<title>Description</title>
<para>The <function>sd_bus_message_new_signal()</function> function creates a new bus message
object that encapsulates a D-Bus signal, and returns it in the <parameter>m</parameter> output
parameter. The signal will be sent to path <parameter>path</parameter>, on the interface
<parameter>interface</parameter>, member <parameter>member</parameter>. When this message is
sent, no reply is expected. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_new_method_call</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for a short description of the meaning of the <parameter>path</parameter>,
<parameter>interface</parameter>, and <parameter>member</parameter> parameters.

<title>Return Value</title>
<para>This function returns 0 if the message object was successfully created, and a negative
