<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_bus_call()</function> takes a complete bus message object and calls the
corresponding D-Bus method. The response is stored in <parameter>reply</parameter>.
<parameter>usec</parameter> indicates the timeout in microseconds. If
<parameter>ret_error</parameter> is not <constant>NULL</constant> and
<function>sd_bus_call()</function> returns an error, <parameter>ret_error</parameter> is
initialized to an instance of <structname>sd_bus_error</structname> describing the error.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_call_async()</function> is like <function>sd_bus_call()</function> but
works asynchronously. The <parameter>callback</parameter> shall reference a function to call
when the event source is triggered. The <parameter>userdata</parameter> pointer will be passed
to the callback function, and may be chosen freely by the caller. If <parameter>slot</parameter>
is not <constant>NULL</constant> and <function>sd_bus_call_async()</function> succeeds,
<parameter>slot</parameter> is set to a slot object which can be used to cancel the method call
at a later time using
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_slot_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
If <parameter>slot</parameter> is <constant>NULL</constant>, the lifetime of the method call is
bound to the lifetime of the bus object itself, and it cannot be cancelled independently. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_slot_set_floating</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details. The <parameter>callback</parameter> function is called when the response arrives
and receives the response, <parameter>userdata</parameter> and a
<structname>sd_bus_error</structname> object as its arguments. The
<structname>sd_bus_error</structname> object is unused here and should be ignored. If
<parameter>callback</parameter> returns a non-negative integer when called, a debug message is
logged along with details about the response.</para>
<para>To determine whether the method call succeeded, use
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_is_method_error</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
on the reply object returned by <function>sd_bus_call()</function> or passed to the callback of
<function>sd_bus_call_async()</function>.</para>
<para>If <parameter>usec</parameter> is zero, the default D-Bus method call timeout is used. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_get_method_call_timeout</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.

<para>On success, these functions return a non-negative integer. On failure, they return a
negative errno-style error code.</para>
