</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

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.

</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

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.

</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

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.slice</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.

</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 UID (user identifier) of the user who owns the slice

that the process is part of. See

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.slice</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>

<!-- 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 were

set, zero means that it was not set, and a negative return

value signifies an error. See

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>capabilities</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>

and <varname>Capabilities=</varname> and

<varname>CapabilityBoundingSet=</varname> settings in

address of a NUL-terminated string. It will be valid as long as

<parameter>c</parameter> remains valid, and should not be freed or

modified by the caller.</para>

<para>All functions that take a <parameter>char***</parameter>

parameter will store the answer there as an address of a an array
