<para><function>sd_bus_add_fallback_vtable()</function> is similar to

looking for an attribute declaration, bus object paths registered with

<function>sd_bus_add_object_vtable()</function> 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.</para>
