Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek b1de39dec8 man: make separate "Errors" sections subsection of "Return value"
Logically, this is better, because we're describing a subset of possible
return values. Visually this also looks quite good because groff renders
refsect2 much less prominently.

Also rewrap things, add <constant> in various places, fix some typos.

<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, they 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>
<refsect2>
<title>Errors</title>
<para>Returned errors may indicate the following problems:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><constant>-EINVAL</constant></term>
<listitem><para>A specified parameter is invalid.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><constant>-ENODATA</constant></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>
