    <title>Description</title>

    <para>The userdata pointer allows data to be passed between the point where a callback is
    registered, for example when a filter is added using
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_add_filter</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    or an asynchronous function call is made using
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_call_async</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
    and the point where the callback is called, without having any global state. The pointer has
    type <type>void*</type> and is not used by the sd-bus functions in any way, except to pass to
    the callback function.</para>

    <para>Usually, the userdata field is set when the slot object is initially
    registered. <function>sd_bus_slot_set_userdata()</function> may be used to change it later for
    the bus slot object <parameter>slot</parameter>. Previous value of the field is returned. The
    argument and returned value may be <constant>NULL</constant>. It will be passed as the
    <parameter>userdata</parameter> argument to the callback function attached to the slot.</para>

    <para><function>sd_bus_slot_set_userdata()</function> gets the value of the userdata field in
    the bus slot object <parameter>slot</parameter>.</para>
  </refsect1>

  <refsect1>
    <title>Return Value</title>

    <para>On success, these functions return the value of the userdata field before the function
    call. If the <parameter>slot</parameter> object is <constant>NULL</constant>,
    <constant>NULL</constant> will be returned to signify an error, but this is not distinguishable
    from the userdata field value being <constant>NULL</constant>.</para>
