The mask parameter is a combo of SD_BUS_CREDS_* flags that indicate which credential info the caller is interested in. See sd_bus_creds_new_from_pid3 for a list of possible flags. First, this message checks if the requested credentials are attached to the message itself. If not, but the message contains the pid of the sender and the caller specified the SD_BUS_CREDS_AUGMENT flag, this function tries to figure out the missing credentials via other means (starting from the pid). If the pid isn't available but the message has a sender, this function calls sd_bus_get_name_creds3 to get the requested credentials. If the message has no sender (when a direct connection is used), this function calls sd_bus_get_owner_creds3 to get the requested credentials. On success, the requested credentials are stored in creds. Ownership of the credentials object in creds is transferred to the caller and should be freed by calling sd_bus_creds_unref3. sd_bus_query_sender_privilege() checks if the message m has the requested privileges. If capability is a non-negative integer, this function checks if the message has the capability with the same value. See capabilities7 for a list of capabilities. If capability is a negative integer, this function returns whether the sender of the message runs as the same user as the receiver of the message, or if the sender of the message runs as root and the receiver of the message does not run as root. On success and if the message has the requested privileges, this function returns a positive integer. If the message does not have the requested privileges, this function returns zero. On success, these functions return a non-negative integer. On failure, they return a negative errno-style error code. Returned errors may indicate the following problems: -EINVAL The message m or an output parameter is NULL. -ENOTCONN The bus of m is not connected. -ECHILD The bus of m was created in a different process. -EPERM The message m is not sealed. systemd1, sd-bus3, sd_bus_creds_new_from_pid3, sd_bus_get_name_creds3, sd_bus_get_owner_creds3, sd_bus_creds_unref3, capabilities7
