+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_emit_signal()</function> is a convenience function for initializing a
+ bus message object and emitting the corresponding D-Bus signal. It combines the
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_new_signal</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_append</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> and
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_send</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ functions into a single function call. <function>sd_bus_emit_signalv()</function> is
+ equivalent to <function>sd_bus_message_append()</function>, except that it is called with a
+ <literal>va_list</literal> instead of a variable number of arguments.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_emit_signal_to()</function> and <function>sd_bus_emit_signal_tov()</function> are
+ identical to <function>sd_bus_emit_signal()</function> and <function>sd_bus_emit_signalv()</function>, except
+ that they can emit the signal to a single destination. Give <parameter>destination</parameter> as
+ <constant>NULL</constant> to broadcast the signal.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_emit_interfaces_added()</function> and
+ <function>sd_bus_emit_interfaces_removed()</function> are used to implement the
+ <function>InterfacesAdded</function> and <function>InterfacesRemoved</function> signals of the
+ <constant>org.freedesktop.DBus.ObjectManager</constant> interface. They take a path whose
+ interfaces have been modified as an argument and a variable list of interfaces that have been
+ added or removed, respectively. The final argument passed to
+ <function>sd_bus_emit_interfaces_added()</function> and
+ <function>sd_bus_emit_interfaces_removed()</function> <emphasis>must</emphasis> be
+ <constant>NULL</constant>. This allows both functions to safely determine the number of passed
+ interface arguments. <function>sd_bus_emit_interfaces_added_strv()</function> and
+ <function>sd_bus_emit_interfaces_removed_strv()</function> are identical to their respective
+ counterparts but both take the list of interfaces as a single argument instead of a variable
+ number of arguments.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_emit_properties_changed()</function> is used to implement the
+ <function>PropertiesChanged</function> signal of the
+ <constant>org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties</constant> interface. It takes an object path,
+ interface and a variable list of property names as its arguments. The final argument passed to
+ <function>sd_bus_emit_properties_changed()</function> <emphasis>must</emphasis> be
+ <constant>NULL</constant>. This allows it to safely determine the number of passed property
+ names. <function>sd_bus_emit_properties_changed_strv()</function> is identical to
+ <function>sd_bus_emit_properties_changed()</function> but takes the list of property names as a
+ single argument instead of a variable number of arguments.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_emit_object_added()</function> and
+ <function>sd_bus_emit_object_removed()</function> are convenience functions for emitting the
+ <function>InterfacesAdded</function> or <function>InterfacesRemoved</function> signals for all
+ interfaces registered on a specific object path, respectively. This includes any parent fallback
+ vtables if they are not overridden by a more applicable child vtable. It also includes all the
+ standard D-Bus interfaces implemented by sd-bus itself on any registered object.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that <function>sd_bus_emit_interfaces_added()</function>,
+ <function>sd_bus_emit_interfaces_removed()</function>,
+ <function>sd_bus_emit_object_added()</function> and
+ <function>sd_bus_emit_object_removed()</function> require an object manager to have been
+ registered on the given object path or one of its parent object paths using
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_add_object_manager</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
