.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBsd_bus_call_method()\fR
is a convenience function for initializing a bus message object and calling the corresponding D\-Bus method\&. It combines the
\fBsd_bus_message_new_method_call\fR(3),
\fBsd_bus_message_append\fR(3)
and
\fBsd_bus_call\fR(3)
functions into a single function call\&.
.PP
\fBsd_bus_call_method_async()\fR
is a convenience function for initializing a bus message object and calling the corresponding D\-Bus method asynchronously\&. It combines the
\fBsd_bus_message_new_method_call\fR(3),
\fBsd_bus_message_append\fR(3)
and
\fBsd_bus_call_async\fR(3)
functions into a single function call\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
On success, these functions return a non\-negative integer\&. On failure, they return a negative errno\-style error code\&.
.SS "Errors"
.PP
See the man pages of
\fBsd_bus_message_new_method_call\fR(3),
\fBsd_bus_message_append\fR(3),
\fBsd_bus_call\fR(3)
and
\fBsd_bus_call_async\fR(3)
for a list of possible errors\&.
.SH "NOTES"
.PP
These APIs are implemented as a shared library, which can be compiled and linked to with the
\fBlibsystemd\fR\ \&\fBpkg-config\fR(1)
file\&.
