<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_bus_process()</function> drives the connection between the client and the message bus. That is,
|
|
it handles connecting, authentication, and message processing. When invoked pending I/O work is executed, and
|
|
queued incoming messages are dispatched to registered callbacks. Each time it is invoked a single operation is
|
|
executed. It returns zero when no operations were pending and positive if a message was processed. When zero is
|
|
returned the caller should synchronously poll for I/O events before calling into
|
|
<function>sd_bus_process()</function> again. For that either user the simple, synchronous
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_wait</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> call, or hook up
|
|
the bus connection object to an external or manual event loop using
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_get_fd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_bus_process()</function> processes at most one incoming message per call. If the parameter
|
|
<parameter>ret</parameter> is not <constant>NULL</constant> and the call processed a message,
|
|
<parameter>*ret</parameter> is set to this message. The caller owns a reference to this message and should call
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> when the
|
|
message is no longer needed. If <parameter>ret</parameter> is not <constant>NULL</constant>, progress was made, but no message was
|
|
processed, <parameter>*ret</parameter> is set to <constant>NULL</constant>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If the bus object is connected to an
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-event</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> event loop (with
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_attach_event</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>), it is not
|
|
necessary to call <function>sd_bus_process()</function> directly as it is invoked automatically when
|
|
necessary.</para>
