.SH "NAME"
sd_bus_slot_ref, sd_bus_slot_unref, sd_bus_slot_unrefp \- Create and destroy references to a bus slot object

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBsd_bus_slot_ref()\fR
increases the internal reference counter of
\fIslot\fR
by one\&.
.PP
\fBsd_bus_slot_unref()\fR
decreases the internal reference counter of
\fIslot\fR
by one\&. Once the reference count has dropped to zero, slot object is destroyed and cannot be used anymore, so further calls to
\fBsd_bus_slot_ref()\fR
or
\fBsd_bus_slot_unref()\fR
are illegal\&.
.PP
\fBsd_bus_slot_unrefp()\fR
is similar to
\fBsd_bus_slot_unref()\fR
but takes a pointer to a pointer to an
\fBsd_bus_slot\fR
object\&. This call is useful in conjunction with GCC\*(Aqs and LLVM\*(Aqs
\m[blue]\fBClean\-up Variable Attribute\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[1]\d\s+2\&. See
\fBsd_bus_new\fR(3)
for an example how to use the cleanup attribute\&.
.PP
\fBsd_bus_slot_ref()\fR
and
\fBsd_bus_slot_unref()\fR
execute no operation if the passed in bus object address is
\fBNULL\fR\&.
\fBsd_bus_slot_unrefp()\fR
will first dereference its argument, which must not be
\fBNULL\fR, and will execute no operation if
\fIthat\fR
is
\fBNULL\fR\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
\fBsd_bus_slot_ref()\fR
always returns the argument\&.
.PP
\fBsd_bus_slot_unref()\fR
always returns
\fBNULL\fR\&.
.SH "NOTES"
.PP
These APIs are implemented as a shared library, which can be compiled and linked to with the
\fBlibelogind\fR\ \&\fBpkg-config\fR(1)
file\&.
