NAME¶

sd_bus_message_seal - Prepare a D-Bus message for transmission

SYNOPSIS¶

#include <elogind/sd-bus.h>

int sd_bus_message_seal(sd_bus_message *m, uint64_t cookie, uint64_t timeout_usec);

DESCRIPTION¶

sd_bus_message_seal() finishes the message m and prepares it for transmission using sd_bus_send(3). cookie specifies the identifier used to match the message reply to its corresponding request. timeout_usec specifies the maximum time in microseconds to wait for a reply to arrive.

Note that in most scenarios, it's not necessary to call this function directly. sd_bus_call(3), sd_bus_call_async(3) and sd_bus_send(3) will seal any given messages if they have not been sealed yet.

RETURN VALUE¶

On success, this function returns a non-negative integer. On failure, it returns a negative errno-style error code.

NOTES¶

Functions described here are available as a shared library, which can be compiled against and linked to with the libelogind pkg-config(8) file.

HISTORY¶

sd_bus_message_seal() was added in version 246.
