<title>Description</title>
<para>These functions return credential information from an
<parameter>sd_bus_creds</parameter> object. Credential objects may
be created with
2014-01-04 09:08:50 +04:00
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_creds_new_from_pid</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
in which case they describe the credentials of the process
identified by the specified PID, with
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_get_name_creds</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
in which case they describe the credentials of a bus peer
identified by the specified bus name, with
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_get_owner_creds</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
in which case they describe the credentials of the creator of a
bus, or with
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_get_creds</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
in which case they describe the credentials of the sender of the
message.</para>
<para>Not all credential fields are part of every
<literal>sd_bus_creds</literal> object. Use
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_creds_get_mask</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
to determine the mask of fields available.</para>
2014-01-04 09:08:50 +04:00
<para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_pid()</function> will retrieve
the PID (process identifier). Similarly,

2014-10-18 18:20:24 +04:00
<para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_gid()</function> will retrieve the
numeric GID (group identifier). Similarly,
<function>sd_bus_creds_get_egid()</function> returns the effective
GID, <function>sd_bus_creds_get_sgid()</function> the saved GID
and <function>sd_bus_creds_get_fsgid()</function> the file system
GID.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_supplementary_gids()</function>
will retrieve the supplementary GIDs list.</para>
2014-01-04 09:08:50 +04:00
2014-10-18 18:20:24 +04:00
<para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_comm()</function> will retrieve the
comm field (truncated name of the executable, as stored in
2014-01-04 09:08:50 +04:00
<filename>/proc/<replaceable>pid</replaceable>/comm</filename>).
</para>
2014-10-18 18:20:24 +04:00
<para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_tid_comm()</function> will retrieve
2014-01-04 09:08:50 +04:00
the comm field of the thread (as stored in
<filename>/proc/<replaceable>pid</replaceable>/task/<replaceable>tid</replaceable>/comm</filename>).
</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_exe()</function> will retrieve
the path to the program executable (as stored in the
2014-01-04 09:08:50 +04:00
<filename>/proc/<replaceable>pid</replaceable>/exe</filename>
link, but with the <literal> (deleted)</literal> suffix removed). Note
that kernel threads do not have an executable path, in which case
-ENXIO is returned.</para>
2014-01-04 09:08:50 +04:00
<para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_cmdline()</function> will
retrieve an array of command line arguments (as stored in
<filename>/proc/<replaceable>pid</replaceable>/cmdline</filename>). Note
that kernel threads do not have a command line, in which case
-ENXIO is returned.</para>
2014-01-04 09:08:50 +04:00
2014-10-18 18:20:24 +04:00
<para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_cgroup()</function> will retrieve
the control group path. See <ulink
url="https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/cgroup-v1/cgroups.txt">cgroups.txt</ulink>.
2014-01-04 09:08:50 +04:00
</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_unit()</function> will retrieve
the systemd unit name (in the system instance of systemd) that the
process is a part of. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>. For
processes that are not part of a unit, returns -ENXIO.
2014-01-04 09:08:50 +04:00
</para>
2014-10-18 18:20:24 +04:00
<para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_user_unit()</function> will
2014-01-04 09:08:50 +04:00
retrieve the systemd unit name (in the user instance of systemd)
that the process is a part of. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>. For
processes that are not part of a user unit, returns -ENXIO.
2014-01-04 09:08:50 +04:00
</para>
2014-10-18 18:20:24 +04:00
<para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_slice()</function> will retrieve
2014-01-04 09:08:50 +04:00
the systemd slice (a unit in the system instance of systemd) that
the process is a part of. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.slice</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>. Similarly,
<function>sd_bus_creds_get_user_slice()</function> retrieves the
systemd slice of the process, in the user instance of systemd.
2014-01-04 09:08:50 +04:00
</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_session()</function> will
retrieve the identifier of the login session that the process is
a part of. Please note the login session may be limited to a stub
process or two. User processes may instead be started from their
systemd user manager, e.g. GUI applications started using DBus
activation, as well as service processes which are shared between
multiple logins of the same user. For processes that are not part
of a session, returns -ENXIO.</para>
2014-01-04 09:08:50 +04:00
<para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_owner_uid()</function> will
retrieve the numeric UID (user identifier) of the user who owns
the user unit or login session that the process is a part of. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-logind.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
For processes that are not part of a user unit or session, returns
-ENXIO.
2014-01-04 09:08:50 +04:00
</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_creds_has_effective_cap()</function> will check whether the capability specified by
<parameter>capability</parameter> was set in the effective capabilities mask. A positive return value means that it
was set, zero means that it was not set, and a negative return value indicates an error. See <citerefentry
project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>capabilities</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> and the
<varname>AmbientCapabilities=</varname> and <varname>CapabilityBoundingSet=</varname> settings in
