Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 3a54a15760 man: use same header for all files
The "include" files had type "book" for some raeason. I don't think this
is meaningful. Let's just use the same everywhere.

$ perl -i -0pe 's^..DOCTYPE (book|refentry) PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.[25]//EN"\s+"http^<!DOCTYPE refentry PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN"\n  "http^gms' man/*.xml

<title>Description</title>
<para>The userdata pointer allows data to be passed between the point where a callback is
registered, for example when a filter is added using
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_add_filter</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
or an asynchronous function call is made using
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_call_async</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
and the point where the callback is called, without having any global state. The pointer has
type <type>void*</type> and is not used by the sd-bus functions in any way, except to pass to
the callback function.</para>
<para>Usually, the userdata field is set when the slot object is initially
registered. <function>sd_bus_slot_set_userdata()</function> may be used to change it later for
the bus slot object <parameter>slot</parameter>. Previous value of the field is returned. The
argument and returned value may be <constant>NULL</constant>. It will be passed as the
<parameter>userdata</parameter> argument to the callback function attached to the slot.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_slot_set_userdata()</function> gets the value of the userdata field in
the bus slot object <parameter>slot</parameter>.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On success, these functions return the value of the userdata field before the function
call. If the <parameter>slot</parameter> object is <constant>NULL</constant>,
<constant>NULL</constant> will be returned to signify an error, but this is not distinguishable
from the userdata field value being <constant>NULL</constant>.</para>
