sd_bus_query_sender_creds() returns the credentials of the message
m. The mask parameter is a combo of
SD_BUS_CREDS_* flags that indicate which credential info the caller is
interested in. See
sd_bus_creds_new_from_pid(3)
for a list of possible flags. First, this message checks if the requested credentials are attached to the
message itself. If not, but the message contains the pid of the sender and the caller specified the
SD_BUS_CREDS_AUGMENT flag, this function tries to figure out
the missing credentials via other means (starting from the pid). If the pid isn't available but the
message has a sender, this function calls
sd_bus_get_name_creds(3)
to get the requested credentials. If the message has no sender (when a direct connection is used), this
function calls
sd_bus_get_owner_creds(3)
to get the requested credentials. On success, the requested credentials are stored in
creds. Ownership of the credentials object in creds is
transferred to the caller and should be freed by calling
sd_bus_creds_unref(3).
sd_bus_query_sender_privilege() checks if the message m
has the requested privileges. If capability is a non-negative integer, this
function checks if the message has the capability with the same value. See
capabilities(7)
for a list of capabilities. If capability is a negative integer, this function
returns whether the sender of the message runs as the same user as the receiver of the message, or if the
sender of the message runs as root and the receiver of the message does not run as root. On success and
if the message has the requested privileges, this function returns a positive integer. If the message
does not have the requested privileges, this function returns zero.
On success, these functions return a non-negative integer. On failure, they return a negative errno-style error code.
