man: document sd_bus_track objects

And while ware at it, also drop some references to kdbus, and stop claiming
sd-bus wasn't stable yet. Also order man page references in the main sd-bus man
page alphabetically.

<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> adds a peer to track to a bus peer tracking object. The first
argument should refer to a bus peer tracking object created with
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_track_new</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>, the second
name should refer to a D-Bus peer name to track, either in unique or well-known service format. If the name is not
tracked yet it will be added to the list of names to track. If it already is being tracked and non-recursive mode
is enabled, no operation is executed by this call. If recursive mode is enabled a per-name counter is increased by
one each time this call is invoked, and <function>sd_bus_track_remove_name()</function> has to be called as many
times as <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> was invoked before in order to stop tracking of the name. Use
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_track_set_recursive</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> to
switch from the default non-recursive mode to recursive mode, or back. Note that the specified name is tracked as
it is, well-known names are not resolved to unique names by this call. Note that multiple bus peer tracking objects
may track the same name.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_track_remove_name()</function> undoes the effect of
<function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> and removes a bus peer name from the list of peers to watch. Depending
on whether non-recursive or recursive mode is enabled for the bus peer tracking object this call will either remove
the name fully from the tracking object, or will simply decrement the per-name counter by one, removing the name
only when the counter reaches zero (see above). Note that a bus peer disconnecting from the bus will implicitly
remove its names fully from the bus peer tracking object, regardless of the current per-name counter.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_track_add_sender()</function> and <function>sd_bus_track_remove_sender()</function> are
similar to <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> and <function>sd_bus_track_remove_name()</function> but
take a bus message as argument. The sender of this bus message is determined and added to/removed from the bus peer
tracking object. As messages always originate from unique names, and never from well-known names this means that
this call will effectively only add unique names to the bus peer tracking object.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_track_count()</function> returns the number of names currently being tracked by the
specified bus peer tracking object. Note that this function always returns the actual number of names tracked, and
hence if <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> has been invoked multiple times for the same name it is only
counted as one, regardless if recursive mode is used or not.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_track_count_name()</function> returns the current per-name counter for the specified
name. If non-recursive mode is used this returns either 1 or 0, depending on whether the specified name has been
added to the tracking object before, or not. If recursive mode has been enabled, values larger than 1 may be
returned too, in case <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> has been called multiple times for the same
name.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_track_count_sender()</function> is similar to
<function>sd_bus_track_count_name()</function>, but takes a bus message object and returns the per-name counter
matching the sender of the message.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_track_contains()</function> may be used to determine whether the specified name has been
added at least once to the specified bus peer tracking object.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_track_first()</function> and <function>sd_bus_track_next()</function> may be used to
enumerate all names currently being tracked by the passed bus peer tracking
object. <function>sd_bus_track_first()</function> returns the first entry in the object, and resets an internally
maintained read index. Each subsequent invocation of <function>sd_bus_track_next()</function> returns the next name
contained in the bus object. If the end is reached <constant>NULL</constant> is returned. If no names have been
added to the object yet <function>sd_bus_track_first()</function> will return <constant>NULL</constant>
immediately. The order in which names are returned is undefined; in particular which name is considered the first
returned is not defined. If recursive mode is enabled and the same name has been added multiple times to the bus
peer tracking object it is only returned once by this enumeration. If new names are added to or existing names
removed from the bus peer tracking object while it is being enumerated the enumeration ends on the next invocation
of <function>sd_bus_track_next()</function> as <constant>NULL</constant> is returned.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On success, <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> and <function>sd_bus_track_add_sender()</function>
return 0 if the specified name has already been added to the bus peer tracking object before and positive if it
hasn't. On failure, they return a negative errno-style error code.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_track_remove_name()</function> and <function>sd_bus_track_remove_sender()</function> return
positive if the specified name was previously tracked by the bus peer tracking object and has now been removed. In
non-recursive mode, 0 is returned if the specified name was not being tracked yet. In recursive mode
<constant>-EUNATCH</constant> is returned in this case. On failure, they return a negative errno-style error
code.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_track_count()</function> returns the number of names currently being tracked, or 0 on
failure.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_track_count_name()</function> and <function>sd_bus_track_count_sender()</function> return
the current per-name counter for the specified name or the sender of the specified message. Zero is returned for
names that are not being tracked yet, a positive value for names added at least once. Larger values than 1 are only
returned in recursive mode. On failure, a negative errno-style error code is returned.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_track_contains()</function> returns the passed name if it exists in the bus peer tracking
object. On failure, and if the name has not been added yet <constant>NULL</constant> is returned.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_track_first()</function> and <function>sd_bus_track_next()</function> return the first/next
name contained in the bus peer tracking object, and <constant>NULL</constant> if the end of the enumeration is

