Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 514094f933 man: drop mode line in file headers
This is already included in .dir-locals, so we don't need it
in the files themselves.

<title>Description</title>
<para>
<function>sd_bus_process()</function> drives the connection between the
message bus and the client. That is, it handles connecting,
authentication, and message processing. It should be called in a loop
until no further progress can be made or an error occurs.
</para>
<para>
Once no further progress can be made,
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_wait</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
should be called. Alternatively the user can wait for incoming data on
the file descriptor returned by
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_get_fd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
</para>
<para>
<function>sd_bus_process</function> processes at most one incoming
message per call. If the parameter <parameter>r</parameter> is not NULL
and the call processed a message, <code>*r</code> is set to this message.
The caller owns a reference to this message and should call
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
when the message is no longer needed. If <parameter>r</parameter> is not
NULL, progress was made, but no message was processed, <code>*r</code> is
set to NULL.
</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Return Value</title>
<para>
If progress was made, a positive integer is returned. If no progress was
made, 0 is returned. If an error occurs, a negative errno-style error code
is returned.
</para>
