sd_bus_send
Queue a D-Bus message for transfer
#include <systemd/sd-bus.h>
int sd_bus_send
sd_bus *bus
sd_bus_message *m
uint64_t *cookie
Description
sd_bus_send() queues the bus message object m
for transfer. If bus is NULL, the bus that
m is attached to is used. bus only needs to be set
when the message is sent to a different bus than the one it's attached to, for example when
forwarding messages. If the output parameter cookie is not
NULL, it is set to the message identifier. This value can later be used to
match incoming replies to their corresponding messages. If cookie is set
to NULL and the message is not sealed, sd_bus_send()
assumes the message m doesn't expect a reply and adds the necessary
headers to indicate this.
Note that in most scenarios, sd_bus_send() should not be called
directly. Instead, use higher level functions such as
sd_bus_call_method3 and
sd_bus_reply_method_return3
which call sd_bus_send() internally.
Return Value
On success, this function returns a non-negative integer. On failure, it returns a
negative errno-style error code.
Errors
Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
-EINVAL
The input parameter m is NULL.
-EOPNOTSUPP
The bus connection does not support sending file descriptors.
-ECHILD
The bus connection was allocated in a parent process and is being reused
in a child process after fork().
-ENOBUFS
The bus connection's write queue is full.
-ENOTCONN
The input parameter bus is
NULL or the bus is not connected.
-ECONNRESET
The bus connection was closed while waiting for the response.
-ENOMEM
Memory allocation failed.
