- <para><function>sd_bus_release_name()</function> releases an
- acquired well-known name. It takes a bus connection and a valid
- bus name as parameters.</para>
+ <para><function>sd_bus_request_name()</function> operates in a synchronous fashion: a message requesting the name
+ is sent to the bus broker, and the call waits until the broker responds.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_request_name_async()</function> is an asynchronous version of
+ <function>sd_bus_release_name()</function>. Instead of waiting for the request to complete, the request message is
+ enqueued. The specified <parameter>callback</parameter> will be called when the broker's response is received. If
+ the parameter is specified as <constant>NULL</constant> a default implementation is used instead which will
+ terminate the connection when the name cannot be acquired. The function returns a slot object in its
+ <parameter>slot</parameter> parameter — if it is passed as non-<constant>NULL</constant> — which may be used as a
+ reference to the name request operation. Use
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_slot_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> to destroy
+ this reference. Note that destroying the reference will not unregister the name, but simply ensure the specified
+ callback is no longer called.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_release_name()</function> releases an acquired well-known name. It takes a bus connection
+ and a valid bus name as parameters. This function operates synchronously, sending a release request message to the
+ bus broker and waiting for it to reply.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_release_name_async()</function> is an asynchronous version of
+ <function>sd_bus_release_name()</function>. The specified <parameter>callback</parameter> function is called when
+ the name has been released successfully. If specified as <constant>NULL</constant> a generic implementation is used
+ that ignores the result of the operation. As above, the <parameter>slot</parameter> (if
+ non-<constant>NULL</constant>) is set to an object that may be used to reference the operation.</para>
+
+ <para>These functions are supported only on bus connections, i.e. connections to a bus broker and not on direct
