<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_bus_call_method()</function> is a convenience function for initializing a
bus message object and calling the corresponding D-Bus method. It combines the
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_new_method_call</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_append</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> and
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_call</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
functions into a single function call.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_call_method_async()</function> is a convenience function for initializing
a bus message object and calling the corresponding D-Bus method asynchronously. It combines the
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_new_method_call</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,

functions into a single function call.</para>

<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On success, these functions return a non-negative integer. On failure, they return a
negative errno-style error code.</para>

<example>
<title>Make a call to a D-Bus method that takes a single parameter</title>
<programlisting><xi:include href="print-unit-path-call-method.c" parse="text" /></programlisting>
<para>This defines a minimally useful program that will open a connection to the bus, call a method,
wait for the reply, and finally extract and print the answer. It does error handling and proper
memory management.</para>
