+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_message_get_cookie()</function> returns the
+ transaction cookie of a message. The cookie uniquely identifies a
+ message within each bus peer, but is not globally unique. It is
+ assigned when a message is sent.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_message_get_reply_cookie()</function>
+ returns the transaction cookie of the message the specified
+ message is a response to. When a reply message is generated for a
+ method call message, its cookie is copied over into this field.
+ Note that while every message that is transferred is identified by
+ a cookie, only response messages carry a reply cookie
+ field.</para>
+
+ <para>Both functions take a message object as first parameter and
+ a place to store the 64-bit cookie in.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Return Value</title>
+
+ <para>On success, these calls return 0 or a positive integer. On
+ failure, these calls return a negative errno-style error
+ code.</para>
+
+ <para>On success, the cookie/reply cookie is returned in the
+ specified 64-bit unsigned integer variable.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Errors</title>
+
+ <para>Returned errors may indicate the following problems:</para>
+
+ <variablelist>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><constant>-EINVAL</constant></term>
+
+ <listitem><para>A specified parameter
+ is invalid.</para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><constant>-ENODATA</constant></term>
+
+ <listitem><para>No cookie has been assigned to this message.
+ This either indicates that the message has not been sent yet
+ and hence has no cookie assigned, or that the message is not a
+ method response message and hence carries a reply cookie
+ field.</para></listitem>
