SD_BUS_ENQUEUE_FOR_READ(3)

NAME
sd_bus_enqueue_for_read - Re-enqueue a bus message on a bus connection, for reading

SYNOPSIS

#include <systemd/sd-bus.h>

int sd_bus_enqueue_for_read(sd_bus *bus, sd_bus_message *message);

DESCRIPTION

sd_bus_enqueue_for_read() may be used to re-enqueue an incoming bus message on the local read queue, so that it is processed and dispatched locally again, similar to how an incoming message from the peer is processed. Takes a bus connection object and the message to enqueue. A reference is taken of the message and the caller's reference thus remains in possession of the caller. The message is enqueued at the end of the queue, thus will be dispatched after all other already queued messages are dispatched.

This call is primarily useful for dealing with incoming method calls that may be processed only after an additional asynchronous operation completes. One example are PolicyKit authorization requests that are determined to be necessary to authorize a newly incoming method call: when the PolicyKit response is received the original method call may be re-enqueued to process it again, this time with the authorization result known.

RETURN VALUE

On success, this function return 0 or a positive integer. On failure, it returns a negative errno-style error code.

  Errors

Returned errors may indicate the following problems:

-ECHILD
    The bus connection has been created in a different process.

NOTES

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