+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_message_get_monotonic_usec()</function>
+ returns the monotonic timestamp of the time the
+ message was sent. This value is in microseconds since
+ the <literal>CLOCK_MONOTONIC</literal> epoch, see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>clock_gettime</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for details.</para>
+
+ <para>Similar,
+ <function>sd_bus_message_get_realtime_usec()</function>
+ returns the realtime (wallclock) timestamp of the time
+ the message was sent. This value is in microseconds
+ since Jan 1st, 1970, i.e. in the
+ <literal>CLOCK_REALTIME</literal> clock.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_message_get_seqnum()</function>
+ returns the kernel-assigned sequence number of the
+ message. The kernel assigns a global monotonically increasing
+ sequence number to all messages sent on the local
+ system. This sequence number is useful for determining
+ message send order, even across different busses of
+ the local system. The sequence number combined with
+ the boot ID of the system (as returned by
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_id128_get_boot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>)
+ is a suitable globally unique identifier for bus
+ messages.</para>
+
+ <para>These timestamps and the sequence number are
+ attached to each message by the kernel and cannot be
+ manipulated by the sending userspace.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that these timestamps are only available on
+ some bus transports, and only after support for them
+ has been negotiated with the
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_negotiate_timestamp</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ call.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Return Value</title>
+
+ <para>On success, these calls return 0 or a positive
+ integer. On failure, these calls return a negative
+ errno-style error code.</para>
+
+ <para>On success, the timestamp or sequence number is
+ returned in the specified 64-bit unsigned integer
+ variable.</para>

+ <title>Errors</title>
+
+ <para>Returned errors may indicate the following problems:</para>

+ error is returned if the underlying
+ transport does not support
