To connect it to a bus, make sure + to set an address with + <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_set_address</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> + or a related call, and then start the connection with + <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_start</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para> + + <para>In most cases, it is better to use + <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_default_user</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>, + <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_default_system</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> + or related calls instead of the more low-level <function>sd_bus_new()</function> and + <function>sd_bus_start()</function>.

Once the reference + count has dropped to zero, <parameter>bus</parameter> is destroyed + and cannot be used anymore, so further calls to + <function>sd_bus_ref()</function> or + <function>sd_bus_unref()</function> are illegal.</para> + + <para><function>sd_bus_unrefp()</function> is similar to + <function>sd_bus_unref()</function> but takes a pointer to a + pointer to an <type>sd_bus</type> object.
