<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_hwdb_new()</function> creates a new hwdb object to access the binary hwdb
database. Upon initialization, the file containing the binary representation of the hardware database is
located and opened. The new object is returned in <parameter>hwdb</parameter>.</para>
<para>The <parameter>hwdb</parameter> object is reference counted. <function>sd_hwdb_ref()</function> and
<function>sd_hwdb_unref()</function> may be used to get a new reference or destroy an existing reference
to an object. The caller must dispose of the reference acquired with <function>sd_hwdb_new()</function>
by calling <function>sd_hwdb_unref()</function> when done with the object.</para>

<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On success, <function>sd_hwdb_new()</function> returns a non-negative integer. On
failure, it returns a negative errno-style error code.</para>
<para><function>sd_hwdb_ref()</function> always returns the argument.
</para>
<para><function>sd_hwdb_unref()</function> always returns <constant>NULL</constant>.
