<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_bus_call()</function> takes a complete bus message object and calls the
corresponding D-Bus method. On success, the response is stored in <parameter>reply</parameter>.
<parameter>usec</parameter> indicates the timeout in microseconds. If
<parameter>ret_error</parameter> is not <constant>NULL</constant> and
<function>sd_bus_call()</function> fails (either because of an internal error or because it
received a D-Bus error reply), <parameter>ret_error</parameter> is initialized to an instance of
<structname>sd_bus_error</structname> describing the error.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_call_async()</function> is like <function>sd_bus_call()</function> but
works asynchronously. The <parameter>callback</parameter> indicates the function to call when
the response arrives. The <parameter>userdata</parameter> pointer will be passed to the callback
function, and may be chosen freely by the caller. If <parameter>slot</parameter> is not
<constant>NULL</constant> and <function>sd_bus_call_async()</function> succeeds,
<parameter>slot</parameter> is set to a slot object which can be used to cancel the method call
at a later time using
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_slot_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
If <parameter>slot</parameter> is <constant>NULL</constant>, the lifetime of the method call is
bound to the lifetime of the bus object itself, and it cannot be cancelled independently. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_slot_set_floating</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details. <parameter>callback</parameter> is called when a reply arrives with the reply,
<parameter>userdata</parameter> and an <structname>sd_bus_error</structname> output
parameter as its arguments. Unlike <function>sd_bus_call()</function>, the
<structname>sd_bus_error</structname> output parameter passed to the callback will be empty. To
determine whether the method call succeeded, use
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_is_method_error</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
on the reply message passed to the callback instead. If the callback returns zero and the
<structname>sd_bus_error</structname> output parameter is still empty when the callback
inishes, other handlers registered with functions such as
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_add_filter</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> or
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_add_match</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
are given a chance to process the message. If the callback returns a non-zero value or the
<structname>sd_bus_error</structname> output parameter is not empty when the callback finishes,
no further processing of the message is done. Generally, you want to return zero from the
callback to give other registered handlers a chance to process the reply as well.</para>
<para>If <parameter>usec</parameter> is zero, the default D-Bus method call timeout is used. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_get_method_call_timeout</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.

<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>
