    <title>Description</title>

    <para><function>sd_bus_slot_ref()</function> increases the reference counter of
    <parameter>slot</parameter> by one.</para>

    <para><function>sd_bus_slot_unref()</function> decreases the reference counter of
    <parameter>slot</parameter> by one. Once the reference count has dropped to zero, slot object is
    destroyed and cannot be used anymore, so further calls to <function>sd_bus_slot_ref()</function>
    or <function>sd_bus_slot_unref()</function> are illegal.</para>

    <para><function>sd_bus_slot_unrefp()</function> is similar to
    <function>sd_bus_slot_unref()</function> but takes a pointer to a pointer to an
    <type>sd_bus_slot</type> object. This call is useful in conjunction with GCC's and LLVM's <ulink
    url="https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Variable-Attributes.html">Clean-up Variable
    Attribute</ulink>. See
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_new</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    for an example how to use the cleanup attribute.</para>

    <para><function>sd_bus_slot_ref()</function> and <function>sd_bus_slot_unref()</function>
    execute no operation if the passed in bus object address is
    <constant>NULL</constant>. <function>sd_bus_slot_unrefp()</function> will first dereference
    its argument, which must not be <constant>NULL</constant>, and will execute no operation if
    <emphasis>that</emphasis> is <constant>NULL</constant>.
    </para>

    <para><function>sd_bus_slot_get_bus()</function> returns the bus object that message
    <parameter>slot</parameter> is attached to.</para>
  </refsect1>

  <refsect1>
    <title>Return Value</title>

    <para><function>sd_bus_slot_ref()</function> always returns the argument.</para>

    <para><function>sd_bus_slot_unref()</function> always returns <constant>NULL</constant>.</para>

    <para><function>sd_bus_slot_get_bus()</function> always returns the bus object.</para>
