This pointer to this object will be stored in ret pointer. The information that will be stored is determined by creds_mask. It may contain a subset of ORed constants SD_BUS_CREDS_PID, SD_BUS_CREDS_TID, SD_BUS_CREDS_UID, SD_BUS_CREDS_GID, SD_BUS_CREDS_COMM, SD_BUS_CREDS_TID_COMM, SD_BUS_CREDS_EXE, SD_BUS_CREDS_CMDLINE, SD_BUS_CREDS_CGROUP, SD_BUS_CREDS_UNIT, SD_BUS_CREDS_USER_UNIT, SD_BUS_CREDS_SLICE, SD_BUS_CREDS_SESSION, SD_BUS_CREDS_OWNER_UID, SD_BUS_CREDS_EFFECTIVE_CAPS, SD_BUS_CREDS_PERMITTED_CAPS, SD_BUS_CREDS_INHERITABLE_CAPS, SD_BUS_CREDS_BOUNDING_CAPS, SD_BUS_CREDS_SELINUX_CONTEXT, SD_BUS_CREDS_AUDIT_SESSION_ID, SD_BUS_CREDS_AUDIT_LOGIN_UID, SD_BUS_CREDS_UNIQUE_NAME, SD_BUS_CREDS_WELL_KNOWN_NAMES, or _SD_BUS_CREDS_ALL to indicate all known fields. Fields can be retrieved from the credentials object using sd_bus_creds_get_pid3 and other functions which correspond directly to the constants listed above. A mask of fields which were actually successfully set (acquired from /proc, etc.) can be retrieved with sd_bus_creds_get_mask(). If the credentials object was created with sd_bus_creds_new_from_pid(), this will be a subset of fields requested in creds_mask. sd_bus_creds_ref creates a new reference to the credentials object c. This object will not be destroyed until sd_bus_creds_unref has been called as many times plus once more. Once the reference count has dropped to zero, c cannot be used anymore, so further calls to sd_bus_creds_ref(c) or sd_bus_creds_unref(c) are illegal. sd_bus_creds_unref destroys a reference to c. On success, sd_bus_creds_new_from_pid() returns 0 or a positive integer. On failure, it returns a negative errno-style error code. sd_bus_creds_get_mask() returns the mask of successfully acquired fields. sd_bus_creds_ref always returns the argument. sd_bus_creds_unref always returns NULL. Function sd_bus_creds_new_from_pid() creates a new object and the caller owns the sole reference. When not needed anymore, this reference should be destroyed with sd_bus_creds_unref3. Returned errors may indicate the following problems: -ESRCH Specified pid could not be found. -EINVAL Specified parameter is invalid (NULL in case of output parameters). -ENOMEM Memory allocation failed. sd_bus_creds_new_from_pid() is available as a shared library, which can be compiled and linked to with the libsystemd pkg-config1 file. systemd1, sd-bus3, sd_bus_creds_ref3, sd_bus_creds_unref3, sd_bus_creds_get_pid3, sd_bus_creds_get_tid3, sd_bus_creds_get_uid3, sd_bus_creds_get_gid3, sd_bus_creds_get_comm3, sd_bus_creds_get_tid_comm3, sd_bus_creds_get_exe3, sd_bus_creds_get_cmdline3, sd_bus_creds_get_cgroup3, sd_bus_creds_get_unit3, sd_bus_creds_get_user_unit3, sd_bus_creds_get_slice3, sd_bus_creds_get_session3, sd_bus_creds_get_owner_uid3, sd_bus_creds_has_effective_cap3, sd_bus_creds_has_permitted_cap3, sd_bus_creds_has_inheritable_cap3, sd_bus_creds_has_bounding_cap3, sd_bus_creds_get_selinux_context3, sd_bus_creds_get_audit_session_id3, sd_bus_creds_get_audit_login_uid3, sd_bus_creds_get_unique_name3, sd_bus_creds_get_well_known_names3
