## Description

`sd_bus_slot_ref()` increases the internal reference counter of slot by one.

`sd_bus_slot_unref()` decreases the internal reference counter of slot by one. Once the reference count has dropped to zero, slot object is destroyed and cannot be used anymore, so further calls to `sd_bus_slot_ref()` or `sd_bus_slot_unref()` are illegal.

`sd_bus_slot_unrefp()` is similar to `sd_bus_slot_unref()` but takes a pointer to a pointer to an sd_bus_slot object. This call is useful in conjunction with GCC's and LLVM's Clean-up Variable Attribute. See sd_bus_new 3 for an example how to use the cleanup attribute.

`sd_bus_slot_ref()` and `sd_bus_slot_unref()` execute no operation if the passed in bus object address is `NULL`. `sd_bus_slot_unrefp()` will first dereference its argument, which must not be `NULL`, and will execute no operation if that is `NULL`.

## Return Value

`sd_bus_slot_ref()` always returns the argument.

`sd_bus_slot_unref()` always returns `NULL`.