<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_bus_track_new()</function> creates a new bus peer tracking object. The object is allocated for
the specified bus, and returned in the <parameter>*ret</parameter> parameter. After use, the object should be freed
again by dropping the acquired reference with <function>sd_bus_track_unref()</function> (see below). A bus peer
tracking object may be used to keep track of peers on a specific IPC bus, for cases where peers are making use of
one or more local objects, in order to control the lifecycle of the local objects and ensure they stay around as
long as the peers needing them are around, and unreferenced (and possibly destroyed) as soon as all relevant peers
have vanished. Each bus peer tracking object may be used to track zero, one or more peers add a time. References to
specific bus peers are added via
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_track_add_name</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> or
<function>sd_bus_track_add_sender()</function>. They may be dropped again via
<function>sd_bus_track_remove_name()</function> and
<function>sd_bus_track_remove_sender()</function>. Alternatively, references on peers are removed automatically
when they disconnect from the bus. If non-NULL the <parameter>handler</parameter> may specify a function that is
invoked whenever the last reference is dropped, regardless whether the reference is dropped explicitly via
<function>sd_bus_track_remove_name()</function> or implicitly because the peer disconnected from the bus. The final
argument <parameter>userdata</parameter> may be used to attach a generic user data pointer to the object. This
pointer is passed to the handler callback when it is invoked.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_track_ref()</function> creates a new reference to a bus peer tracking object. This object
will not be destroyed until <function>sd_bus_track_unref()</function> has been called as many times plus once
more. Once the reference count has dropped to zero, the specified object cannot be used anymore, further calls to
<function>sd_bus_track_ref()</function> or <function>sd_bus_track_unref()</function> on the same object are
illegal.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_track_unref()</function> destroys a reference to a bus peer tracking object.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_track_unrefp()</function> is similar to <function>sd_bus_track_unref()</function> but takes
a pointer to a pointer to an <type>sd_bus_track</type> object. This call is useful in conjunction with GCC's and
LLVM's <ulink url="https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Variable-Attributes.html">Clean-up Variable
Attribute</ulink>. Note that this function is defined as inline function.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_track_ref()</function>, <function>sd_bus_track_unref()</function> and
<function>sd_bus_track_unrefp()</function> execute no operation if the passed in bus peer tracking object is
<constant>NULL</constant>.</para>
<para>Bus peer tracking objects may exist in two modes: by default they operate in non-recursive mode, but may
optionally be switched into recursive mode. If operating in the default non-recursive mode a peer is either tracked
or not tracked. In this mode invoking <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> multiple times in a row for the
same peer is fully equivalent to calling it just once, as the call adds the peer to the set of tracked peers if
necessary, and executes no operation if the peer is already being tracked. A single invocation of
<function>sd_bus_track_remove_name()</function> removes the reference on the peer again, regardless how many times
<function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> was called before. If operating in recursive mode, the number of times
<function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> is invoked for the same peer name is counted and
<function>sd_bus_track_remove_name()</function> must be called the same number of times before the peer is not
tracked anymore, with the exception when the tracked peer vanishes from the bus, in which case the count is
irrelevant and the tracking of the specific peer is immediately
removed. <function>sd_bus_track_get_recursive()</function> may be used to determine whether the bus peer tracking
object is operating in recursive mode. <function>sd_bus_track_set_recursive()</function> may be used to enable or
disable recursive mode. By default a bus peer tracking object operates in non-recursive mode, and
<function>sd_bus_track_get_recursive()</function> for a newly allocated object hence returns a value equal to
zero. Use <function>sd_bus_track_set_recursive()</function> to enable recursive mode, right after allocation. It
takes a boolean argument to enable or disable recursive mode. Note that tracking objects for which
<function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> was already invoked at least once (and which hence track already one
or more peers) may not be switched from recursive to non-recursive mode anymore.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_track_get_bus()</function> returns the bus object the bus peer tracking object belongs
to. It returns the bus object initially passed to <function>sd_bus_track_new()</function> when the object was
allocated.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_track_get_userdata()</function> returns the generic user data pointer set on the bus peer
tracking object at the time of creation using <function>sd_bus_track_new()</function> or at a later time, using
<function>sd_bus_track_set_userdata()</function>.</para>

<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On success, <function>sd_bus_track_new()</function> and <function>sd_bus_track_set_recursive()</function>
return 0 or a positive integer. On failure, they return a negative errno-style error code.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_track_ref()</function> always returns the argument.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_track_unref()</function> always returns <constant>NULL</constant>.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_track_get_recursive()</function> returns 0 if non-recursive mode is selected (default), and
greater than 0 if recursive mode is selected. On failure a negative errno-style error code is returned.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_track_get_bus()</function> returns the bus object associated to the bus peer tracking
object.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_track_get_userdata()</function> returns the generic user data pointer associated with the
bus peer tracking object. <function>sd_bus_track_set_userdata()</function> returns the previous user data pointer
set.</para>

<title>Reference ownership</title>
<para>The <function>sd_bus_track_new()</function> function creates a new object and the caller owns the sole
reference. When not needed anymore, this reference should be destroyed with
<function>sd_bus_track_unref()</function>.
