DESCRIPTION         top

       These functions return credential information from an sd_bus_creds
       object. Credential objects may be created with
       sd_bus_creds_new_from_pid(3), in which case they describe the
       credentials of the process identified by the specified PID, with
       sd_bus_get_name_creds(3), in which case they describe the credentials
       of a bus peer identified by the specified bus name, with
       sd_bus_get_owner_creds(3), in which case they describe the
       credentials of the creator of a bus, or with
       sd_bus_message_get_creds(3), in which case they describe the
       credentials of the sender of the message.
       Not all credential fields are part of every "sd_bus_creds" object.
       Use sd_bus_creds_get_mask(3) to determine the mask of fields
       available.
       sd_bus_creds_get_pid() will retrieve the PID (process identifier).
       Similarly, sd_bus_creds_get_ppid() will retrieve the parent PID. Note
       that PID 1 has no parent process, in which case -ENXIO is returned.
       sd_bus_creds_get_tid() will retrieve the TID (thread identifier).
       sd_bus_creds_get_uid() will retrieve the numeric UID (user
       identifier). Similarly, sd_bus_creds_get_euid() returns the effective
       UID, sd_bus_creds_get_suid() the saved UID and
       sd_bus_creds_get_fsuid() the file system UID.
       sd_bus_creds_get_gid() will retrieve the numeric GID (group
       identifier). Similarly, sd_bus_creds_get_egid() returns the effective
       GID, sd_bus_creds_get_sgid() the saved GID and
       sd_bus_creds_get_fsgid() the file system GID.
       sd_bus_creds_get_supplementary_gids() will retrieve the supplementary
       GIDs list.
       sd_bus_creds_get_comm() will retrieve the comm field (truncated name
       of the executable, as stored in /proc/pid/comm).
       sd_bus_creds_get_tid_comm() will retrieve the comm field of the
       thread (as stored in /proc/pid/task/tid/comm).
       sd_bus_creds_get_exe() will retrieve the path to the program
       executable (as stored in the /proc/pid/exe link, but with the "
       (deleted)" suffix removed). Note that kernel threads do not have an
       executable path, in which case -ENXIO is returned.
       sd_bus_creds_get_cmdline() will retrieve an array of command line
       arguments (as stored in /proc/pid/cmdline). Note that kernel threads
       do not have a command line, in which case -ENXIO is returned.
       sd_bus_creds_get_cgroup() will retrieve the control group path. See
       cgroups.txt[1].
       sd_bus_creds_get_unit() will retrieve the systemd unit name (in the
       system instance of systemd) that the process is a part of. See
       systemd.unit(5). For processes that are not part of a unit, returns
       -ENXIO.
       sd_bus_creds_get_user_unit() will retrieve the systemd unit name (in
       the user instance of systemd) that the process is a part of. See
       systemd.unit(5). For processes that are not part of a user unit,
       returns -ENXIO.
       sd_bus_creds_get_slice() will retrieve the systemd slice (a unit in
       the system instance of systemd) that the process is a part of. See
       systemd.slice(5). Similarly, sd_bus_creds_get_user_slice() retrieves
       the systemd slice of the process, in the user instance of systemd.
       sd_bus_creds_get_session() will retrieve the identifier of the login
       session that the process is a part of. See systemd-logind.service(8).
       For processes that are not part of a session, returns -ENXIO.
       sd_bus_creds_get_owner_uid() will retrieve the numeric UID (user
       identifier) of the user who owns the login session that the process
       is a part of. See systemd-logind.service(8). For processes that are
       not part of a session, returns -ENXIO.
       sd_bus_creds_has_effective_cap() will check whether the capability
       specified by capability was set in the effective capabilities mask. A
       positive return value means that it was set, zero means that it was
       not set, and a negative return value indicates an error. See
       capabilities(7) and the AmbientCapabilities= and
       CapabilityBoundingSet= settings in systemd.exec(5).
       sd_bus_creds_has_permitted_cap() is similar to
       sd_bus_creds_has_effective_cap(), but will check the permitted
       capabilities mask.
       sd_bus_creds_has_inheritable_cap() is similar to
       sd_bus_creds_has_effective_cap(), but will check the inheritable
       capabilities mask.
       sd_bus_creds_has_bounding_cap() is similar to
       sd_bus_creds_has_effective_cap(), but will check the bounding
       capabilities mask.
       sd_bus_creds_get_selinux_context() will retrieve the SELinux security
       context (label) of the process.
       sd_bus_creds_get_audit_session_id() will retrieve the audit session
       identifier of the process. Returns -ENXIO for processes that are not
       part of an audit session.
       sd_bus_creds_get_audit_login_uid() will retrieve the audit user login
       identifier (the identifier of the user who is "responsible" for the
       session). Returns -ENXIO for processes that are not part of an audit
       session.
       sd_bus_creds_get_tty() will retrieve the controlling TTY, without the
       prefixing "/dev/". Returns -ENXIO for processes that have no
       controlling TTY.
       sd_bus_creds_get_unique_name() will retrieve the D-Bus unique name.
       See The D-Bus specification[2].
       sd_bus_creds_get_well_known_names() will retrieve the set of D-Bus
       well-known names. See The D-Bus specification[2].
       sd_bus_creds_get_description() will retrieve a descriptive name of
       the bus connection of the peer. This name is useful to discern
       multiple bus connections by the same peer, and may be altered by the
       peer with the sd_bus_set_description(3) call.
       All functions that take a const char** parameter will store the
       answer there as an address of a NUL-terminated string. It will be
       valid as long as c remains valid, and should not be freed or modified
       by the caller.
       All functions that take a char*** parameter will store the answer
       there as an address of an array of strings. Each individual string is
       NUL-terminated, and the array is NULL-terminated as a whole. It will
       be valid as long as c remains valid, and should not be freed or
       modified by the caller.

RETURN VALUE         top

       On success, these calls return 0 or a positive integer. On failure,
       these calls return a negative errno-style error code.

ERRORS         top

       Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
       -ENODATA
           The given field is not available in the credentials object c.
       -ENXIO
           The given field is not specified for the described process or
           peer. This will be returned by sd_bus_get_unit(),
           sd_bus_get_slice(), sd_bus_get_user_unit(),
           sd_bus_get_user_slice(), sd_bus_get_session(), and
           sd_bus_get_owner_uid() if the process is not part of a systemd
           system unit, systemd user unit, systemd slice, or logind session.
           It will also be returned by sd_bus_creds_get_exe() and
           sd_bus_creds_get_cmdline() for kernel threads (since these are
           not started from an executable binary, nor have a command line),
           and by sd_bus_creds_get_audit_session_id() and
           sd_bus_creds_get_audit_login_uid() when the process is not part
           of an audit session, and sd_bus_creds_get_tty() if the process
           has no controlling TTY.
       -EINVAL
           Specified pointer parameter is NULL.
       -ENOMEM
           Memory allocation failed.

NOTES         top

       sd_bus_creds_get_pid() and the other functions described here are
       available as a shared library, which can be compiled and linked to
       with the libsystemd pkg-config(1) file.
