    <title>Description</title>

    <para><function>sd_bus_interface_name_is_valid()</function> checks if a given string
    <parameter>p</parameter> is a syntactically valid bus interface name. Similarly,
    <function>sd_bus_service_name_is_valid()</function> checks if the argument is a valid bus service name,
    <function>sd_bus_member_name_is_valid()</function> checks if the argument is a valid bus interface member
    name, and <function>sd_bus_object_path_is_valid()</function> checks if the argument is a valid bus object
    path. Those functions generally check that only allowed characters are used and that the length of the
    string is within limits.</para>
  </refsect1>

  <refsect1>
    <title>Return Value</title>

    <para>Those functions return 1 if the argument is a valid interface / service / member name or object
    path, and 0 if it is not. If the argument is <constant>NULL</constant>, an error is returned.</para>

    <refsect2>
      <title>Errors</title>

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