DESCRIPTION         top

       sd_bus_add_object_vtable() is used to declare attributes for the
       object path path connected to the bus connection bus under the
       interface interface. The table vtable may contain property
       declarations using SD_BUS_PROPERTY() or
       SD_BUS_WRITABLE_PROPERTY(), method declarations using
       SD_BUS_METHOD(), SD_BUS_METHOD_WITH_NAMES(),
       SD_BUS_METHOD_WITH_OFFSET(), or
       SD_BUS_METHOD_WITH_NAMES_OFFSET(), and signal declarations using
       SD_BUS_SIGNAL_WITH_NAMES() or SD_BUS_SIGNAL(), see below. The
       userdata parameter contains a pointer that will be passed to
       various callback functions. It may be specified as NULL if no
       value is necessary. An interface can have any number of vtables
       attached to it.

       sd_bus_add_fallback_vtable() is similar to
       sd_bus_add_object_vtable(), but is used to register "fallback"
       attributes. When looking for an attribute declaration, bus object
       paths registered with sd_bus_add_object_vtable() are checked
       first. If no match is found, the fallback vtables are checked for
       each prefix of the bus object path, i.e. with the last
       slash-separated components successively removed. This allows the
       vtable to be used for an arbitrary number of dynamically created
       objects.

       Parameter find is a function which is used to locate the target
       object based on the bus object path path. It must return 1 and
       set the ret_found output parameter if the object is found, return
       0 if the object was not found, and return a negative errno-style
       error code or initialize the error structure ret_error on error.
       The pointer passed in ret_found will be used as the userdata
       parameter for the callback functions (offset by the offset
       offsets as specified in the vtable entries).

       sd_bus_add_object() attaches a callback directly to the object
       path path. An object path can have any number of callbacks
       attached to it. Each callback is prepended to the list of
       callbacks which are always called in order.
       sd_bus_add_fallback() is similar to sd_bus_add_object() but
       applies to fallback paths instead.

       sd_bus_add_filter() installs a callback that is invoked for each
       incoming D-Bus message. Filters can be used to handle logic
       common to all messages received by a service (e.g. authentication
       or authorization).

       When a request is received, any associated callbacks are called
       sequentially until a callback returns a non-zero integer. Return
       zero from a callback to give other callbacks the chance to
       process the request. Callbacks are called in the following order:
       first, global callbacks installed with sd_bus_add_filter() are
       called. Second, callbacks attached directly to the request object
       path are called, followed by any D-Bus method callbacks attached
       to the request object path, interface and member. Finally, the
       property callbacks attached to the request object path, interface
       and member are called. If the final callback returns zero, an
       error reply is sent back to the caller indicating no matching
       object for the request was found.

       Note that you can return a positive integer from a method
       callback without immediately sending a reply. This informs sd-bus
       this callback will take responsibility for replying to the
       request without forcing the callback to produce a reply
       immediately. This allows a callback to perform any number of
       asynchronous operations required to construct a reply. However,
       if producing a reply takes too long, the method call will time
       out at the caller. This is only available to methods and not
       properties.

       If a callback was invoked to handle a request that expects a
       reply and the callback returns a negative value, the value is
       interpreted as a negative errno-style error code and sent back to
       the caller as a D-Bus error as if sd_bus_reply_method_errno(3)
       was called. Additionally, all callbacks take a sd_bus_error
       output parameter that can be used to provide more detailed error
       information. If ret_error is set when the callback finishes, the
       corresponding D-Bus error is sent back to the caller as if
       sd_bus_reply_method_error(3) was called. Any error stored in
       ret_error takes priority over any negative values returned by the
       same callback when determining which error to send back to the
       caller. Use sd_bus_error_set(3) or one of its variants to set
       ret_error and return a negative integer from a callback with a
       single function call. To send an error reply after a callback has
       already finished, use sd_bus_reply_method_errno(3) or one of its
       variants.

       For all functions, a match slot is created internally. If the
       output parameter slot is NULL, a "floating" slot object is
       created, see sd_bus_slot_set_floating(3). Otherwise, a pointer to
       the slot object is returned. In that case, the reference to the
       slot object should be dropped when the vtable is not needed
       anymore, see sd_bus_slot_unref(3).

   The sd_bus_vtable array
       The array consists of the structures of type sd_bus_vtable, but
       it should never be filled in manually, but through one of the
       following macros:

       SD_BUS_VTABLE_START(flags), SD_BUS_VTABLE_END
           Those must always be the first and last element. The flags
           parameter can be used to set attributes that apply to the
           whole array; see the "Flags" section below.

