+    <title>Description</title>
+
+    <para><function>sd_bus_slot_set_floating()</function> controls whether the specified bus slot object
+    <parameter>slot</parameter> shall be "floating" or not. A floating bus slot object's lifetime is bound to the
+    lifetime of the bus object it is associated with, meaning that it remains allocated as long as the bus object
+    itself and is freed automatically when the bus object is freed. Regular (i.e. non-floating) bus slot objects keep
+    the bus referenced, hence the bus object remains allocated at least as long as there remains at least one
+    referenced bus slot object around. The floating state hence controls the direction of referencing between the bus
+    object and the bus slot objects: if floating the bus pins the bus slot, and otherwise the bus slot pins the bus
+    objects. Use <function>sd_bus_slot_set_floating()</function> to switch between both modes: if the
+    <parameter>b</parameter> parameter is zero, the slot object is considered floating, otherwise it is made a regular
+    (non-floating) slot object.</para>
+
+    <para>Bus slot objects may be allocated with calls such as
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_add_match</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. If the
+    <parameter>slot</parameter> of these functions is non-<constant>NULL</constant> the slot object will be of the
+    regular kind (i.e. non-floating), otherwise it will be created floating. With
+    <function>sd_bus_slot_set_floating()</function> a bus slot object allocated as regular can be converted into a
+    floating object and back. This is particularly useful for creating a bus slot object, then changing parameters of
+    it, and then turning it into a floating object, whose lifecycle is managed by the bus object.</para>
+
+    <para><function>sd_bus_slot_get_floating()</function> returns the current floating state of the specified bus slot
+    object. It returns negative on error, zero if the bus slot object is a regular (non-floating) object and positive
+    otherwise.</para>

+    <title>Return Value</title>
+
+    <para>On success, these functions return 0 or a positive integer. On failure, they return a negative
+    errno-style error code.</para>
