-    <para>
-      <function>sd_bus_add_match()</function> installs a match rule for incoming messages received on the specified bus
-      connection object <parameter>bus</parameter>. The syntax of the match rule expression passed in
-      <parameter>match</parameter> is described in the <ulink
-      url="https://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html">D-Bus Specification</ulink>. The specified handler
-      function <parameter>callback</parameter> is called for eaching incoming message matching the specified
-      expression, the <parameter>userdata</parameter> parameter is passed as-is to the callback function.

+    <parameter>match</parameter> is described in the <ulink

+    function <parameter>callback</parameter> is called for eaching incoming message matching the specified expression,
+    the <parameter>userdata</parameter> parameter is passed as-is to the callback function. The match is installed
+    synchronously when connected to a bus broker, i.e. the call sends a control message requested the match to be added
+    to the broker and waits until the broker confirms the match has been installed successfully.</para>
+
+    <para><function>sd_bus_add_match_async()</function> operates very similar to
+    <function>sd_bus_match_signal()</function>, however it installs the match asynchronously, in a non-blocking
+    fashion: a request is sent to the broker, but the call does not wait for a response. The
+    <parameter>install_callback</parameter> function is called when the response is later received, with the response
+    message from the broker as parameter. If this function is specified as <constant>NULL</constant> a default
+    implementation is used that terminates the bus connection should installing the match fail.</para>
+
+    <para><function>sd_bus_match_signal()</function> is very similar to <function>sd_bus_add_match()</function>, but
+    only matches signals, and instead of a match expression accepts four parameters: <parameter>sender</parameter> (the
+    service name of the sender), <parameter>path</parameter> (the object path of the emitting object),
+    <parameter>interface</parameter> (the interface the signal belongs to), <parameter>member</parameter> (the signal
+    name), from which the match string is internally generated. Optionally, these parameters may be specified as
+    <constant>NULL</constant> in which case the relevant field of incoming signals is not tested.</para>
+
+    <para><function>sd_bus_match_signal_async()</function> is combines the signal matching logic of
+    <function>sd_bus_match_signal()</function> with the asynchronous behaviour of
+    <function>sd_bus_add_match_async()</function>.</para>
+
+    <para>On success, and if non-<constant>NULL</constant>, the <parameter>slot</parameter> return parameter will be
+    set to a slot object that may be used as a reference to the installed match, and may be utilized to remove it again
+    at a later time with
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_slot_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. If specified
+    as <constant>NULL</constant> the lifetime of the match is bound to the lifetime of the bus object itself, and the
+    match cannot be removed independently.</para>
+
+    <para>The message <parameter>m</parameter> passed to the callback is only borrowed, that is, the callback should
+    not call <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    on it. If the callback wants to hold on to the message beyond the lifetime of the callback, it needs to call
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_ref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> to create a
+    new reference.</para>
+
+    <para>If an error occurs during the callback invocation, the callback should return a negative error number
+    (optionally, a more precise error may be returned in <parameter>ret_error</parameter>, as well). If it wants other
+    callbacks that match the same rule to be called, it should return 0. Otherwise it should return a positive integer.
