|
|
|
<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 zero or
|
|
more of the following flags:</para>

to acquire it with the <constant>SD_BUS_NAME_REPLACE_EXISTING</constant> flag set. If

|
|
|
<para><function>sd_bus_request_name()</function> operates in a synchronous fashion: a message requesting the name
|
|
is sent to the bus broker, and the call waits until the broker responds.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_bus_request_name_async()</function> is an asynchronous version of
|
|
<function>sd_bus_release_name()</function>. Instead of waiting for the request to complete, the request message is
|
|
enqueued. The specified <parameter>callback</parameter> will be called when the broker's response is received. If
|
|
the parameter is specified as <constant>NULL</constant> a default implementation is used instead which will
|
|
terminate the connection when the name cannot be acquired. The function returns a slot object in its
|
|
<parameter>slot</parameter> parameter — if it is passed as non-<constant>NULL</constant> — which may be used as a
|
|
reference to the name request operation. Use
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_slot_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> to destroy
|
|
this reference. Note that destroying the reference will not unregister the name, but simply ensure the specified
|
|
callback is no longer called.</para>
|
|
|
|
<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. This function operates synchronously, sending a release request message to the
|
|
bus broker and waiting for it to reply.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_bus_release_name_async()</function> is an asynchronous version of
|
|
<function>sd_bus_release_name()</function>. The specified <parameter>callback</parameter> function is called when
|
|
the name has been released successfully. If specified as <constant>NULL</constant> a generic implementation is used
|
|
that ignores the result of the operation. As above, the <parameter>slot</parameter> (if
|
|
non-<constant>NULL</constant>) is set to an object that may be used to reference the operation.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>These functions are supported only on bus connections, i.e. connections to a bus broker and not on direct
|
|
connections.</para>

<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 <constant>SD_BUS_NAME_QUEUE</constant> 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 > 0 when the name has immediately
|
|
been acquired successfully.</para>
