38 <title>Description</title>
40 <para><function>sd_bus_can_send()</function> is mostly used for checking if file descriptor
41 passing is available on the given bus. <parameter>type</parameter> can be any of the
42 <constant>SD_BUS_TYPE</constant> constants.</para>
46 <title>Return Value</title>
48 <para>On failure, <function>sd_bus_can_send()</function> returns a negative errno-style error
49 code. If values of the given type can be sent over the given bus, it returns a positive integer.
50 Otherwise, it returns zero.</para>
