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 NULL 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 Authentication Mechanisms[1] 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[2] 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[3] 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[4] 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.

-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.

These APIs are implemented as a shared library, which can be compiled and linked to with the libelogind pkg-config(1) file.
