NAME

sd_bus_add_object_manager - Add a D-Bus object manager for a D-Bus object sub-tree

SYNOPSIS

  #include <systemd/sd-bus.h>

int sd_bus_add_object_manager(sd_bus **/bus/, sd_bus_slot **/slot/, const char */path/);*

DESCRIPTION

sd_bus_add_object_manager() installs a handler for the given path that implements the GetManagedObjects() method of the org.freedesktop.DBus.ObjectManager interface. See org.freedesktop.DBus.ObjectManager[1] for more information.

To implement the InterfacesAdded and InterfacesRemoved signals of the org.freedesktop.DBus.ObjectManager interface, call *sd_bus_emit_interfaces_added*(3) and *sd_bus_emit_interfaces_removed*(3) whenever interfaces are added or removed from the sub-tree, respectively.

When sd_bus_add_object_manager() succeeds, a slot is created internally. If the output parameter slot is NULL, a “floating” slot object is created, see *sd_bus_slot_set_floating*(3). Otherwise, a pointer to the slot object is returned. In that case, the reference to the slot object should be dropped when the object manager is not needed anymore, see *sd_bus_slot_unref*(3).

RETURN VALUE

On success, sd_bus_add_object_manager() returns a non-negative integer. On failure, it returns a negative errno-style error code.

Errors

Returned errors may indicate the following problems:

-EINVAL

One of the required parameters is NULL or path is not a valid object path.

-ENOPKG

The bus cannot be resolved.

-ECHILD

The bus was created in a different process.

-ENOMEM

Memory allocation failed.

NOTES

These APIs are implemented as a shared library, which can be compiled and linked to with the libsystemd *pkg-config*(1) file.
