<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_bus_add_node_enumerator()</function> adds a D-Bus node enumerator for the
given path prefix. The given callback is called to enumerate all the available objects with
the given path prefix when required (e.g. when
<constant>org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable.Introspect</constant> or
<constant>org.freedesktop.DBus.ObjectManager.GetManagedObjects</constant> are called on a
D-Bus service managed by sd-bus).</para>
<para><parameter>callback</parameter> is called with the path and userdata pointer registered
with <function>sd_bus_add_node_enumerator()</function>. When called, it should store all the
child object paths of the given path prefix in <parameter>ret_nodes</parameter> with a NULL
terminator item. The callback should return a non-negative value on success.
If an error occurs, it can either return a
negative integer, set <parameter>ret_error</parameter> to a non-empty error or do both. Any
errors returned by the callback are encoded as D-Bus errors and sent back to the caller. Errors
in <parameter>ret_error</parameter> take priority over negative return values.</para>
<para>Note that a node enumerator callback will only ever be called for a single path prefix
and hence, for normal operation, <parameter>prefix</parameter> can be ignored. Also, a node
enumerator is only used to enumerate the available child objects under a given prefix. To
install a handler for a set of dynamic child objects, use
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_add_fallback_vtable</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
</para>
<para>When <function>sd_bus_add_node_enumerator()</function> succeeds, a slot is created
internally. If the output parameter <replaceable>slot</replaceable> is <constant>NULL</constant>,
a "floating" slot object is created, see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_slot_set_floating</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
Otherwise, a pointer to the slot object is returned. In that case, the reference to the slot
object should be dropped when the node enumerator is not needed anymore, see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_slot_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.

<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On success, <function>sd_bus_add_node_enumerator()</function> returns a non-negative
integer. On failure, it returns a negative errno-style error code.</para>
