<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_bus_request_name()</function> requests a
well-known service name on a bus. It takes a bus connection, a
valid bus name and a flags parameter. The flags parameter is a
combination of the following flags:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>SD_BUS_NAME_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT</varname></term>
<listitem><para>After acquiring the name successfully, permit
other peers to take over the name when they try to acquire it
with the <varname>SD_BUS_NAME_REPLACE_EXISTING</varname> flag
set. If <varname>SD_BUS_NAME_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT</varname> is
not set on the original request, such a request by other peers
will be denied.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>SD_BUS_NAME_REPLACE_EXISTING</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Take over the name if it is already acquired
by another peer, and that other peer has permitted takeover by
setting <varname>SD_BUS_NAME_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT</varname> while
acquiring it.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>SD_BUS_NAME_QUEUE</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Queue the acquisition of the name when the
name is already taken.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
<para><function>sd_bus_release_name()</function> releases an
acquired well-known name. It takes a bus connection and a valid
bus name as parameters.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On success, these calls return 0 or a positive integer. On
failure, these calls return a negative errno-style error
code.</para>
<para>If <varname>SD_BUS_NAME_QUEUE</varname> is specified,
<function>sd_bus_request_name()</function> will return 0 when the
name is already taken by another peer and the client has been
added to the queue for the name. In that case, the caller can
subscribe to <literal>NameOwnerChanged</literal> signals to be
notified when the name is successfully acquired.
<function>sd_bus_request_name()</function> returns &gt; 0 when the
name has immediately been acquired successfully.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Errors</title>
<para>Returned errors may indicate the following problems:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><constant>-EALREADY</constant></term>
<listitem><para>The caller already is the owner of the
specified name.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><constant>-EEXIST</constant></term>
<listitem><para>The name has already been acquired by a
different peer, and SD_BUS_NAME_REPLACE_EXISTING was not
specified or the other peer did not specify
SD_BUS_NAME_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT while acquiring the
name.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><constant>-ESRCH</constant></term>
<listitem><para>It was attempted to release a name that is
currently not registered on the bus.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><constant>-EADDRINUSE</constant></term>
<listitem><para>It was attempted to release a name that is
owned by a different peer on the bus.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><constant>-EINVAL</constant></term>
<listitem><para>A specified parameter is invalid. This is also
generated when the requested name is a special service name
reserved by the D-Bus specification, or when the operation is
requested on a connection that does not refer to a
bus.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><constant>-ENOTCONN</constant></term>
<listitem><para>The bus connection has been
disconnected.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><constant>-ECHILD</constant></term>
<listitem><para>The bus connection has been created in a
different process than the current one.</para></listitem>
