98    <title>Description</title>
99
100    <para><function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> adds a peer to track to a bus peer tracking object. The first
101    argument should refer to a bus peer tracking object created with
102    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_track_new</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>, the second
103    name should refer to a D-Bus peer name to track, either in unique or well-known service format. If the name is not
104    tracked yet it will be added to the list of names to track. If it already is being tracked and non-recursive mode
105    is enabled, no operation is executed by this call. If recursive mode is enabled a per-name counter is increased by
106    one each time this call is invoked, and <function>sd_bus_track_remove_name()</function> has to be called as many
107    times as <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> was invoked before in order to stop tracking of the name. Use
108    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_track_set_recursive</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> to
109    switch from the default non-recursive mode to recursive mode, or back. Note that the specified name is tracked as
110    it is, well-known names are not resolved to unique names by this call. Note that multiple bus peer tracking objects
111    may track the same name.</para>
112
113    <para><function>sd_bus_track_remove_name()</function> undoes the effect of
114    <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> and removes a bus peer name from the list of peers to watch. Depending
115    on whether non-recursive or recursive mode is enabled for the bus peer tracking object this call will either remove
116    the name fully from the tracking object, or will simply decrement the per-name counter by one, removing the name
117    only when the counter reaches zero (see above). Note that a bus peer disconnecting from the bus will implicitly
118    remove its names fully from the bus peer tracking object, regardless of the current per-name counter.</para>
119
120    <para><function>sd_bus_track_add_sender()</function> and <function>sd_bus_track_remove_sender()</function> are
121    similar to <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> and <function>sd_bus_track_remove_name()</function> but
122    take a bus message as argument. The sender of this bus message is determined and added to/removed from the bus peer
123    tracking object. As messages always originate from unique names, and never from well-known names this means that
124    this call will effectively only add unique names to the bus peer tracking object.</para>
125
126    <para><function>sd_bus_track_count()</function> returns the number of names currently being tracked by the
127    specified bus peer tracking object. Note that this function always returns the actual number of names tracked, and
128    hence if <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> has been invoked multiple times for the same name it is only
129    counted as one, regardless if recursive mode is used or not.</para>
130
131    <para><function>sd_bus_track_count_name()</function> returns the current per-name counter for the specified
132    name. If non-recursive mode is used this returns either 1 or 0, depending on whether the specified name has been
133    added to the tracking object before, or not. If recursive mode has been enabled, values larger than 1 may be
134    returned too, in case <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> has been called multiple times for the same
135    name.</para>
136
137    <para><function>sd_bus_track_count_sender()</function> is similar to
138    <function>sd_bus_track_count_name()</function>, but takes a bus message object and returns the per-name counter
139    matching the sender of the message.</para>
140
141    <para><function>sd_bus_track_contains()</function> may be used to determine whether the specified name has been
142    added at least once to the specified bus peer tracking object.</para>
143
144    <para><function>sd_bus_track_first()</function> and <function>sd_bus_track_next()</function> may be used to
145    enumerate all names currently being tracked by the passed bus peer tracking
146    object. <function>sd_bus_track_first()</function> returns the first entry in the object, and resets an internally
147    maintained read index. Each subsequent invocation of <function>sd_bus_track_next()</function> returns the next name
148    contained in the bus object. If the end is reached <constant>NULL</constant> is returned. If no names have been
149    added to the object yet <function>sd_bus_track_first()</function> will return <constant>NULL</constant>
150    immediately. The order in which names are returned is undefined; in particular which name is considered the first
151    returned is not defined. If recursive mode is enabled and the same name has been added multiple times to the bus
152    peer tracking object it is only returned once by this enumeration. If new names are added to or existing names
153    removed from the bus peer tracking object while it is being enumerated the enumeration ends on the next invocation
154    of <function>sd_bus_track_next()</function> as <constant>NULL</constant> is returned.</para>

159
160    <para>On success, <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> and <function>sd_bus_track_add_sender()</function>
161    return 0 if the specified name has already been added to the bus peer tracking object before and positive if it
162    hasn't. On failure, they return a negative errno-style error code.</para>
163
164    <para><function>sd_bus_track_remove_name()</function> and <function>sd_bus_track_remove_sender()</function> return
165    positive if the specified name was previously tracked by the bus peer tracking object and has now been removed. In
166    non-recursive mode, 0 is returned if the specified name was not being tracked yet. In recursive mode
167    <constant>-EUNATCH</constant> is returned in this case. On failure, they return a negative errno-style error
168    code.</para>
169
170    <para><function>sd_bus_track_count()</function> returns the number of names currently being tracked, or 0 on
171    failure.</para>
172
173    <para><function>sd_bus_track_count_name()</function> and <function>sd_bus_track_count_sender()</function> return
174    the current per-name counter for the specified name or the sender of the specified message. Zero is returned for
175    names that are not being tracked yet, a positive value for names added at least once. Larger values than 1 are only
176    returned in recursive mode. On failure, a negative errno-style error code is returned.</para>
177
178    <para><function>sd_bus_track_contains()</function> returns the passed name if it exists in the bus peer tracking
179    object. On failure, and if the name has not been added yet <constant>NULL</constant> is returned.</para>
180
181    <para><function>sd_bus_track_first()</function> and <function>sd_bus_track_next()</function> return the first/next
182    name contained in the bus peer tracking object, and <constant>NULL</constant> if the end of the enumeration is
183    reached and on error.</para>
