calls, thus indicating
+    that the caller is not directly interested in referencing and managing the bus slot object.</para>
+
+    <para>The life cycle of the default bus connection should be the
+    responsibility of the code that creates/owns the thread the
+    default bus connection object is associated with. Library code
+    should neither call <function>sd_bus_flush()</function> nor
+    <function>sd_bus_close()</function> on default bus objects unless
+    it does so in its own private, self-allocated thread. Library code
+    should not use the default bus object in other threads unless it
+    is clear that the program using it will life cycle the bus
+    connection object and flush and close it before exiting from the
+    thread. In libraries where it is not clear that the calling
+    program will life cycle the bus connection object, it is hence
+    recommended to use <function>sd_bus_open_system()</function>
+    instead of <function>sd_bus_default_system()</function> and
+    related calls.</para>
