<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_bus_send()</function> queues the bus message object <parameter>m</parameter>
for transfer. If <parameter>bus</parameter> is <constant>NULL</constant>, the bus that
<parameter>m</parameter> is attached to is used. <parameter>bus</parameter> only needs to be set
when the message is sent to a different bus than the one it's attached to, for example when
forwarding messages. If the output parameter <parameter>cookie</parameter> is not
<constant>NULL</constant>, it is set to the message identifier. This value can later be used to
match incoming replies to their corresponding messages. If <parameter>cookie</parameter> is set
to <constant>NULL</constant> and the message is not sealed, <function>sd_bus_send()</function>
assumes the message <parameter>m</parameter> doesn't expect a reply and adds the necessary
headers to indicate this.</para>
<para>Note that in most scenarios, <function>sd_bus_send()</function> should not be called
directly. Instead, use higher level functions such as
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_call_method</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> and
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_reply_method_return</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
which call <function>sd_bus_send()</function> internally.</para>

<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On success, this function returns a non-negative integer. On failure, it returns a
negative errno-style error code.</para>
