+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_new()</function> creates a new bus peer tracking object. The object is allocated for
+ the specified bus, and returned in the <parameter>*ret</parameter> parameter. After use, the object should be freed
+ again by dropping the acquired reference with <function>sd_bus_track_unref()</function> (see below). A bus peer
+ tracking object may be used to keep track of peers on a specific IPC bus, for cases where peers are making use of
+ one or more local objects, in order to control the lifecycle of the local objects and ensure they stay around as
+ long as the peers needing them are around, and unreferenced (and possibly destroyed) as soon as all relevant peers
+ have vanished. Each bus peer tracking object may be used to track zero, one or more peers add a time. References to
+ specific bus peers are added via
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_track_add_name</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> or
+ <function>sd_bus_track_add_sender()</function>. They may be dropped again via
+ <function>sd_bus_track_remove_name()</function> and
+ <function>sd_bus_track_remove_sender()</function>. Alternatively, references on peers are removed automatically
+ when they disconnect from the bus. If non-NULL the <parameter>handler</parameter> may specify a function that is
+ invoked whenever the last reference is dropped, regardless whether the reference is dropped explicitly via
+ <function>sd_bus_track_remove_name()</function> or implicitly because the peer disconnected from the bus. The final
+ argument <parameter>userdata</parameter> may be used to attach a generic user data pointer to the object. This
+ pointer is passed to the handler callback when it is invoked.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_ref()</function> creates a new reference to a bus peer tracking object. This object
+ will not be destroyed until <function>sd_bus_track_unref()</function> has been called as many times plus once
+ more. Once the reference count has dropped to zero, the specified object cannot be used anymore, further calls to
+ <function>sd_bus_track_ref()</function> or <function>sd_bus_track_unref()</function> on the same object are
+ illegal.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_unref()</function> destroys a reference to a bus peer tracking object.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_unrefp()</function> is similar to <function>sd_bus_track_unref()</function> but takes
+ a pointer to a pointer to an <type>sd_bus_track</type> object. This call is useful in conjunction with GCC's and
+ LLVM's <ulink url="https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Variable-Attributes.html">Clean-up Variable
+ Attribute</ulink>. Note that this function is defined as inline function.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_ref()</function>, <function>sd_bus_track_unref()</function> and
+ <function>sd_bus_track_unrefp()</function> execute no operation if the passed in bus peer tracking object is
+ <constant>NULL</constant>.</para>
+
+ <para>Bus peer tracking objects may exist in two modes: by default they operate in non-recursive mode, but may
+ optionally be switched into recursive mode. If operating in the default non-recursive mode a peer is either tracked
+ or not tracked. In this mode invoking <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> multiple times in a row for the
+ same peer is fully equivalent to calling it just once, as the call adds the peer to the set of tracked peers if
+ necessary, and executes no operation if the peer is already being tracked. A single invocation of
+ <function>sd_bus_track_remove_name()</function> removes the reference on the peer again, regardless how many times
+ <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> was called before. If operating in recursive mode, the number of times
+ <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> is invoked for the same peer name is counted and
+ <function>sd_bus_track_remove_name()</function> must be called the same number of times before the peer is not
+ tracked anymore, with the exception when the tracked peer vanishes from the bus, in which case the count is
+ irrelevant and the tracking of the specific peer is immediately
+ removed. <function>sd_bus_track_get_recursive()</function> may be used to determine whether the bus peer tracking
+ object is operating in recursive mode. <function>sd_bus_track_set_recursive()</function> may be used to enable or
+ disable recursive mode. By default a bus peer tracking object operates in non-recursive mode, and
+ <function>sd_bus_track_get_recursive()</function> for a newly allocated object hence returns a value equal to
+ zero. Use <function>sd_bus_track_set_recursive()</function> to enable recursive mode, right after allocation. It
+ takes a boolean argument to enable or disable recursive mode. Note that tracking objects for which
+ <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> was already invoked at least once (and which hence track already one
+ or more peers) may not be switched from recursive to non-recursive mode anymore.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_get_bus()</function> returns the bus object the bus peer tracking object belongs
+ to. It returns the bus object initially passed to <function>sd_bus_track_new()</function> when the object was
+ allocated.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_get_userdata()</function> returns the generic user data pointer set on the bus peer
+ tracking object at the time of creation using <function>sd_bus_track_new()</function> or at a later time, using
+ <function>sd_bus_track_set_userdata()</function>.</para>

+ <para>On success, <function>sd_bus_track_new()</function> and <function>sd_bus_track_set_recursive()</function>
+ return 0 or a positive integer. On failure, they return a negative errno-style error code.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_ref()</function> always returns the argument.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_unref()</function> always returns <constant>NULL</constant>.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_get_recursive()</function> returns 0 if non-recursive mode is selected (default), and
+ greater than 0 if recursive mode is selected. On failure a negative errno-style error code is returned.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_get_bus()</function> returns the bus object associated to the bus peer tracking
+ object.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_get_userdata()</function> returns the generic user data pointer associated with the
+ bus peer tracking object. <function>sd_bus_track_set_userdata()</function> returns the previous user data pointer
