Function Documentation

dbus_bool_t _dbus_close	(	int	fd,
		DBusError *	error
	)

Closes a file descriptor.

Parameters:

	fd	the file descriptor
	error	error object

Returns:

FALSE if error set

int _dbus_connect_unix_socket	(	const char *	path,
		dbus_bool_t	abstract,
		DBusError *	error
	)

Creates a socket and connects it to the UNIX domain socket at the given path.

The connection fd is returned, and is set up as nonblocking.

Uses abstract sockets instead of filesystem-linked sockets if requested (it's possible only on Linux; see "man 7 unix" on Linux). On non-Linux abstract socket usage always fails.

Parameters:

	path	the path to UNIX domain socket
	abstract	TRUE to use abstract namespace
	error	return location for error code

Returns:

connection file descriptor or -1 on error

int _dbus_listen_unix_socket	(	const char *	path,
		dbus_bool_t	abstract,
		DBusError *	error
	)

Creates a socket and binds it to the given path, then listens on the socket.

The socket is set to be nonblocking.

Uses abstract sockets instead of filesystem-linked sockets if requested (it's possible only on Linux; see "man 7 unix" on Linux). On non-Linux abstract socket usage always fails.

Parameters:

	path	the socket name
	abstract	TRUE to use abstract namespace
	error	return location for errors

Returns:

the listening file descriptor or -1 on error

dbus_bool_t _dbus_open_unix_socket	(	int *	fd,
		DBusError *	error
	)

Opens a UNIX domain socket (as in the socket() call).

Does not bind the socket.

Parameters:

	fd	return location for socket descriptor
	error	return location for an error

Returns:

FALSE if error is set

dbus_bool_t _dbus_parse_uid	(	const DBusString *	uid_str,
		dbus_uid_t *	uid
	)

Gets a UID from a UID string.

Parameters:

	uid_str	the UID in string form
	uid	UID to fill in

Returns:

TRUE if successfully filled in UID

int _dbus_read	(	int	fd,
		DBusString *	buffer,
		int	count
	)

Thin wrapper around the read() system call that appends the data it reads to the DBusString buffer.

It appends up to the given count, and returns the same value and same errno as read(). The only exception is that _dbus_read() handles EINTR for you. Also, _dbus_read() can return ENOMEM, even though regular UNIX read doesn't.

Unlike _dbus_read_socket(), _dbus_read() is not available on Windows.

Parameters:

	fd	the file descriptor to read from
	buffer	the buffer to append data to
	count	the amount of data to read

Returns:

the number of bytes read or -1

dbus_bool_t _dbus_user_info_fill	(	DBusUserInfo *	info,
		const DBusString *	username,
		DBusError *	error
	)

Gets user info for the given username.

Parameters:

	info	user info object to initialize
	username	the username
	error	error return

Returns:

TRUE on success

dbus_bool_t _dbus_user_info_fill_uid	(	DBusUserInfo *	info,

Gets user info for the given user ID.

Parameters:

	info	user info object to initialize
	uid	the user ID
	error	error return

Returns:

TRUE on success

void _dbus_user_info_free

Frees the members of info (but not info itself).

Parameters:

info

the user info struct

int _dbus_write	(	int	fd,
		const DBusString *	buffer,
		int	start,
		int	len
	)

Thin wrapper around the write() system call that writes a part of a DBusString and handles EINTR for you.

Parameters:

	fd	the file descriptor to write
	buffer	the buffer to write data from
	start	the first byte in the buffer to write
	len	the number of bytes to try to write

Returns:

the number of bytes written or -1 on error

Definition at line 340 of file dbus-sysdeps-unix.c.

References _dbus_verbose_bytes_of_string().

Referenced by _dbus_pipe_write(), _dbus_string_save_to_file(), _dbus_write_socket(), and _dbus_write_two().

int _dbus_write_two	(	int	fd,
		const DBusString *	buffer1,
		int	start1,
		int	len1,
		const DBusString *	buffer2,
		int	start2,
		int	len2
	)

Like _dbus_write() but will use writev() if possible to write both buffers in sequence.

The return value is the number of bytes written in the first buffer, plus the number written in the second. If the first buffer is written successfully and an error occurs writing the second, the number of bytes in the first is returned (i.e. the error is ignored), on systems that don't have writev. Handles EINTR for you. The second buffer may be NULL.

Parameters:

	fd	the file descriptor
	buffer1	first buffer
	start1	first byte to write in first buffer
	len1	number of bytes to write from first buffer
	buffer2	second buffer, or NULL
	start2	first byte to write in second buffer
	len2	number of bytes to write in second buffer

Returns:

total bytes written from both buffers, or -1 on error
