SD_BUS_GET_NAME_CREDS(3) sd_bus_get_name_creds SD_BUS_GET_NAME_CREDS(3)
sd_bus_get_name_creds, sd_bus_get_owner_creds - Query bus client
credentials
#include <systemd/sd-bus.h>
int sd_bus_get_name_creds(sd_bus *bus, const char *name,
uint64_t mask, sd_bus_creds **creds);
int sd_bus_get_owner_creds(sd_bus *bus, uint64_t mask,
sd_bus_creds **creds);
sd_bus_get_name_creds() queries the credentials of the bus client
identified by name. 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. On success, creds contains a new
sd_bus_creds instance with the requested information. Ownership of
this instance belongs to the caller and it should be freed once no
longer needed by calling sd_bus_creds_unref(3).
sd_bus_get_owner_creds() queries the credentials of the creator of
the given bus. The mask and creds parameters behave the same as in
sd_bus_get_name_creds().
On success, these functions return a non-negative integer. On
failure, they return a negative errno-style error code.
Errors
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.
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.
sd_bus_get_name_creds() and sd_bus_get_owner_creds() were added in
version 221.
