+
+    <para><function>sd_bus_close()</function> disconnects the specified bus connection. When this call is invoked and
+    the specified bus object refers to an active connection it is immediately terminated. No further messages may be
+    sent or receieved on it. Any messages queued in the bus object (both incoming and outgoing) are released. If
+    invoked on <constant>NULL</constant> bus object or when the bus connection is already closed this function executes
+    no operation. This call does not free or unreference the bus object itself. Use
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> for that.</para>
+
+    <para><function>sd_bus_flush()</function> synchronously writes out all outgoing queued message on a bus connection
+    if there are any. This function call may block if the peer is not processing bus messages quickly.</para>
+
+    <para>Before a program exits it is usually a good idea to flush any pending messages with
+    <function>sd_bus_flush()</function> and then close connections with <function>sd_bus_close()</function> to ensure
+    that no unwritten messages are lost, no further messages may be queued and all incoming but unprocessed messages
+    are released. After both operations have been done, it is a good idea to also drop any remaining references to the
+    bus object so that it may be freed. Since these three operations are frequently done together a helper call
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_flush_close_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> is
+    provided that combines them into one.</para>
