sd_bus_get_fd() and related calls are useful for integrating a bus connection into arbitrary event loops. But sd_bus_set_fd() is quite a different beast, it's for using D-Bus over pre-initialized sockets or pairs of fifos or stuff, i.e. very advanced stuff. Let's split this man page in two, in order not to confuse things needlessly. And while we are at it, let's slightly extend the documentation.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_bus_set_fd()</function> sets the file descriptors used to communicate by a bus
|
|
connection object. Both <parameter>input_fd</parameter> and <parameter>output_fd</parameter> must be
|
|
valid file descriptors, referring to stream-based file objects (e.g. a stream socket, a pair of pipes or
|
|
FIFOs, or a even a TTY device). <parameter>input_fd</parameter> must be readable, and
|
|
<parameter>output_fd</parameter> must be writable. The same file descriptor may be used (and typically is
|
|
used) as both the input and the output file descriptor. This function must be called before the bus
|
|
connection is started via
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_start</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The bus connection object will take possession of the passed file descriptors and will close them
|
|
automatically when it is freed. Use
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_set_close_on_exit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
to turn off this behaviour.</para>
