    <title>Description</title>

    <para><function>sd_bus_slot_set_description()</function> sets the description string
    that is used in logging to the specified string. The string is copied internally
    and freed when the bus slot object is deallocated. The
    <parameter>description</parameter> argument may be <constant>NULL</constant>, in
    which case the description is unset.</para>

    <para><function>sd_bus_slot_get_description()</function> returns a description string in
    <parameter>description</parameter>. If the string is not set, e.g. with
    <function>sd_bus_slot_set_description()</function>, and the slot is a bus match callback slot,
    the match string will be returned. Otherwise, <constant>-ENXIO</constant> is returned.

    <para>On success, these functions return 0 or a positive integer. On failure,
    they return a negative errno-style error code.</para>
