+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_set_connected_signal()</function> may be used to control whether a local, synthetic
+ <function>Connected()</function> signal message shall be generated and enqueued for dispatching when the connection
+ is fully established. If the <parameter>b</parameter> parameter is zero the message is not generated (the default),
+ otherwise it is generated.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_get_connected_signal()</function> may be used to query whether this feature is enabled. It
+ returns zero if not, positive otherwise.</para>
+
+ <para>The <function>Connected()</function> signal message is generated from the
+ <literal>org.freedesktop.DBus.Local</literal> service and interface, and
+ <literal>/org/freedesktop/DBus/Local</literal> object path. Use
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_match_signal_async</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> to
+ match on this signal.</para>
+
+ <para>This message is particularly useful on slow transports where connections take a long time to be
+ established. This is especially the case when
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_set_watch_bind</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> is
+ used. The signal is generated when the
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_is_ready</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> returns
+ positive for the first time.</para>
+
+ <para>The <function>Connected()</function> signal corresponds with the <function>Disconnected()</function> signal
+ that is synthesized locally when the connection is terminated. The latter is generated unconditionally however,
+ unlike the former which needs to be enabled explicitly before it is generated, with
+ <function>sd_bus_set_connected_signal()</function>.</para>

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

+ <title>Errors</title>
+
+ <para>Returned errors may indicate the following problems:</para>

+ <listitem><para>The bus connection has been created in a different process.</para></listitem>

+ <title>Notes</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_set_connected_signal()</function> and <function>sd_bus_get_connected_signal()</function> are available as
+ a shared library, which can be compiled and linked to with the <constant>libelogind</constant> <citerefentry
