<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_bus_negotiate_fds()</function> controls whether
file descriptor passing shall be negotiated for the specified bus
connection. It takes a bus object and a boolean, which, when true,
enables file descriptor passing, and, when false, disables
it. Note that not all transports and servers support file
descriptor passing. In particular, networked transports generally
do not support file descriptor passing. To find out whether file
descriptor passing is available after negotiation, use
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_can_send</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
and pass <constant>SD_BUS_TYPE_UNIX_FD</constant>. Note that file
descriptor passing is always enabled for both sending and
receiving or for neither, but never only in one direction. By
default, file descriptor passing is negotiated for all
connections.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_negotiate_timestamp()</function> controls whether implicit sender
timestamps shall be attached automatically to all incoming messages. Takes a bus object and a
boolean, which, when true, enables timestamping, and, when false, disables it. Use
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_get_monotonic_usec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_get_realtime_usec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_get_seqnum</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
to query the timestamps of incoming messages. If negotiation is disabled or not supported, these
calls will fail with <constant>-ENODATA</constant>. Note that currently no transports support
timestamping of messages. By default, message timestamping is not negotiated for
connections.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_negotiate_creds()</function> controls whether and which implicit sender
credentials shall be attached automatically to all incoming messages. Takes a bus object and a
boolean indicating whether to enable or disable the credential parts encoded in the bit mask
value argument. Note that not all transports support attaching sender credentials to messages,
or do not support all types of sender credential parameters, or might suppress them under
certain circumstances for individual messages. Specifically, dbus1 only supports
<constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_UNIQUE_NAME</constant>. The sender credentials are suitable for
authorization decisions. By default, only <constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_WELL_KNOWN_NAMES</constant> and
<constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_UNIQUE_NAME</constant> are enabled. In fact, these two credential fields
are always sent along and cannot be turned off.</para>
<para>The <function>sd_bus_negotiate_fds()</function> function may
be called only before the connection has been started with
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_start</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. Both
<function>sd_bus_negotiate_timestamp()</function> and
<function>sd_bus_negotiate_creds()</function> may also be called
after a connection has been set up. Note that, when operating on a
connection that is shared between multiple components of the same
program (for example via
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_default</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>),
it is highly recommended to only enable additional per message
metadata fields, but never disable them again, in order not to
disable functionality needed by other components.</para>

<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On success, these functions return 0 or a
positive integer. On failure, they return a negative errno-style
error code.</para>

<title>Errors</title>
<para>Returned errors may indicate the following problems:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><constant>-EPERM</constant></term>
<listitem><para>The bus connection has already been started.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>

<title>Notes</title>
<para><function>sd_bus_negotiate_fds()</function> and the other
functions described here are available as a shared library, which
can be compiled and linked to with the
<constant>libsystemd</constant> <citerefentry project='die-net'><refentrytitle>pkg-config</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
file.</para>
