+                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>
