+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_creds_new_from_pid()</function> creates a

+
+ <para>The information that will be stored is determined by

+ <constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_DESCRIPTION</constant>. Use the special
+ value <constant>_SD_BUS_CREDS_ALL</constant> to request all
+ supported fields. The <constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_AUGMENT</constant>
+ constant may not be ORed into the mask for invocations of
+ <function>sd_bus_creds_new_from_pid()</function>.</para>
+
+ <para>Fields can be retrieved from the credentials object using
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_creds_get_pid</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ and other functions which correspond directly to the constants
+ listed above.</para>
+
+ <para>A mask of fields which were actually successfully retrieved
+ can be retrieved with
+ <function>sd_bus_creds_get_mask()</function>. If the credentials
+ object was created with
+ <function>sd_bus_creds_new_from_pid()</function>, this will be a
+ subset of fields requested in <parameter>creds_mask</parameter>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>Similar to <function>sd_bus_creds_get_mask()</function>, the
+ function <function>sd_bus_creds_get_augmented_mask()</function>
+ returns a bitmask of field constants. The mask indicates which
+ credential fields have been retrieved in a non-atomic fashion. For
+ credential objects created via
+ <function>sd_bus_creds_new_from_pid()</function>, this mask will be
+ identical to the mask returned by
+ <function>sd_bus_creds_get_mask()</function>. However, for
+ credential objects retrieved via
+ <function>sd_bus_get_name_creds()</function>, this mask will be set
+ for the credential fields that could not be determined atomically
+ at peer connection time, and which were later added by reading
+ augmenting credential data from
+ <filename>/proc/</filename>. Similarly, for credential objects
+ retrieved via <function>sd_bus_get_owner_creds()</function>, the
+ mask is set for the fields that could not be determined atomically
+ at bus creation time, but have been augmented. Similarly, for
+ credential objects retrieved via
+ <function>sd_bus_message_get_creds()</function>, the mask is set
+ for the fields that could not be determined atomically at message
+ sending time, but have been augmented. The mask returned by
+ <function>sd_bus_creds_get_augmented_mask()</function> is always a
+ subset of (or identical to) the mask returned by
+ <function>sd_bus_creds_get_mask()</function> for the same
+ object. The latter call hence returns all credential fields
+ available in the credential object, the former then marks the
+ subset of those that have been augmented. Note that augmented
+ fields are unsuitable for authorization decisions, as they may be
+ retrieved at different times, thus being subject to races. Hence,
+ augmented fields should be used exclusively for informational
+ purposes.
+ </para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_creds_ref()</function> creates a new
+ reference to the credentials object <parameter>c</parameter>. This
+ object will not be destroyed until
+ <function>sd_bus_creds_unref()</function> has been called as many
+ times plus once more. Once the reference count has dropped to zero,
+ <parameter>c</parameter> cannot be used anymore, so further
+ calls to <function>sd_bus_creds_ref(c)</function> or
+ <function>sd_bus_creds_unref(c)</function> are illegal.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_creds_unref()</function> destroys a reference
+ to <parameter>c</parameter>.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_creds_unrefp()</function> is similar to
+ <function>sd_bus_creds_unref()</function> but takes a pointer to a
+ pointer to an <type>sd_bus_creds</type> object. This call is useful in
+ conjunction with GCC's and LLVM's <ulink
