- <para><function>sd_bus_negotiate_fds()</function> controls whether
- file descriptor passing shall be negotiated for the specified bus
- connection. It takes a bus object and a boolean, which, when true,
- enables file descriptor passing, and, when false, disables
- it. Note that not all transports and servers support file
- descriptor passing. In particular, networked transports generally
- do not support file descriptor passing. To find out whether file
- descriptor passing is available after negotiation, use

<para><function>sd_bus_negotiate_creds()</function> controls whether and which implicit sender

- or do not support all types of sender credential parameters, or might suppress them under
- certain circumstances for individual messages. Specifically, dbus1 only supports
