+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_message_get_cookie()</function> returns
+ the transaction cookie of a message. The cookie
+ uniquely identifies a message within each bus peer,
+ but is not globally unique. It is assigned when a
+ message is sent.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_message_get_reply_cookie()</function>
+ returns the transaction cookie of the message the
+ specified message is a response to. When a reply
+ message is generated for a method call message its
+ cookie is copied over into this field. Note that while
+ every message that is transferred is identified by a
+ cookie, only response messages carry a reply cookie
+ field.</para>
+
+ <para>Both functions take a message object as first
+ parameter and a place to store the 64bit cookie
+ in.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Return Value</title>
+
+ <para>On success, these calls return 0 or a positive
+ integer. On failure, these calls return a negative
+ errno-style error code.</para>
+
+ <para>On success the cookie/reply cookie is returned
+ in the specified 64bit unsigned integer variable.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Errors</title>
+
+ <para>Returned errors may indicate the following problems:</para>

+ is invalid.</para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><varname>-ENODATA</varname></term>
+
+ <listitem><para>No cookie has been
+ assigned to this message. This either
+ indicates that the message has not
+ been sent yet and hence has no cookie
+ assigned, or that the message is not a
+ method response message and hence
+ carries to reply cookie
+ field.</para></listitem>
