+ * bus_path_encode_unique() - encode unique object path
+ * @b: bus connection or NULL
+ * @prefix: object path prefix
+ * @sender_id: unique-name of client, or NULL
+ * @external_id: external ID to be chosen by client, or NULL
+ * @ret_path: storage for encoded object path pointer
+ *
+ * Whenever we provide a bus API that allows clients to create and manage
+ * server-side objects, we need to provide a unique name for these objects. If
+ * we let the server choose the name, we suffer from a race condition: If a
+ * client creates an object asynchronously, it cannot destroy that object until
+ * it received the method reply. It cannot know the name of the new object,
+ * thus, it cannot destroy it. Furthermore, it enforces a round-trip.
+ *
+ * Therefore, many APIs allow the client to choose the unique name for newly
+ * created objects. There're two problems to solve, though:
+ * 1) Object names are usually defined via dbus object paths, which are
+ * usually globally namespaced. Therefore, multiple clients must be able
+ * to choose unique object names without interference.
+ * 2) If multiple libraries share the same bus connection, they must be
+ * able to choose unique object names without interference.
+ * The first problem is solved easily by prefixing a name with the
+ * unique-bus-name of a connection. The server side must enforce this and
+ * reject any other name. The second problem is solved by providing unique
+ * suffixes from within sd-bus.
+ *
+ * This helper allows clients to create unique object-paths. It uses the
+ * template '/prefix/sender_id/external_id' and returns the new path in
+ * @ret_path (must be freed by the caller).
+ * If @sender_id is NULL, the unique-name of @b is used. If @external_id is
+ * NULL, this function allocates a unique suffix via @b (by requesting a new
+ * cookie). If both @sender_id and @external_id are given, @b can be passed as
+ * NULL.
+ *
+ * Returns: 0 on success, negative error code on failure.
