It is annoying when we have dead links on fd.o. Add project='man-pages|die-net|archlinux' to <citerefentry>-ies. In generated html, add external links to http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man, http://linux.die.net/man/, https://www.archlinux.org/. By default, pages in sections 2 and 4 go to man7, since Michael Kerrisk is the autorative source on kernel related stuff. The rest of links goes to linux.die.net, because they have the manpages. Except for the pacman stuff, since it seems to be only available from archlinux.org. Poor gummiboot gets no link, because gummitboot(8) ain't to be found on the net. According to common wisdom, that would mean that it does not exist. But I have seen Kay using it, so I know it does, and deserves to be found. Can somebody be nice and put it up somewhere?

<title>Description</title>
|
||
|
||
<para><function>sd_bus_path_encode()</function> and
|
||
<function>sd_bus_path_decode()</function> convert external
|
||
identifier strings into object paths and back. These functions are
|
||
useful to map application-specific string identifiers of any kind
|
||
into bus object paths in a simple, reversible and safe way.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para><function>sd_bus_path_encode()</function> takes a bus path
|
||
prefix and an external identifier string as arguments, plus a
|
||
place to store the returned bus path string. The bus path prefix
|
||
must be a valid bus path, starting with a slash
|
||
<literal>/</literal>, and not ending in one. The external
|
||
identifier string may be in any format, may be the empty string,
|
||
and has no restrictions on the charset — however, it must
|
||
always be <constant>NUL</constant>-terminated. The returned string
|
||
will be the concatenation of the bus path prefix plus an escaped
|
||
version of the external identifier string. This operation may be
|
||
reversed with <function>sd_bus_decode()</function>. It is
|
||
recommended to only use external identifiers that generally
|
||
require little escaping to be turned into valid bus path
|
||
identifiers (for example, by sticking to a 7-bit ASCII character
|
||
set), in order to ensure the resulting bus path is still short and
|
||
easily processed.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para><function>sd_bus_path_decode()</function> reverses the
|
||
operation of <function>sd_bus_path_encode()</function> and thus
|
||
regenerates an external identifier string from a bus path. It
|
||
takes a bus path and a prefix string, plus a place to store the
|
||
returned external identifier string. If the bus path does not
|
||
start with the specified prefix, 0 is returned and the returned
|
||
string is set to <constant>NULL</constant>. Otherwise, the
|
||
string following the prefix is unescaped and returned in the
|
||
external identifier string.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>The escaping used will replace all characters which are
|
||
invalid in a bus object path by <literal>_</literal>, followed by a
|
||
hexadecimal value. As a special case, the empty string will be
|
||
replaced by a lone <literal>_</literal>.</para>

|

<title>Return Value</title>
|
||
|
||
<para>On success, <function>sd_bus_path_encode()</function>
|
||
returns positive or 0, and a valid bus path in the return
|
||
argument. On success, <function>sd_bus_path_decode()</function>
|
||
returns a positive value if the prefixed matched, or 0 if it
|
||
did not. If the prefix matched, the external identifier is returned
|
||
in the return parameter. If it did not match, NULL is returned in
|
||
the return parameter. On failure, a negative errno-style error
|
||
number is returned by either function. The returned strings must
|
||
be
|
||
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>'d
|
||
by the caller.</para>
