Description¶

sd_bus_set_method_call_timeout() sets the default D-Bus method call timeout of bus to usec microseconds.

sd_bus_get_method_call_timeout() queries the default D-Bus method call timeout of bus. If no method call timeout was set using sd_bus_set_method_call_timeout(), the timeout is read from the $SYSTEMD_BUS_TIMEOUT environment variable. If this environment variable is unset or does not contain a valid timeout, the implementation falls back to a predefined method call timeout of 25 seconds. Note that $SYSTEMD_BUS_TIMEOUT is read once and cached so callers should not rely on being able to change the default method call timeout at runtime by changing the value of $SYSTEMD_BUS_TIMEOUT. Instead, call sd_bus_set_method_call_timeout() to change the default method call timeout.

Return Value¶

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

Notes¶

Functions described here are available as a shared library, which can be compiled against and linked to with the libsystemd pkg-config(1) file.

All functions listed here are thread-agnostic and only a single thread may operate on a given object at any given time. Different threads may access the same object at different times. Multiple independent objects may be used from different threads in parallel.

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.

History¶

sd_bus_set_method_call_timeout() and sd_bus_get_method_call_timeout() were added in version 246.
