Lennart Poettering 818bf54632 tree-wide: drop 'This file is part of systemd' blurb
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html

The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.

hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.

<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_bus_is_open()</function> checks whether the specified bus connection is open, i.e. in the
process of being established, already established or in the process of being torn down. It returns zero when the
connection has not been started yet
(i.e. <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_start</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> or some
equivalent call has not been invoked yet), or is fully terminated again (for example after
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_close</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>), it returns
positive otherwise.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_is_ready()</function> checks whether the specified connection is fully established,
i.e. completed the connection and authentication phases of the protocol and received the
<function>Hello()</function> method call response, and is not in the process of being torn down again. It returns
zero outside of this state, and positive otherwise. Effectively, this function returns positive while regular
messages can be sent or received on the connection.</para>
<para>To be notified when the connection is fully established, use
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_set_connected_signal</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> and
install a match for the <function>Connected()</function> signal on the
<literal>org.freedesktop.DBus.Local</literal> interface. To be notified when the connection is torn down again,
install a match for the <function>Disconnected()</function> signal on the
<literal>org.freedesktop.DBus.Local</literal> interface.</para>

<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On success, these functions return 0 or a positive integer. On failure, they return a negative errno-style
error code.</para>
