<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_bus_message_get_cookie()</function> returns
the transaction cookie of a message. The cookie
uniquely identifies a message within each bus peer,
but is not globally unique. It is assigned when a
message is sent.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_message_get_reply_cookie()</function>
returns the transaction cookie of the message the
specified message is a response to. When a reply
message is generated for a method call message, its
cookie is copied over into this field. Note that while
every message that is transferred is identified by a
cookie, only response messages carry a reply cookie
field.</para>
<para>Both functions take a message object as first
parameter and a place to store the 64-bit cookie
in.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On success, these calls return 0 or a positive
integer. On failure, these calls return a negative
errno-style error code.</para>
<para>On success, the cookie/reply cookie is returned
in the specified 64-bit unsigned integer variable.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Errors</title>
<para>Returned errors may indicate the following problems:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>-EINVAL</varname></term>
<listitem><para>A specified parameter
is invalid.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>-ENODATA</varname></term>
<listitem><para>No cookie has been
assigned to this message. This either
indicates that the message has not
been sent yet and hence has no cookie
assigned, or that the message is not a
method response message and hence
carries a reply cookie
field.</para></listitem>
