NAME

sd_bus_message_new_signal − Create a signal message

SYNOPSIS

#include <elogind/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);

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.

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 output parameter m is NULL.

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

The bus parameter bus is NULL or the bus is not connected.

−ENOMEM

Memory allocation failed.

NOTES

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