SD_BUS_...S_VALID(3)  sd_bus_interface_name_is_valid SD_BUS_...S_VALID(3)

NAME         top

       sd_bus_interface_name_is_valid, sd_bus_service_name_is_valid,
       sd_bus_member_name_is_valid, sd_bus_object_path_is_valid - Check
       if a string is a valid bus name or object path

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <systemd/sd-bus.h>

       int sd_bus_interface_name_is_valid(const char* p);

       int sd_bus_service_name_is_valid(const char* p);

       int sd_bus_member_name_is_valid(const char* p);

       int sd_bus_object_path_is_valid(const char* p);

DESCRIPTION         top

       sd_bus_interface_name_is_valid() checks if a given string p is a
       syntactically valid bus interface name. Similarly,
       sd_bus_service_name_is_valid() checks if the argument is a valid
       bus service name, sd_bus_member_name_is_valid() checks if the
       argument is a valid bus interface member name, and
       sd_bus_object_path_is_valid() checks if the argument is a valid
       bus object path. Those functions generally check that only allowed
       characters are used and that the length of the string is within
       limits.

RETURN VALUE         top

       Those functions return 1 if the argument is a valid interface /
       service / member name or object path, and 0 if it is not. If the
       argument is NULL, an error is returned.

   Errors
       Returned errors may indicate the following problems:

       -EINVAL
           The p parameter is NULL.

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.

HISTORY         top

       sd_bus_interface_name_is_valid(), sd_bus_service_name_is_valid(),
       sd_bus_member_name_is_valid(), and sd_bus_object_path_is_valid()
       were added in version 246.
