+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para>
+ <function>sd_bus_process()</function> drives the connection between the
+ message bus and the client. That is, it handles connecting,
+ authentication, and message processing. It should be called in a loop
+ until no further progress can be made or an error occurs.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Once no further progress can be made,
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_wait</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ should be called. Alternatively the user can wait for incoming data on
+ the file descriptor returned by
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_get_fd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <function>sd_bus_process</function> processes at most one incoming
+ message per call. If the parameter <parameter>r</parameter> is not NULL
+ and the call processed a message, <code>*r</code> is set to this message.
+ The caller owns a reference to this message and should call
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ when the message is no longer needed. If <parameter>r</parameter> is not
+ NULL, progress was made, but no message was processed, <code>*r</code> is
+ set to NULL.
+ </para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Return Value</title>
+
+ <para>
+ If progress was made, a positive integer is returned. If no progress was
+ made, 0 is returned. If an error occurs, a negative errno-style error code
+ is returned.
+ </para>
