<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_bus_negotiate_fds()</function> controls whether
file descriptor passing shall be negotiated for the specified bus
connection. It takes a bus object and a boolean, which, when true,
enables file descriptor passing, and, when false, disables
it. Note that not all transports and servers support file
descriptor passing. In particular, networked transports generally
do not support file descriptor passing. To find out whether file
descriptor passing is available after negotiation, use
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_can_send</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
and pass <constant>SD_BUS_TYPE_UNIX_FD</constant>. Note that file
descriptor passing is always enabled for both sending and
receiving or for neither, but never only in one direction. By
default, file descriptor passing is negotiated for all
connections.</para>
<para>Note that when bus activation is used, it is highly
recommended to set the <option>AcceptFileDescriptors=</option>
setting in the <filename>.busname</filename> unit file to the same
setting as negotiated by the program ultimately activated. By
default, file descriptor passing is enabled for both.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_negotiate_timestamps()</function> controls
whether implicit sender timestamps shall be attached automatically
to all incoming messages. Takes a bus object and a boolean, which,
when true, enables timestamping, and, when false, disables it.
Use
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_get_monotonic_usec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_get_realtime_usec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_get_seqnum</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
to query the timestamps of incoming messages. If negotiation is
disabled or not supported, these calls will fail with
<constant>-ENODATA</constant>. Note that not all transports
support timestamping of messages. Specifically, timestamping is
only available on the kdbus transport, but not on dbus1. The
timestamping is applied by the kernel and cannot be manipulated by
userspace. By default, message timestamping is not negotiated for
connections.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_negotiate_creds()</function> controls
whether and which implicit sender credentials shall be attached
automatically to all incoming messages. Takes a bus object and a
boolean indicating whether to enable or disable the credential
parts encoded in the bit mask value argument. Note that not all
transports support attaching sender credentials to messages, or do
not support all types of sender credential parameters, or might
suppress them under certain circumstances for individual
messages. Specifically, implicit sender credentials on messages
are only fully supported on kdbus transports, and dbus1 only
supports <constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_UNIQUE_NAME</constant>. The sender
credentials are attached by the kernel and cannot be manipulated
by userspace, and are thus suitable for authorization
decisions. By default, only
<constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_WELL_KNOWN_NAMES</constant> and
<constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_UNIQUE_NAME</constant> are enabled. In
fact, these two credential fields are always sent along and cannot
be turned off.</para>
<para>The <function>sd_bus_negotiate_fds()</function> function may
be called only before the connection has been started with
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_start</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. Both
<function>sd_bus_negotiate_timestamp()</function> and
<function>sd_bus_negotiate_creds()</function> may also be called
after a connection has been set up. Note that, when operating on a
connection that is shared between multiple components of the same
program (for example via
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_default</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>),
it is highly recommended to only enable additional per message
metadata fields, but never disable them again, in order not to
disable functionality needed by other components.</para>

<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On success, these functions return 0 or a
positive integer. On failure, they return a negative errno-style
error code.</para>

<title>Errors</title>
<para>Returned errors may indicate the following problems:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><constant>-EPERM</constant></term>
<listitem><para>The bus connection has already been started.</para></listitem>
