These functions set or query D-Bus properties. D-Bus properties are service fields exposed via the org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties interface. Under the hood, these functions call methods of the org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties interface and as a result their semantics are similar to sd_bus_call_method(3).
sd_bus_set_property() sets a D-Bus property. If setting the property fails or an internal error occurs, an error is returned and an extended description of the error is optionally stored in ret_error if it is not NULL. type and the arguments that follow it describe the new value of the property and must follow the format described in sd_bus_message_append(3).
sd_bus_set_propertyv() is equivalent to sd_bus_set_property(), except that it is called with a "va_list" instead of a variable number of arguments.
sd_bus_get_property() queries a D-Bus property. If retrieving the property fails or an internal error occurs, an error is returned and an extended description of the error is optionally stored in ret_error if it is not NULL. On success, the property is stored in reply. type describes the property type and must follow the format described in sd_bus_message_append(3).
sd_bus_get_property_trivial(), sd_bus_get_property_string() and sd_bus_get_property_strv() are shorthands for sd_bus_get_property() that are used to query basic, string and string vector properties respectively. The caller is responsible for freeing the string and string vector results stored in ret by sd_bus_get_property_string() and sd_bus_get_property_strv().
On success, these functions return a non-negative integer. On failure, they return a negative errno-style error code.
See the sd_bus_call_method(3) man page for a list of possible errors.
These APIs are implemented as a shared library, which can be compiled and linked to with the libsystemd pkg-config(1) file.
