<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<P>
<B>sd_bus_add_match()</B>
<DD>installs a match rule for messages received on the specified bus connection object
<I>bus</I>. The syntax of the match rule expression passed in
<I>match</I>
is described in the
m[blue]<B>D-Bus Specification</B>m[]<FONT SIZE="-2">[1]</FONT>. The specified handler function
<I>callback</I>
is called for eaching incoming message matching the specified expression, the
<I>userdata</I>
parameter is passed as-is to the callback function. The match is installed synchronously when connected to a bus broker, i.e. the call sends a control message requested the match to be added to the broker and waits until the broker confirms the match has been installed successfully.
<P>
<B>sd_bus_add_match_async()</B>
operates very similar to
<B>sd_bus_match_signal()</B>, however it installs the match asynchronously, in a non-blocking fashion: a request is sent to the broker, but the call does not wait for a response. The
<I>install_callback</I>
function is called when the response is later received, with the response message from the broker as parameter. If this function is specified as
<B>NULL</B>
a default implementation is used that terminates the bus connection should installing the match fail.
<P>
<B>sd_bus_match_signal()</B>
is very similar to
<B>sd_bus_add_match()</B>, but only matches signals, and instead of a match expression accepts four parameters:
<I>sender</I>
(the service name of the sender),
<I>path</I>
(the object path of the emitting object),
<I>interface</I>
(the interface the signal belongs to),
<I>member</I>
(the signal name), from which the match string is internally generated. Optionally, these parameters may be specified as
<B>NULL</B>
in which case the relevant field of incoming signals is not tested.
<P>
<B>sd_bus_match_signal_async()</B>
combines the signal matching logic of
<B>sd_bus_match_signal()</B>
with the asynchronous behaviour of
<B>sd_bus_add_match_async()</B>.
<P>
On success, and if non-<B>NULL</B>, the
<I>slot</I>
return parameter will be set to a slot object that may be used as a reference to the installed match, and may be utilized to remove it again at a later time with
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+sd_bus_slot_unref">sd_bus_slot_unref</A></B>(3). If specified as
<B>NULL</B>
the lifetime of the match is bound to the lifetime of the bus object itself, and the match is generally not removed independently. See
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+sd_bus_slot_set_floating">sd_bus_slot_set_floating</A></B>(3)
for details.
<P>
The message
<I>m</I>
passed to the callback is only borrowed, that is, the callback should not call
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+sd_bus_message_unref">sd_bus_message_unref</A></B>(3)
on it. If the callback wants to hold on to the message beyond the lifetime of the callback, it needs to call
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+sd_bus_message_ref">sd_bus_message_ref</A></B>(3)
to create a new reference.
<P>
If an error occurs during the callback invocation, the callback should return a negative error number (optionally, a more precise error may be returned in
<I>ret_error</I>, as well). If it wants other callbacks that match the same rule to be called, it should return 0. Otherwise it should return a positive integer.
<P>
If the
<I>bus</I>
refers to a direct connection (i.e. not a bus connection, as set with
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+sd_bus_set_bus_client">sd_bus_set_bus_client</A></B>(3)) the match is only installed on the client side, and the synchronous and asynchronous functions operate the same.
<A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2>
<P>
On success,
<B>sd_bus_add_match()</B>
and the other calls return 0 or a positive integer. On failure, they return a negative errno-style error code.
