This adds a new pair of API calls sd_bus_set_close_on_exit() and sd_bus_get_close_on_exit(). They control whether an sd_bus object attached to a an sd-event loop shall automatically be flushed/closed when the event loop goes down. Usually that's a good thing, except for very few cases where the bus connection is longer living than the event loop it is attached on. Specifically, this is the case for nspawn, where we run the event loop only while the container is up, but afterwards still want to be able to use the bus connection.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_bus_set_close_on_exit()</function> may be used to enable or disable whether the bus connection
|
|
is automatically flushed (as in
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_flush</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>) and closed (as in
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_close</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>) during the exit
|
|
phase of the event loop. This logic only applies to bus connections that are attached to an
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-event</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> event loop, see
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_attach_event</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. By default
|
|
this mechanism is enabled and makes sure that any pending messages that have not been written to the bus connection
|
|
are written out when the event loop is shutting down. In some cases this behaviour is not desirable, for example
|
|
when the bus connection shall remain usable until after the event loop exited. If <parameter>b</parameter> is
|
|
true, the feature is enabled (which is the default), otherwise disabled.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_bus_get_close_on_exit()</function> may be used to query the current setting of this feature. It
|
|
returns zero when the feature is disabled, and positive if enabled.</para>

<para><function>sd_bus_get_close_on_exit()</function> returns 0 if the feature is currently turned off or a
