    <title>Description</title>

    <para><function>sd_bus_set_connected_signal()</function> may be used to control whether a local, synthetic
    <function>Connected()</function> signal message shall be generated and enqueued for dispatching when the connection
    is fully established. If the <parameter>b</parameter> parameter is zero the message is not generated (the default),
    otherwise it is generated.</para>

    <para><function>sd_bus_get_connected_signal()</function> may be used to query whether this feature is enabled. It
    returns zero if not, positive otherwise.</para>

    <para>The <function>Connected()</function> signal message is generated from the
    <literal>org.freedesktop.DBus.Local</literal> service and interface, and
    <literal>/org/freedesktop/DBus/Local</literal> object path. Use
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_match_signal_async</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> to
    match on this signal.</para>

    <para>This message is particularly useful on slow transports where connections take a long time to be
    established. This is especially the case when
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_set_watch_bind</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> is
    used. The signal is generated when the
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_is_ready</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> returns
    positive for the first time.</para>

    <para>The <function>Connected()</function> signal corresponds with the <function>Disconnected()</function> signal
    that is synthesized locally when the connection is terminated. The latter is generated unconditionally however,
    unlike the former which needs to be enabled explicitly before it is generated, with
    <function>sd_bus_set_connected_signal()</function>.</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>

        <listitem><para>The bus connection has been created in a different process.</para></listitem>

    <title>Notes</title>

    <para><function>sd_bus_set_connected_signal()</function> and <function>sd_bus_get_connected_signal()</function> are available as
    a shared library, which can be compiled and linked to with the <constant>libsystemd</constant> <citerefentry
    project='die-net'><refentrytitle>pkg-config</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> file.</para>
