((auth)->side)

The name of the auth ("client" or "server").

Parameters:

auth

the auth conversation

Returns:

a string

Typedef Documentation

typedef dbus_bool_t(* ) DBusAuthDataFunction(DBusAuth *auth, const DBusString *data)

This function processes a block of data received from the peer.

i.e. handles a DATA command.

Definition at line 75 of file dbus-auth.c.

typedef dbus_bool_t(* ) DBusAuthStateFunction(DBusAuth *auth, DBusAuthCommand command, const DBusString *args)

Auth state function, determines the reaction to incoming events for a particular state.

Returns whether we had enough memory to complete the operation.
