This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together. Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to change bits that are part of our copyright header for that. hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a bit.

<title>Description</title>
|
||
|
||
<para><function>sd_bus_set_watch_bind()</function> may be used to enable or disable client-side watching of server
|
||
socket binding for a bus connection object. If the <parameter>b</parameter> is true, the feature is enabled,
|
||
otherwise disabled (which is the default). When enabled, and the selected bus address refers to an
|
||
<filename>AF_UNIX</filename> socket in the file system which does not exist while the connection attempt is made an
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>inotify</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> watch is installed on
|
||
it, waiting for the socket to appear. As soon as the socket appears the connection is made. This functionality is
|
||
useful in particular in early-boot programs that need to run before the system bus is available, but want to
|
||
connect to it the instant it may be connected to.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para><function>sd_bus_get_watch_bind()</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>Note that no timeout is applied while it is waited for the socket to appear. This means that any synchronous
|
||
remote operation (such as
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_call</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_add_match</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> or
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_request_name</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>), that is
|
||
used on a connection with this feature enabled that is not established yet might block unbounded if the socket is
|
||
never created. However, asynchronous remote operations (such as
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_send</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_add_match_async</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> or
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_request_match_async</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>) do
|
||
not block in this case, and safely enqueue the requested operations to be dispatched the instant the connection is
|
||
set up.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Use <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_is_ready</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> to
|
||
determine whether the connection is fully established, i.e. whether the peer socket has been bound, connected to
|
||
and authenticated. Use
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_set_connected_signal</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> to
|
||
be notified when the connection is fully established.</para>
