    <title>Description</title>

    <para><function>sd_bus_get_name_creds()</function> queries the credentials of the bus client
    identified by <parameter>name</parameter>. The <parameter>mask</parameter> parameter is a combo of
    <constant index='false'>SD_BUS_CREDS_*</constant> flags that indicate which credential info the caller is
    interested in. See
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_creds_new_from_pid</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    for a list of possible flags. On success, <parameter>creds</parameter> contains a new
    <structname>sd_bus_creds</structname> instance with the requested information. Ownership of this instance
    belongs to the caller and it should be freed once no longer needed by calling
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_creds_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
    </para>

    <para><function>sd_bus_get_owner_creds()</function> queries the credentials of the creator of the given
    bus. The <parameter>mask</parameter> and <parameter>creds</parameter> parameters behave the same as in
    <function>sd_bus_get_name_creds()</function>.</para>

    <title>Return Value</title>

    <para>On success, these functions return a non-negative integer. On failure, they return a negative
    errno-style error code.</para>
