sd_bus_message_seal - Prepare a D-Bus message for transmission

sd_bus_message_seal() finishes the message m and prepares it for transmission using sd_bus_send(3). cookie specifies the identifier used to match the message reply to its corresponding request. timeout_usec specifies the maximum time in microseconds to wait for a reply to arrive. Note that in most scenarios, it is not necessary to call this function directly. sd_bus_call(3), sd_bus_call_async(3) and sd_bus_send(3) will seal any given messages if they have not been sealed yet.

sd_bus_message_seal() was added in version 246.

Functions described here are available as a shared library, which can be compiled against and linked to with the libsystemdpkg-config(1) file. The code described here uses getenv(3), which is declared to be not multi-thread-safe. This means that the code calling the functions described here must not call setenv(3) from a parallel thread. It is recommended to only do calls to setenv() from an early phase of the program when no other threads have been started.

On success, this function returns a non-negative integer. On failure, it returns a negative errno-style error code. Errors Returned errors may indicate the following problems: -EINVAL The m parameter is NULL. Added in version 246. -EBADMSG The D-Bus message m has open containers. Added in version 246. -ENOMSG The D-Bus message m is a reply but its type signature does not match the return type signature of its corresponding member in the object vtable. Added in version 246.
