These functions set or query D-Bus properties. D-Bus properties
are service fields exposed via the org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
interface. Under the hood, these functions call methods of the
org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties interface and as a result their
semantics are similar to sd_bus_call_method(3).
sd_bus_set_property() sets a D-Bus property. If setting the
property fails or an internal error occurs, an error is returned
and an extended description of the error is optionally stored in
ret_error if it is not NULL. type and the arguments that follow
it describe the new value of the property and must follow the
format described in sd_bus_message_append(3).
sd_bus_set_propertyv() is equivalent to sd_bus_set_property(),
except that it is called with a "va_list" instead of a variable
number of arguments.
sd_bus_get_property() queries a D-Bus property. If retrieving the
property fails or an internal error occurs, an error is returned
and an extended description of the error is optionally stored in
ret_error if it is not NULL. On success, the property is stored in
reply. type describes the property type and must follow the
format described in sd_bus_message_append(3).
sd_bus_get_property_trivial(), sd_bus_get_property_string() and
sd_bus_get_property_strv() are shorthands for
sd_bus_get_property() that are used to query basic, string and
string vector properties respectively. The caller is responsible
for freeing the string and string vector results stored in ret by
sd_bus_get_property_string() and sd_bus_get_property_strv().
On success, these functions return a non-negative integer. On
failure, they return a negative errno-style error code.
Errors
See the sd_bus_call_method(3) man page for a list of possible
errors.
Functions described here are available as a shared library, which
can be compiled against and linked to with the
libsystemd pkg-config(1) file.
The code described here uses getenv(3), which is declared to be
not multi-thread-safe. This means that the code calling the
functions described here must not call setenv(3) from a parallel
thread. It is recommended to only do calls to setenv() from an
early phase of the program when no other threads have been
started.
sd_bus_set_property(), sd_bus_set_propertyv(),
sd_bus_get_property(), sd_bus_get_property_trivial(),
sd_bus_get_property_string(), and sd_bus_get_property_strv() were
added in version 246.
