sd_bus_message_set_destination() sets the destination service name
for the specified bus message object. The specified name must be a
valid unique or well-known service name.
sd_bus_message_get_destination(), sd_bus_message_get_path(),
sd_bus_message_get_interface(), and sd_bus_message_get_member()
return the destination, path, interface, and member fields from
message header. The return value will be NULL is message is NULL
or the message is of a type that does not use those fields or the
message does not have them set. See
sd_bus_message_new_method_call(3) and
sd_bus_message_set_destination(3) for more discussion of those
values.
sd_bus_message_set_sender() sets the sender service name for the
specified bus message object. The specified name must be a valid
unique or well-known service name. This function is useful only
for messages to send on direct connections as for connections to
bus brokers the broker will fill in the destination field anyway,
and the sender field set by original sender is ignored.
sd_bus_message_get_sender() returns the sender field from message.
When a string is returned, it is a pointer to internal storage,
and may not be modified or freed. It is only valid as long as the
message remains referenced and this field has not been changed by
a different call.
On success, these calls return 0 or a positive integer. On
failure, these calls return a negative errno-style error code.
Errors
Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
-EINVAL
The message parameter or the output parameter are NULL.
-EPERM
For sd_bus_message_set_destination() and
sd_bus_message_set_sender(), the message is already sealed.
-EEXIST
The message already has a destination or sender field set.
Functions described here are available as a shared library, which
can be compiled against and linked to with the
libsystemd pkg-config(1) file.
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.
sd_bus_message_set_destination() and sd_bus_message_set_sender()
were added in version 237.
sd_bus_message_get_destination(), sd_bus_message_get_path(),
sd_bus_message_get_interface(), sd_bus_message_get_member(), and
sd_bus_message_get_sender() were added in version 240.
