    <title>Description</title>

    <para><function>sd_bus_set_close_on_exit()</function> may be used to enable or disable whether
    the bus connection is automatically flushed (as in
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_flush</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>)
    and closed (as in
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_close</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>)
    during the exit phase of the event loop. This logic only applies to bus connections that are
    attached to an
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-event</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    event loop, see
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_attach_event</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
    By default this mechanism is enabled and makes sure that any pending messages that have not been
    written to the bus connection are written out when the event loop is shutting down. In some
    cases this behaviour is not desirable, for example when the bus connection shall remain usable
    until after the event loop exited. If <parameter>b</parameter> is true, the feature is enabled
    (which is the default), otherwise disabled.</para>

    <para><function>sd_bus_get_close_on_exit()</function> may be used to query the current setting
    of this feature. It returns zero when the feature is disabled, and positive if enabled.</para>

    <title>Return Value</title>

    <para>On success, <function>sd_bus_set_close_on_exit()</function> returns a non-negative
    integer. On failure, it returns a negative errno-style error code.</para>

    <para><function>sd_bus_get_close_on_exit()</function> returns 0 if the feature is currently
    disabled or a positive integer if it is enabled. On failure, it returns a negative errno-style
    error code.</para>

      <title>Errors</title>

      <para>Returned errors may indicate the following problems:</para>
