<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <function>sd_bus_message_new_method_call()</function> function creates a new bus
|
|
message object that encapsulates a D-Bus method call, and returns it in the
|
|
<parameter>m</parameter> output parameter. The call will be made on the destination
|
|
<parameter>destination</parameter>, path <parameter>path</parameter>, on the interface
|
|
<parameter>interface</parameter>, member <parameter>member</parameter>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Briefly, the <emphasis>destination</emphasis> is a dot-separated name that identifies a
|
|
service connected to the bus. The <emphasis>path</emphasis> is a slash-separated identifier of
|
|
an object within the destination that resembles a file system path. The meaning of this path is
|
|
defined by the destination. The <emphasis>interface</emphasis> is a dot-separated name that
|
|
resembles a Java interface name that identifies a group of methods and signals supported by the
|
|
object identified by path. Methods and signals are collectively called
|
|
<emphasis>members</emphasis> and are identified by a simple name composed of ASCII letters,
|
|
numbers, and underscores. See the <ulink
|
|
url="https://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-tutorial.html#concepts">D-Bus Tutorial</ulink> for an
|
|
in-depth explanation.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <parameter>destination</parameter> parameter may be <constant>NULL</constant>. The
|
|
<parameter>interface</parameter> parameter may be <constant>NULL</constant>, if the destination
|
|
has only a single member with the given name and there is no ambiguity if the interface name is
|
|
omitted.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that this is a low level interface. See
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_call_method</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for a more convenient way of calling D-Bus methods.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <function>sd_bus_message_new_method_return()</function> function creates a new bus
|
|
message object that is a reply to the method call <parameter>call</parameter> and returns it in
|
|
the <parameter>m</parameter> output parameter. The <parameter>call</parameter> parameter must be
|
|
a method call message. The sender of <parameter>call</parameter> is used as the destination.

error handling and proper memory management.</para>
