DESCRIPTION

28       sd_bus_set_server() configures the bus object as a server for direct
29       D-Bus connections.  b enables/disables the server mode. If zero, the
30       server mode is disabled. Otherwise, the server mode is enabled.
31       Configuring a bus object as a server is required to allow establishing
32       direct connections between two peers without going via the D-Bus
33       daemon.  id must contain a 128-bit integer id for the server. If
34       clients add a guid field to their D-Bus address string, the server id
35       must match this guid or the D-Bus authentication handshake will fail.
36       If no specific id is defined for the server, sd_id128_randomize(3) can
37       be used to generate a random id instead.
38
39       sd_bus_is_server() returns whether the server mode is enabled for the
40       given bus object.
41
42       sd_bus_get_bus_id() stores the D-Bus server id configured using
43       sd_bus_set_server() (for server bus objects) or received during D-Bus
44       authentication (for client bus objects) in id.
45
46       sd_bus_set_bus_client() configures the bus object as a D-Bus daemon
47       client.  b enables/disables the client mode. If zero, the client mode
48       is disabled and the bus object should connect directly to a D-Bus
49       server. Otherwise, the client mode is enabled and the bus object should
50       connect to a D-Bus daemon. When connecting to an existing bus using any
51       of the functions in the sd_bus_open(3) family of functions or any of
52       the functions in the sd_bus_default(3) family of functions, the bus
53       object is automatically configured as a bus client. However, when
54       connecting to a D-Bus daemon by calling sd_bus_set_address(3) followed
55       by sd_bus_start(3), the bus object should be manually configured as a
56       bus client using sd_bus_set_bus_client(). By default, a bus object is
57       not configured as a D-Bus daemon client.
58
59       sd_bus_is_bus_client() returns whether the client mode is
60       enabled/disabled for the given bus object.
61
62       sd_bus_set_monitor() configures the bus object as a D-Bus monitor
63       object.  b enables/disables the monitor mode. If zero, the monitor mode
64       is disabled. If non-zero, the monitor mode is enabled. When the monitor
65       mode is enabled, no messages may be sent via the bus object and it may
66       not expose any objects on the bus. To start monitoring messages, call
67       the org.freedesktop.DBus.Monitoring.BecomeMonitor method of the D-Bus
68       daemon and pass a list of matches indicating which messages to
69       intercept. See The D-Bus specification[1] for more information.
70
71       sd_bus_is_monitor() returns whether the monitor mode is
72       enabled/disabled for the given bus object.
73

RETURN VALUE

75       On success, sd_bus_set_server(), sd_bus_get_bus_id(),
76       sd_bus_set_bus_client() and sd_bus_set_monitor() return a non-negative
77       integer. On failure, they return a negative errno-style error code.
78
79       sd_bus_is_server(), sd_bus_is_bus_client() and sd_bus_is_monitor()
80       return a positive integer when the server or client mode is enabled,
81       respectively. Otherwise, they return zero.
82
83   Errors
84       Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
85
86       -ECHILD
87           The bus connection has been created in a different process.
88
89       -EPERM
90           The bus connection has already been started.
91
92       -ENOPKG
93           The bus cannot be resolved.
94
95       -EINVAL
96           A required parameter was NULL or b was zero and id did not equal
97           SD_ID128_NULL.
98
99       -ENOTCONN
100           The bus is not connected.