       SD_BUS_METHOD_WITH_ARGS_OFFSET(), SD_BUS_METHOD_WITH_ARGS()
           Declare a D-Bus method with the name member, arguments args
           and result result.  args expects a sequence of argument
           type/name pairs wrapped in the SD_BUS_ARGS() macro. The
           elements at even indices in this list describe the types of
           the method's arguments. The method's parameter signature is
           the concatenation of all the string literals at even indices
           in args. If a method has no parameters, pass SD_BUS_NO_ARGS
           to args. The elements at uneven indices describe the names of
           the method's arguments.  result expects a sequence of
           type/name pairs wrapped in the SD_BUS_RESULT() macro in the
           same format as SD_BUS_ARGS(). The method's result signature
           is the concatenation of all the string literals at even
           indices in result. If a method has no result, pass
           SD_BUS_NO_RESULT to result. Note that argument types are
           expected to be quoted string literals and argument names are
           expected to be unquoted string literals. See below for a
           complete example.

           The handler function handler must be of type
           sd_bus_message_handler_t. It will be called to handle the
           incoming messages that call this method. It receives a
           pointer that is the userdata parameter passed to the
           registration function offset by offset bytes. This may be
           used to pass pointers to different fields in the same data
           structure to different methods in the same vtable. To send a
           reply from handler, call sd_bus_reply_method_return(3) with
           the message the callback was invoked with. Parameter flags is
           a combination of flags, see below.

           SD_BUS_METHOD_WITH_ARGS() is a shorthand for calling
           SD_BUS_METHOD_WITH_ARGS_OFFSET() with an offset of zero.

       SD_BUS_METHOD_WITH_NAMES_OFFSET(), SD_BUS_METHOD_WITH_NAMES(),
       SD_BUS_METHOD_WITH_OFFSET(), SD_BUS_METHOD()
           Declare a D-Bus method with the name member, parameter
           signature signature, result signature result. Parameters
           in_names and out_names specify the argument names of the
           input and output arguments in the function signature.
           in_names and out_names should be created using the
           SD_BUS_PARAM() macro, see below. In all other regards, this
           macro behaves exactly the same as
           SD_BUS_METHOD_WITH_ARGS_OFFSET().

           SD_BUS_METHOD_WITH_NAMES(), SD_BUS_METHOD_WITH_OFFSET(), and
           SD_BUS_METHOD() are variants which specify zero offset
           (userdata parameter is passed with no change), leave the
           names unset (i.e. no parameter names), or both.

           Prefer using SD_BUS_METHOD_WITH_ARGS_OFFSET() and
           SD_BUS_METHOD_WITH_ARGS() over these macros as they allow
           specifying argument types and names next to each other which
           is less error-prone than first specifying all argument types
           followed by specifying all argument names.

       SD_BUS_SIGNAL_WITH_ARGS()
           Declare a D-Bus signal with the name member and arguments
           args.  args expects a sequence of argument type/name pairs
           wrapped in the SD_BUS_ARGS() macro. The elements at even
           indices in this list describe the types of the signal's
           arguments. The signal's parameter signature is the
           concatenation of all the string literals at even indices in
           args. If a signal has no parameters, pass SD_BUS_NO_ARGS to
           args. The elements at uneven indices describe the names of
           the signal's arguments. Parameter flags is a combination of
           flags. See below for a complete example.

       SD_BUS_SIGNAL_WITH_NAMES(), SD_BUS_SIGNAL()
           Declare a D-Bus signal with the name member, parameter
           signature signature, and argument names names.  names should
           be created using the SD_BUS_PARAM() macro, see below.
           Parameter flags is a combination of flags, see below.

           SD_BUS_SIGNAL() is equivalent to SD_BUS_SIGNAL_WITH_NAMES()
           with the names parameter unset (i.e. no parameter names).

           Prefer using SD_BUS_SIGNAL_WITH_ARGS() over these macros as
           it allows specifying argument types and names next to each
           other which is less error-prone than first specifying all
           argument types followed by specifying all argument names.

       SD_BUS_WRITABLE_PROPERTY(), SD_BUS_PROPERTY()
           Declare a D-Bus property with the name member and value
           signature signature. Parameters get and set are the getter
           and setter methods. They are called with a pointer that is
           the userdata parameter passed to the registration function
           offset by offset bytes. This may be used pass pointers to
           different fields in the same data structure to different
           setters and getters in the same vtable. Parameter flags is a
           combination of flags, see below.

           The setter and getter methods may be omitted (specified as
           NULL), if the property is one of the basic types or "as" in
           case of read-only properties. In those cases, the userdata
           and offset parameters must together point to a valid variable
           of the corresponding type. A default setter and getter will
           be provided, which simply copy the argument between this
           variable and the message.

           SD_BUS_PROPERTY() is used to define a read-only property.

       SD_BUS_PARAM()
           Parameter names should be wrapped in this macro, see the
           example below.

   Flags
       The flags parameter is used to specify a combination of D-Bus
       annotations[1].

