<title>Description</title>
<para>These functions return information from an
<parameter>sd_bus_creds</parameter> object. It may be created with
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_creds_new_from_pid</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
in which case it will describe the specified process, or it may be
created by
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_get_owner_creds</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
in which case it will describe the process at the other endpoint
of a connection.
</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_pid()</function> will retrieve the
PID (process identifier).</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_tid()</function> will retrieve the

</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_tid_comm()</function> will retrieve
the comm field of the thread (as stored in
<filename>/proc/<replaceable>pid</replaceable>/task/<replaceable>tid</replaceable>/comm</filename>).
</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_exe()</function> will retrieve the
path to the program (as stored in the

link, but with <literal> (deleted)</literal> suffix removed).
</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_cmdline()</function> will retrieve
an array of command line arguments (as stored in
<filename>/proc/<replaceable>pid</replaceable>/cmdline</filename>).
</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_cgroup()</function> will retrieve
the cgroup path. See <ulink
</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_unit()</function> will retrieve the
systemd unit name (in the system instance of systemd) that the
process is part of. See
</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_user_unit()</function> will
retrieve the systemd unit name (in the user instance of systemd)
that the process is part of. See
</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_slice()</function> will retrieve
the systemd slice (a unit in the system instance of systemd) that
the process is part of. See
</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_session()</function> will retrieve
the logind session that the process is part of. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-logind.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_owner_uid()</function> will retrieve
the numeric UID (user identifier) of the user who owns the slice
that the process is part of. See
<!-- and
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-user-sessions.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> -->.
</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_creds_has_effective_cap()</function> will
check whether the capability specified by
<parameter>capability</parameter> was set in the effective
capabilities mask. A positive return value means that is was
set, zero means that it was not set, and a negative return
value signifies an error. See
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>capabilities</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
and <varname>Capabilities=</varname> and
<varname>CapabilityBoundingSet=</varname> settings in
</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_creds_has_permitted_cap()</function> is
similar to <function>sd_bus_creds_has_effective_cap()</function>,
but will check the permitted capabilities mask.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_creds_has_inheritable_cap()</function> is
similar to <function>sd_bus_creds_has_effective_cap()</function>,
but will check the inheritable capabilities mask.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_creds_has_bounding_cap()</function> is
similar to <function>sd_bus_creds_has_effective_cap()</function>,
but will check the bounding capabilities mask.</para>
