    <title>Description</title>

    <para><function>sd_bus_set_address()</function> configures a list of addresses of bus brokers to try to
    connect to from a subsequent
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_start</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> call.
    The argument is a <literal>;</literal>-separated list of addresses to try. Each item must be one of the
    following:
    </para>

    <itemizedlist>
      <listitem>
        <para>A unix socket address specified as
        <literal>unix:guid=<replaceable>guid</replaceable>,path=<replaceable>path</replaceable></literal> or
        <literal>unix:guid=<replaceable>guid</replaceable>,abstract=<replaceable>path</replaceable></literal>.
        Exactly one of the <varname>path=</varname> and <varname>abstract=</varname> keys must be present,
        while <varname>guid=</varname> is optional.</para>
      </listitem>

      <listitem>
        <para>A TCP socket address specified as
        <literal>tcp:[guid=<replaceable>guid</replaceable>,][host=<replaceable>host</replaceable>][,port=<replaceable>port</replaceable>][,family=<replaceable>family</replaceable>]</literal>.
        One or both of the <varname>host=</varname> and <varname>port=</varname> keys must be present, while
        the rest is optional. <replaceable>family</replaceable> may be either <option>ipv4</option> or
        <option>ipv6</option>.</para>
      </listitem>

      <listitem>
        <para>An executable to spawn specified as
        <literal>unixexec:guid=<replaceable>guid</replaceable>,path=<replaceable>path</replaceable>,argv1=<replaceable>argument</replaceable>,argv2=<replaceable>argument</replaceable>,...</literal>.
        The <varname>path=</varname> key must be present, while <varname>guid=</varname> is optional.</para>
      </listitem>

      <listitem>
        <para>A machine (container) to connect to specified as
        <literal>x-machine-unix:guid=<replaceable>guid</replaceable>,machine=<replaceable>machine</replaceable>,pid=<replaceable>pid</replaceable></literal>.
        Exactly one of the <varname>machine=</varname> and <varname>pid=</varname> keys must be present,
        while <varname>guid=</varname> is optional. <parameter>machine</parameter> is the name of a local
        container. See
        <citerefentry><refentrytitle>machinectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
        more information about the "machine" concept. <literal>machine=.host</literal> may be used to specify
        the host machine. A connection to the standard system bus socket inside of the specified machine will
        be created.</para>
      </listitem>
    </itemizedlist>

    <para>In all cases, parameter <parameter>guid</parameter> is an identifier of the remote peer, in the
    syntax accepted by
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_id128_from_string</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
    If specified, the identifier returned by the peer after the connection is established will be checked and
    the connection will be rejected in case of a mismatch.</para>

    <para>Note that the addresses passed to <function>sd_bus_set_address()</function> may not be verified
    immediately. If they are invalid, an error may be returned e.g. from a subsequent call to
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_start</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
    </para>

    <para><function>sd_bus_get_address()</function> returns any previously set addresses. In addition to
    being explicitly set by <function>sd_bus_set_address()</function>, the address will also be set
    automatically by
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_open</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> and
    similar calls, based on environment variables or built-in defaults.</para>

    <para><function>sd_bus_set_exec()</function> is a shorthand function for setting a
    <literal>unixexec</literal> address that spawns the given executable with the given arguments.
    If <parameter>argv</parameter> is <constant>NULL</constant>, the given executable is spawned
    without any extra arguments.</para>
  </refsect1>

  <refsect1>
    <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>

    <refsect2>
      <title>Errors</title>

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