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.
