sd_bus_set_description() sets the description string that is used in
logging to the specified string. The string is copied internally and freed when the bus object
is deallocated. The description argument may be
NULL, in which case the description is unset. This function must be called
before the bus is started.
sd_bus_get_description() returns a description string in
description. This string may have been previously set with
sd_bus_set_description() or
sd_bus_open_with_description(3)
or similar. If not set this way, a default string like "system" or
"user" will be returned for the system or user buses, and
-ENXIO otherwise.
sd_bus_set_anonymous() enables or disables "anonymous authentication",
i.e. lack of authentication, of the bus peer. This function must be called before the bus is
started. See the
D-Bus Authentication Mechanisms section of the D-Bus specification for details.
sd_bus_is_anonymous() returns true if the bus connection allows
anonymous authentication (in the sense described in previous paragraph).
sd_bus_set_trusted() sets the "trusted" state on the
bus object. If true, all connections on the bus are trusted and access to
all privileged and unprivileged methods is granted. This function must be called before the bus
is started.
sd_bus_is_trusted() returns true if the bus connection is trusted (in
the sense described in previous paragraph).
sd_bus_set_allow_interactive_authorization() enables or disables
interactive authorization for method calls. If true, messages are marked with the
ALLOW_INTERACTIVE_AUTHORIZATION flag specified by the
D-Bus
specification, informing the receiving side that the caller is prepared to wait for interactive
authorization, which might take a considerable time to complete. If this flag is set, the user
may be queried for passwords or confirmation via
polkit or a similar
framework.
sd_bus_get_allow_interactive_authorization() returns true if
interactive authorization is allowed and false if not.
sd_bus_get_scope() stores the scope of the given bus object in
scope. The scope of the system bus is "system". The
scope of a user session bus is "user". If the given bus object is not the
system or a user session bus, sd_bus_get_scope() returns an error.
sd_bus_get_tid() stores the kernel thread id of the thread associated
with the given bus object in tid. If bus is a
default bus object obtained by calling one of the functions of the
sd_bus_default(3)
family of functions, it stores the thread id of the thread the bus object was created in.
Otherwise, if the bus object is attached to an event loop, it stores the thread id of the
thread the event loop object was created in. If bus is not a default bus
object and is not attached to an event loop, sd_bus_get_tid() returns an
error.
sd_bus_get_unique_name() stores the unique name of the bus object on
the bus in unique. See
The D-Bus specification for more information on bus names. Note that the caller does not
own the string stored in unique and should not free it.
On success, these functions return a non-negative integer. On failure, they return a negative errno-style error code.
Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
-EINVAL¶An argument is invalid.
-ENOPKG¶The bus cannot be resolved.
-EPERM¶The bus has already been started.
-ECHILD¶The bus was created in a different process, library or module instance.
-ENOMEM¶Memory allocation failed.
-ENODATA¶The bus object passed to sd_bus_get_scope() was not a
system or user session bus.
-ENXIO¶The bus object passed to sd_bus_get_tid() was not a
default bus object and is not attached to an event loop.
The bus object passed to sd_bus_get_description() did
not have a description.
Functions described here are available as a shared
library, which can be compiled against and linked to with the
libsystemd pkg-config(1)
file.
The code described here uses
getenv(3),
which is declared to be not multi-thread-safe. This means that the code calling the functions described
here must not call
setenv(3)
from a parallel thread. It is recommended to only do calls to setenv()
from an early phase of the program when no other threads have been started.
