.SH "NAME"
sd_bus_close, sd_bus_flush \- Close and flush a bus connection
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
.ft B
.nf
#include <systemd/sd\-bus\&.h>
.fi
.ft
.HP \w'void\ sd_bus_close('u
.BI "void sd_bus_close(sd_bus\ *" "bus" ");"
.HP \w'int\ sd_bus_flush('u
.BI "int sd_bus_flush(sd_bus\ *" "bus" ");"
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBsd_bus_close()\fR
disconnects the specified bus connection\&. When this call is invoked and the specified bus object refers to an active connection it is immediately terminated\&. No further messages may be sent or receieved on it\&. Any messages queued in the bus object (both incoming and outgoing) are released\&. If invoked on
\fBNULL\fR
bus object or when the bus connection is already closed this function executes no operation\&. This call does not free or unreference the bus object itself\&. Use
\fBsd_bus_unref\fR(3)
for that\&.
.PP
\fBsd_bus_flush()\fR
synchronously writes out all outgoing queued message on a bus connection if there are any\&. This function call may block if the peer is not processing bus messages quickly\&.
.PP
Before a program exits it is usually a good idea to flush any pending messages with
\fBsd_bus_flush()\fR
and then close connections with
\fBsd_bus_close()\fR
to ensure that no unwritten messages are lost, no further messages may be queued and all incoming but unprocessed messages are released\&. After both operations have been done, it is a good idea to also drop any remaining references to the bus object so that it may be freed\&. Since these three operations are frequently done together a helper call
\fBsd_bus_flush_close_unref\fR(3)
is provided that combines them into one\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
On success,
\fBsd_bus_flush()\fR
returns 0 or a positive integer\&. On failure, it returns a negative errno\-style error code\&.
.SH "ERRORS"
.PP
Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
.PP
\fB\-ECHILD\fR
.RS 4
The bus connection has been created in a different process\&.
.RE
.SH "NOTES"
.PP
These APIs are implemented as a shared library, which can be compiled and linked to with the
\fBlibsystemd\fR\ \&\fBpkg-config\fR(1)
file\&.
