<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_bus_open_user()</function> creates a new bus
object and opens a connection to the the user bus.
<function>sd_bus_open_system()</function> does the same, but
connects to the system bus.</para>
<para>If the <varname>$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS</varname> environment
variable is set
(c.f. <citerefentry><refentrytitle>environ</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>),
it will be used as the address of the user bus. This variable can
contain multiple addresses separated by <literal>;</literal>. If
this variable is not set, a suitable default for the default user
D-Bus instance will be used.</para>
<para>If the <varname>$DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS</varname> environment
variable is set, it will be used as the address of the system
bus. This variable uses the same syntax as
<varname>$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS</varname>/. If this variable is
not set, a suitable default for the default system D-Bus instance
will be used.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_open_system_remote()</function> connects to
the system bus on the specified <parameter>host</parameter> using
SSH. <parameter>host</parameter> consists of an optional user name
followed by the <literal>@</literal> symbol, and the hostname.
</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_open_system_remote()</function> connects to
the system bus in the specified <parameter>machine</parameter>,
where <parameter>machine</parameter> is the name of a container.
See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>machinectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for more information about "machines".</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_default_user()</function> returns a bus
object connected to the user bus. Each thread has its own object, but it
may be passed around. It is created on the first invocation of
<function>sd_bus_default_user()</function>, and subsequent
invocations returns a reference to the same object.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_default_system()</function> is similar to
<function>sd_bus_default_user()</function>, but connects to the
system bus.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On success, these calls return 0 or a positive
integer. On failure, these calls return a negative
errno-style error code.</para>

<title>Reference ownership</title>
<para>Functions <function>sd_bus_open_user()</function>,
<function>sd_bus_open_system()</function>,
<function>sd_bus_open_system_remote()</function>, and
<function>sd_bus_open_system_machine()</function> return a new
object and the caller owns the sole reference. When not needed
anymore, this reference should be destroyed with
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
</para>
<para>The functions <function>sd_bus_default_user()</function> and
<function>sd_bus_default_system()</function> do not create a new
reference.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Errors</title>
<para>Returned errors may indicate the following problems:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>-EINVAL</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Specified parameter is invalid
(<constant>NULL</constant> in case of output
parameters).</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>-ENOMEM</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Memory allocation failed.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<para>In addition, any further connection-related errors may be
by returned. See <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_send</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
