+    <title>Description</title>
+
+    <para><function>sd_bus_send()</function> queues the bus message object <parameter>m</parameter>
+    for transfer. If <parameter>bus</parameter> is <constant>NULL</constant>, the bus that
+    <parameter>m</parameter> is attached to is used. <parameter>bus</parameter> only needs to be set
+    when the message is sent to a different bus than the one it's attached to, for example when
+    forwarding messages. If the output parameter <parameter>cookie</parameter> is not
+    <constant>NULL</constant>, it is set to the message identifier. This value can later be used to
+    match incoming replies to their corresponding messages. If <parameter>cookie</parameter> is set
+    to <constant>NULL</constant> and the message is not sealed, <function>sd_bus_send()</function>
+    assumes the message <parameter>m</parameter> doesn't expect a reply and adds the necessary
+    headers to indicate this.</para>
+
+    <para>Note that in most scenarios, <function>sd_bus_send()</function> should not be called
+    directly. Instead, use higher level functions such as
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_call_method</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> and
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_reply_method_return</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    which call <function>sd_bus_send()</function> internally.</para>
