+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_negotiate_fds()</function> controls whether
+ file descriptor passing shall be negotiated for the specified bus
+ connection. Takes a bus object and a boolean, which when true
+ enables file descriptor passing, and when false disables it. Note
+ that not all transports and servers support file descriptor
+ passing. To find out whether file descriptor passing is available
+ after negotiation use
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_can_send</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ and pass <constant>SD_BUS_TYPE_UNIX_FD</constant>. Note that file
+ descriptor passing is always enabled for both sending and
+ receiving or for neither, but never only in one direction. By
+ default file descriptor passing is negotiated for all
+ connections.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that when bus activation is used it is highly
+ recommended to set the <option>AcceptFileDescriptors=</option>
+ setting in the <filename>.busname</filename> unit file to the same
+ setting as negotiated by the program ultimately activated. By
+ default file descriptor passing is enabled for both.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_negotiate_timestamps()</function> controls
+ whether implicit sender timestamps shall be attached automatically
+ to all incoming messages. Takes a bus object and a boolean, which
+ when true enables timestamping, and when false disables it. If
+ this is disabled,
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_get_monotonic_usec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_get_realtime_usec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_get_seqno</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ fail with <constant>-ENODATA</constant> on incoming messages. Note
+ that not all transports support timestamping of messages. On local
+ transports the timestamping is applied by the kernel and cannot be
+ manipulated by userspace.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_negotiate_creds()</function> controls
+ whether implicit sender credentials shall be attached
+ automatically to all incoming messages. Takes a bus object and a
+ bit mask value, which controls which credential parameters are
+ attached. If this is not used,
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_get_creds</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ fails with <constant>-ENODATA</constant> on incoming
+ messages. Note that not all transports support attaching sender
+ credentials to messages, or do not support all types of sender
+ credential parameters. On local transports the sender credentials
+ are attached by the kernel and cannot be manipulated by
+ userspace. By default no sender credentials are attached.</para>
+
+ <para>These functions may be called only before the connection has
+ been started with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_start</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Return Value</title>
+
+ <para>On success, these functions returns 0 or a
+ positive integer. On failure, it returns a negative errno-style
+ error code.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Errors</title>
+
+ <para>Returned errors may indicate the following problems:</para>
+
+ <variablelist>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><varname>-EPERM</varname></term>
+
+ <listitem><para>The bus connection has already been started.</para></listitem>

+ <title>Notes</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_negotiate_fs()</function> and the other
+ functions described here are available as a shared library, which
+ can be compiled and linked to with the
+ <constant>libsystemd</constant> <citerefentry><refentrytitle>pkg-config</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
