Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 11a1589223 tree-wide: drop license boilerplate
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.

I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.

<title>Description</title>
<para>
<function>sd_bus_process()</function> drives the connection between the
message bus and the client. That is, it handles connecting,
authentication, and message processing. It should be called in a loop
until no further progress can be made or an error occurs.
</para>
<para>
Once no further progress can be made,
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_wait</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
should be called. Alternatively the user can wait for incoming data on
the file descriptor returned by
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_get_fd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
</para>
<para>
<function>sd_bus_process</function> processes at most one incoming
message per call. If the parameter <parameter>r</parameter> is not NULL
and the call processed a message, <code>*r</code> is set to this message.
The caller owns a reference to this message and should call
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
when the message is no longer needed. If <parameter>r</parameter> is not
NULL, progress was made, but no message was processed, <code>*r</code> is
set to NULL.
</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Return Value</title>
<para>
If progress was made, a positive integer is returned. If no progress was
made, 0 is returned. If an error occurs, a negative errno-style error code
is returned.
</para>
