+    <para><function>sd_device_unref()</function> decreases the internal reference counter of
+    <parameter>device</parameter> by one. Once the reference count has dropped to zero,
+    <parameter>device</parameter> is destroyed and cannot be used anymore, so further calls to
+    <function>sd_device_ref()</function> or <function>sd_device_unref()</function> are illegal.</para>
+
+    <para><function>sd_device_unrefp()</function> is similar to <function>sd_device_unref()</function> but
+    takes a pointer to a pointer to an <type>sd_device</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>. Note that this function is defined as an inline function. Use a declaration
+    like the following, in order to allocate a device object that is freed automatically as the code block is
+    left:</para>
+
+    <programlisting>{
+  __attribute__((cleanup(sd_device_unrefp))) sd_device *device = NULL;
+  int r;

+  if (r &lt; 0) {
+    errno = -r;
+    fprintf(stderr, "Failed to allocate device: %m\n");
+  }
+  …
+}</programlisting>
+
+    <para><function>sd_device_ref()</function> and <function>sd_device_unref()</function> execute no
+    operation if the argument is <constant>NULL</constant>. <function>sd_device_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>
