    <title>Description</title>

    <para><function>sd_bus_message_set_expect_reply()</function> sets or clears the
    <constant>NO_REPLY_EXPECTED</constant> flag on the message <parameter>m</parameter>. This flag
    matters only for method call messages and is used to specify that no method return or error
    reply is expected. It is ignored for other types. Thus, for a method call message, calling
    <programlisting>sd_bus_message_set_expect_reply(…, 0)</programlisting> sets the flag and
    suppresses the reply.</para>

    <para><function>sd_bus_message_get_expect_reply()</function> checks if the
    <constant>NO_REPLY_EXPECTED</constant> flag is set on the message <parameter>m</parameter>. It
    will return positive if it is not set, and zero if it is.</para>

    <para><function>sd_bus_message_set_auto_start()</function> sets or clears the
    <constant>NO_AUTO_START</constant> flag on the message <parameter>m</parameter>. When the flag
    is set the bus must not launch an owner for the destination name in response to this message.
    Calling
    <programlisting>sd_bus_message_set_auto_start(…, 0)</programlisting> sets the flag.
    </para>

    <para><function>sd_bus_message_get_auto_start()</function> checks if the
    <constant>NO_AUTO_START</constant> flag is set on the message <parameter>m</parameter>. It
    will return positive if it is not set, and zero if it is.</para>

    <title>Return Value</title>

    <para>On success, these functions return 0 or a positive integer. On failure, they return a
    negative errno-style error code.</para>

      <title>Errors</title>

      <para>Returned errors may indicate the following problems:</para>