       SD_BUS_VTABLE_DEPRECATED
           Mark this vtable entry as deprecated using the
           org.freedesktop.DBus.Deprecated annotation in introspection
           data. If specified for SD_BUS_VTABLE_START(), the annotation
           is applied to the enclosing interface.

       SD_BUS_VTABLE_HIDDEN
           Make this vtable entry hidden. It will not be shown in
           introspection data. If specified for SD_BUS_VTABLE_START(),
           all entries in the array are hidden.

       SD_BUS_VTABLE_METHOD_NO_REPLY
           Mark this vtable entry as a method that will not return a
           reply using the org.freedesktop.DBus.Method.NoReply
           annotation in introspection data.

       SD_BUS_VTABLE_PROPERTY_CONST,
       SD_BUS_VTABLE_PROPERTY_EMITS_CHANGE,
       SD_BUS_VTABLE_PROPERTY_EMITS_INVALIDATION
           Those three flags correspond to different values of the
           org.freedesktop.DBus.Property.EmitsChangedSignal annotation,
           which specifies whether the
           org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.PropertiesChanged signal is
           emitted whenever the property changes.
           SD_BUS_VTABLE_PROPERTY_CONST corresponds to const and means
           that the property never changes during the lifetime of the
           object it belongs to, so no signal needs to be emitted.
           SD_BUS_VTABLE_PROPERTY_EMITS_CHANGE corresponds to true and
           means that the signal is emitted.
           SD_BUS_VTABLE_PROPERTY_EMITS_INVALIDATION corresponds to
           invalidates and means that the signal is emitted, but the
           value is not included in the signal.

       SD_BUS_VTABLE_PROPERTY_EXPLICIT
           Mark this vtable property entry as requiring explicit request
           to for the value to be shown (generally because the value is
           large or slow to calculate). This entry cannot be combined
           with SD_BUS_VTABLE_PROPERTY_EMITS_CHANGE, and will not be
           shown in property listings by default (e.g.  busctl
           introspect). This corresponds to the
           org.freedesktop.systemd1.Explicit annotation in introspection
           data.

       SD_BUS_VTABLE_SENSITIVE
           Mark this vtable method entry as processing sensitive data.
           When set, incoming method call messages and their outgoing
           reply messages are marked as sensitive using
           sd_bus_message_sensitive(3), so that they are erased from
           memory when freed.

       SD_BUS_VTABLE_ABSOLUTE_OFFSET
           Mark this vtable method or property entry so that the user
           data pointer passed to its associated handler functions is
           determined slightly differently: instead of adding the offset
           parameter of the entry to the user data pointer specified
           during vtable registration, the offset is passed directly,
           converted to a pointer, without taking the user data pointer
           specified during vtable registration into account.

       SD_BUS_VTABLE_CAPABILITY(capability)
           Access to this vtable entry will be allowed if the calling
           process has the capability capability, as described in
           sd_bus_query_sender_privilege(3). If used for
           SD_BUS_VTABLE_START(), provides a default for all entries in
           the array. If not specified, either for an individual entry
           or the whole array, CAP_SYS_ADMIN is checked by default. See
           capabilities(7) for information about capabilities.

           Note that vtable entries may be marked as unprivileged and
           the whole bus may be marked as trusted, see the discussion of
           SD_BUS_VTABLE_UNPRIVILEGED below.

       SD_BUS_VTABLE_UNPRIVILEGED
           Mark this vtable entry as unprivileged. Access to privileged
           entries is limited to users with appropriate capabilities as
           described above. In practice many vtable entries are marked
           as unprivileged, and either are open to everyone, or the
           decision whether to allow access is taken later, e.g. by
           delegating to polkit[2].

           The whole bus may be marked as trusted, in which case
           annotations at the entry level are ignored, see
           sd_bus_set_trusted(3).

           When not specified, the org.freedesktop.systemd1.Privileged
           annotation with value "true" will be shown in introspection
           data.

           Note that this page describes checks implemented in the D-Bus
           client. The D-Bus server has an additional policy that may
           permit or deny connections, see "CONFIGURATION FILE" in
           dbus-daemon(1).

RETURN VALUE         top

       On success, sd_bus_add_object_vtable() and
       sd_bus_add_fallback_vtable() return a non-negative integer. On
       failure, they return a negative errno-style error code.

   Errors
       Returned errors may indicate the following problems:

       -EINVAL
           One of the required parameters is NULL or invalid. A reserved
           D-Bus interface was passed as the interface parameter.

       -ENOPKG
           The bus cannot be resolved.

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

       -ENOMEM
           Memory allocation failed.

       -EPROTOTYPE
           sd_bus_add_object_vtable() and sd_bus_add_fallback_vtable()
           have been both called for the same bus object path, which is
           not allowed.

       -EEXIST
           This vtable has already been registered for this interface
           and path.

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.

       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.
