+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_close()</function> disconnects the specified bus connection. When this
+ call is invoked and the specified bus object refers to an active connection it is immediately
+ terminated. No further messages may be sent or received on it. Any messages queued in the bus
+ object (both incoming and outgoing) are released. If invoked on <constant>NULL</constant> bus
+ object or when the bus connection is already closed this function executes no operation. This
+ call does not free or unreference the bus object itself. Use
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for that.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_flush()</function> synchronously writes out all outgoing queued message
+ on a bus connection if there are any. This function call may block if the peer is not processing
+ bus messages quickly.</para>
+
+ <para>Before a program exits it is usually a good idea to flush any pending messages with
+ <function>sd_bus_flush()</function> and then close connections with
+ <function>sd_bus_close()</function> to ensure that no unwritten messages are lost, no further
+ messages may be queued and all incoming but unprocessed messages are released. After both
+ operations have been done, it is a good idea to also drop any remaining references to the bus
+ object so that it may be freed. Since these three operations are frequently done together a
+ helper call
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_flush_close_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ is provided that combines them into one.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_default_flush_close()</function> is similar to
+ <function>sd_bus_flush_close_unref()</function>, but does not take a bus pointer argument and
+ instead iterates over any of the "default" buses opened by
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_default</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_default_user</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_default_system</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ and similar calls. <function>sd_bus_default_flush_close()</function> is particularly useful to
+ clean up any buses opened using those calls before the program exits.</para>

+ <title>Return Value</title>
