const char *path
const char *interface
const char *member
Description
The sd_bus_message_new_signal() function creates a new bus message
object that encapsulates a D-Bus signal, and returns it in the m output
parameter. The signal will be sent to path path, on the interface
interface, member member. When this message is
sent, no reply is expected. See
sd_bus_message_new_method_call1
for a short description of the meaning of the path,
interface, and member parameters.
Return Value
This function returns 0 if the message object was successfully created, and a negative
errno-style error code otherwise.
Errors
Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
-EINVAL
The output parameter m is
NULL.
The path parameter is not a valid D-Bus path
(/an/object/path), the interface parameter is not
a valid D-Bus interface name (an.interface.name), or the
member parameter is not a valid D-Bus member
(Name).
-ENOTCONN
The bus parameter bus is NULL or
the bus is not connected.
-ENOMEM
Memory allocation failed.
Examples

This function in systemd sources is used to emit the
UnitFilesChanged signal when the unit files have been changed.
