<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_bus_send()</function> queues the bus message object <parameter>m</parameter> for
|
|
transfer. If <parameter>bus</parameter> is <constant>NULL</constant>, the bus that
|
|
<parameter>m</parameter> is attached to is used. <parameter>bus</parameter> only needs to be set when the
|
|
message is sent to a different bus than the one it's attached to, for example when forwarding messages.
|
|
If the output parameter <parameter>cookie</parameter> is not <constant>NULL</constant>, it is set to the
|
|
message identifier. This value can later be used to match incoming replies to their corresponding
|
|
messages. If <parameter>cookie</parameter> is set to <constant>NULL</constant> and the message is not
|
|
sealed, <function>sd_bus_send()</function> assumes the message <parameter>m</parameter> doesn't expect a
|
|
reply and adds the necessary headers to indicate this.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that in most scenarios, <function>sd_bus_send()</function> should not be called
|
|
directly. Instead, use higher level functions such as
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_call_method</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> and
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_reply_method_return</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
which call <function>sd_bus_send()</function> internally.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_bus_send_to()</function> is a shorthand for sending a message to a specific
|
|
destination. It's main use case is to simplify sending unicast signal messages (signals that only have a
|
|
single receiver). It's behavior is similar to calling
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_set_destination</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
followed by calling <function>sd_bus_send()</function>.</para>
