<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_bus_process()</function> drives the connection between the client and the message bus. That is,
it handles connecting, authentication, and message processing. When invoked pending I/O work is executed, and
queued incoming messages are dispatched to registered callbacks. Each time it is invoked a single operation is
executed. It returns zero when no operations were pending and positive if a message was processed. When zero is
returned the caller should synchronously poll for I/O events before calling into
<function>sd_bus_process()</function> again. For that either use the simple, synchronous
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_wait</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> call, or hook up
the bus connection object to an external or manual event loop using
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_get_fd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_process()</function> processes at most one incoming message per call. If the parameter
<parameter>ret</parameter> is not <constant>NULL</constant> and the call processed a message,
<parameter>*ret</parameter> is set to this message. The caller owns a reference to this message and should call
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> when the
message is no longer needed. If <parameter>ret</parameter> is not <constant>NULL</constant>, progress was made, but no message was
processed, <parameter>*ret</parameter> is set to <constant>NULL</constant>.</para>
<para>If the bus object is connected to an
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-event</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> event loop (with
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_attach_event</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>), it is not
necessary to call <function>sd_bus_process()</function> directly as it is invoked automatically when
necessary.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Return Value</title>
<para>If progress was made, a positive integer is returned. If no progress was made, 0 is returned. If an
error occurs, a negative <varname>errno</varname>-style error code is returned.</para>
