+
+    <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

+    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

+    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>
