<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<P>
<B>sd_bus_message_new()</B>
<DD>creates a new bus message object attached to the bus
<I>bus</I>
and returns it in the output parameter
<I>m</I>. This object is reference-counted, and will be destroyed when all references are gone. Initially, the caller of this function owns the sole reference to the message object. Note that the message object holds a reference to the bus object, so the bus object will not be destroyed as long as the message exists.
<P>
Note: this is a low-level call. In most cases functions like
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+sd_bus_message_new_method_call">sd_bus_message_new_method_call</A></B>(3),
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+sd_bus_message_new_method_error">sd_bus_message_new_method_error</A></B>(3),
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+sd_bus_message_new_method_return">sd_bus_message_new_method_return</A></B>(3), and
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+sd_bus_message_new_signal">sd_bus_message_new_signal</A></B>(3)
that create a message of a certain type and initialize various fields are easier to use.
<P>
The
<I>type</I>
parameter specifies the type of the message. It must be one of
<B>SD_BUS_MESSAGE_METHOD_CALL</B>
--- a method call,
<B>SD_BUS_MESSAGE_METHOD_RETURN</B>
--- a method call reply,
<B>SD_BUS_MESSAGE_METHOD_ERROR</B>
--- an error reply to a method call,
<B>SD_BUS_MESSAGE_SIGNAL</B>
--- a broadcast message with no reply.
<P>
The flag to allow interactive authorization is initialized based on the current value set in the bus object, see
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+sd_bus_set_allow_interactive_authorization">sd_bus_set_allow_interactive_authorization</A></B>(3). This may be changed using
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+sd_bus_message_set_allow_interactive_authorization">sd_bus_message_set_allow_interactive_authorization</A></B>(3).
<P>
<B>sd_bus_message_ref()</B>
increases the reference counter of
<I>m</I>
by one.
<P>
<B>sd_bus_message_unref()</B>
decreases the reference counter of
<I>m</I>
by one. Once the reference count has dropped to zero, message object is destroyed and cannot be used anymore, so further calls to
<B>sd_bus_message_ref()</B>
or
<B>sd_bus_message_unref()</B>
are illegal.
<P>
<B>sd_bus_message_unrefp()</B>
is similar to
<B>sd_bus_message_unref()</B>
but takes a pointer to a pointer to an
<B>sd_bus_message</B>
object. This call is useful in conjunction with GCC's and LLVM's
m[blue]<B>Clean-up Variable Attribute</B>m[]<FONT SIZE="-2">[1]</FONT>. See
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+sd_bus_new">sd_bus_new</A></B>(3)
for an example how to use the cleanup attribute.
<P>
<B>sd_bus_message_ref()</B>
and
<B>sd_bus_message_unref()</B>
execute no operation if the passed in bus object address is
<B>NULL</B>.
<B>sd_bus_message_unrefp()</B>
will first dereference its argument, which must not be
<B>NULL</B>, and will execute no operation if
<I>that</I>
is
<B>NULL</B>.
<P>
<B>sd_bus_message_get_bus()</B>
returns the bus object that message
<I>m</I>
is attached to.
<A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2>
<P>
On success,
<B>sd_bus_message_new()</B>
returns 0 or a positive integer. On failure, it returns a negative errno-style error code.
<P>
<B>sd_bus_message_ref()</B>
always returns the argument.
<P>
<B>sd_bus_message_unref()</B>
always returns
<B>NULL</B>.
<P>
<B>sd_bus_message_get_bus()</B>
always returns the bus object.
