sd_bus_get_name_creds, sd_bus_get_owner_creds - Query bus client credentials

  #include <systemd/sd-bus.h>

int sd_bus_get_name_creds(sd_bus **/bus/, const char */name/, uint64_t mask, sd_bus_creds **/creds/);*

int sd_bus_get_owner_creds(sd_bus **/bus/, uint64_t mask, sd_bus_creds **/creds/);*

sd_bus_get_name_creds() queries the credentials of the bus client identified by name. The mask parameter is a combo of SD_BUS_CREDS_* flags that indicate which credential info the caller is interested in. See *sd_bus_creds_new_from_pid*(3) for a list of possible flags. On success, creds contains a new sd_bus_creds instance with the requested information. Ownership of this instance belongs to the caller and it should be freed once no longer needed by calling *sd_bus_creds_unref*(3).

sd_bus_get_owner_creds() queries the credentials of the creator of the given bus. The mask and creds parameters behave the same as in sd_bus_get_name_creds().

On success, these functions return a non-negative integer. On failure, they return a negative errno-style error code.

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