SD_BUS_ME...SENSITIVE(3) sd_bus_message_sensitiveSD_BUS_ME...SENSITIVE(3)
sd_bus_message_sensitive - Mark a message object as containing
sensitive data
#include <systemd/sd-bus.h>
int sd_bus_message_sensitive(sd_bus_message *message);
sd_bus_message_sensitive() marks an allocated bus message as
containing sensitive data. This ensures that the message data is
carefully removed from memory (specifically, overwritten with zero
bytes) when released. It is recommended to mark all incoming and
outgoing messages like this that contain security credentials and
similar data that should be dealt with carefully. Note that it is
not possible to unmark messages like this, it is a one way
operation. If a message is already marked sensitive and then
marked sensitive a second time the message remains marked so and
no further operation is executed.
As a safety precaution all messages that are created as reply to
messages that are marked sensitive are also implicitly marked so.
On success, this functions return 0 or a positive integer. On
failure, it returns a negative errno-style error code.
Errors
Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
-EINVAL
The message parameter is NULL.
Added in version 245.
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_message_sensitive() was added in version 245.
