    <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 64-bit 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 64-bit unsigned integer variable.</para>
  </refsect1>

  <refsect1>
    <title>Errors</title>

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

    <variablelist>
      <varlistentry>
        <term><constant>-EINVAL</constant></term>

        <listitem><para>A specified parameter
        is invalid.</para></listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><constant>-ENODATA</constant></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 a reply cookie
        field.</para></listitem>
      </varlistentry>
    </variablelist>
  </refsect1>
