SD_BUS_ADD_MATCH(3) sd_bus_add_match SD_BUS_ADD_MATCH(3)
sd_bus_add_match - Add a match rule for message dispatching
#include <systemd/sd-bus.h> int sd_bus_add_match(sd_bus *bus, sd_bus_slot **slot, const char *match, sd_bus_message_handler_t callback, void *userdata); typedef int (*sd_bus_message_handler_t)(sd_bus_message *m, void *userdata, sd_bus_error *ret_error);
sd_bus_add_match() installs a match rule for incoming messages received on the specified bus connection object bus. The syntax of the match rule expression passed in match is described in the D-Bus Specification[1]. The specified handler function callback is called for eaching incoming message matching the specified expression, the userdata parameter is passed as-is to the callback function. On success, and if non-NULL, the slot return parameter will be set to a slot object that may be used as a reference to the installed match, and may be utilized to remove it again at a later time with sd_bus_slot_unref(3). If specified as NULL the lifetime of the match is bound to the lifetime of the bus object itself, and the match cannot be removed independently. The message m passed to the callback is only borrowed, that is, the callback should not call sd_bus_message_unref(3) on it. If the callback wants to hold on to the message beyond the lifetime of the callback, it needs to call sd_bus_message_ref(3) to create a new reference. If an error occurs during the callback invocation, the callback should return a negative error number. If it wants other callbacks that match the same rule to be called, it should return 0. Otherwise it should return a positive integer.
On success, sd_bus_add_match() returns 0 or a positive integer. On failure, it returns a negative errno-style error code.
