    <title>Description</title>

    <para><function>sd_bus_set_fd()</function> sets the file descriptors used to communicate by a bus
    connection object. Both <parameter>input_fd</parameter> and <parameter>output_fd</parameter> must be
    valid file descriptors, referring to stream-based file objects (e.g. a stream socket, a pair of pipes or
    FIFOs, or even a TTY device). <parameter>input_fd</parameter> must be readable, and
    <parameter>output_fd</parameter> must be writable. The same file descriptor may be used (and typically is
    used) as both the input and the output file descriptor. This function must be called before the bus
    connection is started via
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_start</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>

    <para>The bus connection object will take possession of the passed file descriptors and will close them
    automatically when it is freed. Use
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_set_close_on_exit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    to turn off this behaviour.</para>

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

    <para>On success, <function>sd_bus_set_fd()</function> returns a non-negative integer. On
    failure, it returns a negative errno-style error code.</para>

      <title>Errors</title>

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