+
+    <para><function>sd_bus_add_node_enumerator()</function> adds a D-Bus node enumerator for the
+    given path prefix. The given callback is called to enumerate all the available objects with
+    the given path prefix when required (e.g. when
+    <constant>org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable.Introspect</constant> or
+    <constant>org.freedesktop.DBus.ObjectManager.GetManagedObjects</constant> are called on a
+    D-Bus service managed by sd-bus).</para>
+
+    <para><parameter>callback</parameter> is called with the path and userdata pointer registered
+    with <function>sd_bus_add_node_enumerator()</function>. When called, it should store all the
+    child object paths of the given path prefix in <parameter>ret_nodes</parameter> and return the
+    number of child objects under the given prefix. If an error occurs, it can either return a
+    negative integer, set <parameter>ret_error</parameter> to a non-empty error or do both. Any
+    errors returned by the callback are encoded as D-Bus errors and sent back to the caller. Errors
+    in <parameter>ret_error</parameter> take priority over negative return values.</para>
+
+    <para>Note that a node enumerator callback will only ever be called for a single  path prefix
+    and hence, for normal operation, <parameter>prefix</parameter> can be ignored. Also, a node
+    enumerator is only used to enumerate the available child objects under a given prefix. To
+    install a handler for a set of dynamic child objects, use
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_add_fallback_vtable</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>When <function>sd_bus_add_node_enumerator()</function> succeeds, a slot is created
+    internally. If the output parameter <replaceable>slot</replaceable> is <constant>NULL</constant>,
+    a "floating" slot object is created, see
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_slot_set_floating</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+    Otherwise, a pointer to the slot object is returned. In that case, the reference to the slot
+    object should be dropped when the node enumerator is not needed anymore, see
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_slot_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
