<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_bus_message_sensitive()</function> marks an allocated bus message as containing
sensitive data. This ensures that the message data is carefully removed from memory (specifically,
overwritten with zero bytes) when released. It is recommended to mark all incoming and outgoing messages
like this that contain security credentials and similar data that should be dealt with carefully. Note
that it is not possible to unmark messages like this, it's a one way operation. If a message is already
marked sensitive and then marked sensitive a second time the message remains marked so and no further
operation is executed.</para>
<para>As a safety precaution all messages that are created as reply to messages that are marked sensitive
are also implicitly marked so.</para>
