SD_BUS_MESSAGE_NEW_SIGNAL(3) | sd_bus_message_new_signal | SD_BUS_MESSAGE_NEW_SIGNAL(3) |
NAME¶
sd_bus_message_new_signal, sd_bus_message_new_signal_to - Create a signal message
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <systemd/sd-bus.h>
int sd_bus_message_new_signal(sd_bus *bus, sd_bus_message **m, const char *path, const char *interface, const char *member);
int sd_bus_message_new_signal_to(sd_bus *bus, sd_bus_message **m, const char *destination, const char *path, const char *interface, const char *member);
DESCRIPTION¶
The sd_bus_message_new_signal() function creates a new bus message object that encapsulates a D-Bus signal, and returns it in the m output parameter. The signal will be sent to path path, on the interface interface, member member. When this message is sent, no reply is expected. See sd_bus_message_new_method_call(1) for a short description of the meaning of the path, interface, and member parameters.
sd_bus_message_new_signal_to() is a shorthand for creating a new bus message to a specific destination. It's behavior is similar to calling sd_bus_message_new_signal() followed by calling sd_bus_message_set_destination(3).
RETURN VALUE¶
This function returns 0 if the message object was successfully created, and a negative errno-style error code otherwise.
Errors¶
Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
-EINVAL
The path parameter is not a valid D-Bus path ("/an/object/path"), the interface parameter is not a valid D-Bus interface name ("an.interface.name"), or the member parameter is not a valid D-Bus member ("Name").
-ENOTCONN
-ENOMEM
NOTES¶
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.
EXAMPLES¶
Example 1. Send a simple signal
/* SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT-0 */ #include <systemd/sd-bus.h> #define _cleanup_(f) __attribute__((cleanup(f))) int send_unit_files_changed(sd_bus *bus) {
_cleanup_(sd_bus_message_unrefp) sd_bus_message *message = NULL;
int r;
r = sd_bus_message_new_signal(bus, &message,
"/org/freedesktop/systemd1",
"org.freedesktop.systemd1.Manager",
"UnitFilesChanged");
if (r < 0)
return r;
return sd_bus_send(bus, message, NULL); }
This function in systemd sources is used to emit the "UnitFilesChanged" signal when the unit files have been changed.
