    <title>Description</title>

    <para>
      <function>sd_bus_get_n_queued_read()</function> may be used to query the number of bus messages in the read queue
      of a bus connection object. The read queue contains all messages read from the transport medium (e.g. network
      socket) but not yet processed locally. The function expects two arguments: the bus object to query, and a pointer
      to a 64-bit counter variable to write the current queue size to. Use <function>sd_bus_process()</function> in
      order to process queued messages, i.e. to reduce the size of the read queue (as well as, in fact, the write
      queue, see below).
    </para>

    <para>
      Similarly, <function>sd_bus_get_n_queued_write()</function> may be used to query the number of currently pending
      bus messages in the write queue of a bus connection object. The write queue contains all messages enqueued into
      the connection with a call such as <function>sd_bus_send()</function> but not yet written to the transport
      medium. The expected arguments are similar to <function>sd_bus_get_n_queued_read()</function>. Here too, use
      <function>sd_bus_process()</function> to reduce the size of the write queue. Alternatively, use
      <function>sd_bus_flush()</function> to synchronously write out any pending bus messages until the write queue is
      empty.

    <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>
