This object is reference-counted, and will be destroyed + when all references are gone.

To connect it to a bus, make sure + to set an address with + <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_set_address</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> + or a related call, and then start the connection with + <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_start</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para> + + <para>In most cases, it is a better idea to invoke + <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_default_user</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>, + <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_default_system</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> + or related calls instead of the more low-level + <function>sd_bus_new()</function> and + <function>sd_bus_start()</function>.
