    <title>Description</title>

    <para><function>sd_bus_set_description()</function> sets the description string
    that is used in logging to the specified string. The string is copied internally
    and freed when the bus object is deallocated. The
    <parameter>description</parameter> argument may be <constant>NULL</constant>, in
    which case the description is unset. This function must be called before the bus
    has been started.</para>

    <para><function>sd_bus_get_description()</function> returns a description string
    in <parameter>description</parameter>. This string may have been previously set
    with <function>sd_bus_set_description()</function> or
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_open_with_description</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    or similar. If not set this way, a default string like <literal>system</literal>
    or <literal>user</literal> will be returned for the system or user buses,
    and <constant>NULL</constant> otherwise.</para>

    <para><function>sd_bus_set_anonymous()</function> enables or disables "anonymous
    authentication", i.e. lack of authentication, of the bus peer. This function must
    be called before the bus has been started. See the <ulink
    url="view-source:https://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html#auth-mechanisms">Authentication
    Mechanisms</ulink> section of the D-Bus specification for details.</para>

    <para><function>sd_bus_set_trusted()</function> sets the "trusted" state on the
    <parameter>bus</parameter> object. If true, all connections on the bus are
    trusted and access to all privileged and unprivileged methods is granted.  This
    function must be called before the bus has been started.</para>

    <para><function>sd_bus_set_allow_interactive_authorization()</function>
    enables or disables interactive authorization for method calls. If true,
    messages are marked with the
    <constant>ALLOW_INTERACTIVE_AUTHORIZATION</constant> flag specified by the
    <ulink
    url="view-source:https://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html">D-Bus</ulink>
    specification, informing the receiving side that the caller is prepared to
    wait for interactive authorization, which might take a considerable time to
    complete. If this flag is set, the user may be queried for passwords or
    confirmation via <ulink
    url="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/polkit">polkit</ulink> or a
    similar framework.</para>

    <para><function>sd_bus_get_allow_interactive_authorization()</function> returns
    true if interactive authorization is allowed and false if not.</para>
  </refsect1>

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

    <para>On success, these functions return 0 or a positive integer. On failure,
    they return a negative errno-style error code.</para>
  </refsect1>

  <refsect1>
    <title>Errors</title>

    <para>Returned errors may indicate the following problems:</para>
