+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_message_get_monotonic_usec()</function>
+ returns the monotonic timestamp of the time the message was sent.
+ This value is in microseconds since the
+ <constant>CLOCK_MONOTONIC</constant> epoch, see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>clock_gettime</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for details.</para>
+
+ <para>Similarly,
+ <function>sd_bus_message_get_realtime_usec()</function> returns
+ the realtime (wallclock) timestamp of the time the message was
+ sent. This value is in microseconds since Jan 1st, 1970, i.e. in
+ the <constant>CLOCK_REALTIME</constant> clock.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_message_get_seqnum()</function> returns the
+ kernel-assigned sequence number of the message. The kernel assigns
+ a global, monotonically increasing sequence number to all messages
+ transmitted on the local system, at the time the message was sent.
+ This sequence number is useful for determining message send order,
+ even across different buses of the local system. The sequence
+ number combined with the boot ID of the system (as returned by
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_id128_get_boot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>)
+ is a suitable globally unique identifier for bus messages.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that the sending order and receiving order of messages
+ might differ, in particular for broadcast messages. This means
+ that the sequence number and the timestamps of messages a client
+ reads are not necessarily monotonically increasing.</para>
+
+ <para>These timestamps and the sequence number are attached to
+ each message by the kernel and cannot be manipulated by the
+ sender.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that these timestamps are only available on some bus
+ transports, and only after support for them has been negotiated
+ with the
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_negotiate_timestamp</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ call.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Return Value</title>
+
+ <para>On success, these calls return 0 or a positive integer. On
+ failure, these calls return a negative errno-style error
+ code.</para>
+
+ <para>On success, the timestamp or sequence number is returned in
+ the specified 64-bit unsigned integer variable.</para>
+
+ <refsect2>
+ <title>Errors</title>
+
+ <para>Returned errors may indicate the following problems:</para>
+
+ <variablelist>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><constant>-EINVAL</constant></term>
+
+ <listitem><para>A specified parameter is invalid.</para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><constant>-ENODATA</constant></term>
+
+ <listitem><para>No timestamp or sequence number information is attached to the passed message. This
+ error is returned if the underlying transport does not support timestamping or assigning of
+ sequence numbers, or if this feature has not been negotiated with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_negotiate_timestamp</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para></listitem>
