This is already included in .dir-locals, so we don't need it
in the files themselves.

<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 64bit 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.
