<title>Description</title>

<para><function>sd_bus_enqueue_for_read()</function> may be used to re-enqueue an incoming bus message on

the local read queue, so that it is processed and dispatched locally again, similar to how an incoming

message from the peer is processed. Takes a bus connection object and the message to enqueue. A reference

is taken of the message and the caller’s reference thus remains in possession of the caller. The message

is enqueued at the end of the queue, thus will be dispatched after all other already queued messages are

dispatched.</para>

<para>This call is primarily useful for dealing with incoming method calls that may be processed only

after an additional asynchronous operation completes. One example are PolicyKit authorization requests

that are determined to be necessary to authorize a newly incoming method call: when the PolicyKit response

is received the original method call may be re-enqueued to process it again, this time with the

authorization result known.</para>
