NAME         top

       sd_bus_set_exit_on_disconnect, sd_bus_get_exit_on_disconnect -
       Control the exit behavior when the bus object disconnects

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <systemd/sd-bus.h>

       int sd_bus_set_exit_on_disconnect(sd_bus *bus, int b);

       int sd_bus_get_exit_on_disconnect(sd_bus *bus);

DESCRIPTION         top

       sd_bus_set_exit_on_disconnect() may be used to configure the exit
       behavior when the given bus object disconnects. If b is zero, no
       special logic is executed when the bus object disconnects. If b is
       non-zero, the behavior on disconnect depends on whether the bus
       object is attached to an event loop or not. If the bus object is
       attached to an event loop (see sd_bus_attach_event(3)), the event
       loop is closed when the bus object disconnects (as if calling
       sd_event_exit(3)). Otherwise, exit(3) is called. The exit code
       passed to sd_event_exit() and exit() is EXIT_FAILURE. If the bus
       object has already disconnected when enabling the exit behavior,
       the exit behavior is executed immediately. By default, the exit
       behavior is disabled.

       sd_bus_get_exit_on_disconnect() returns whether the exit on
       disconnect behavior is enabled for the given bus object.

RETURN VALUE         top

       On success, sd_bus_set_exit_on_disconnect() returns a non-negative
       integer. On failure, it returns a negative errno-style error code.

       sd_bus_get_exit_on_disconnect() returns a positive integer if the
       exit on disconnect behavior is enabled. Otherwise, it returns
       zero.

   Errors
       Returned errors may indicate the following problems:

       -EINVAL
           A required parameter was NULL.

           Added in version 246.

       -ENOPKG
           The bus object could not be resolved.

           Added in version 246.

       -ECHILD
           The bus connection was created in a different process, library
           or module instance.

           Added in version 246.

NOTES         top

       Functions described here are available as a shared library, which
       can be compiled against and linked to with the
       libsystemd pkg-config(1) file.

       All functions listed here are thread-agnostic and only a single
       thread may operate on a given object at any given time. Different
       threads may access the same object at different times. Multiple
       independent objects may be used from different threads in
       parallel.

       The code described here uses getenv(3), which is declared to be
       not multi-thread-safe. This means that the code calling the
       functions described here must not call setenv(3) from a parallel
       thread. It is recommended to only do calls to setenv() from an
       early phase of the program when no other threads have been
       started.
