+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_negotiate_fds()</function> controls whether
+ file descriptor passing shall be negotiated for the specified bus
+ connection. It 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. In particular, networked transports generally
+ do not 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.
+ Use
+ <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_seqnum</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ to query the timestamps of incoming messages. If negotiation is
+ disabled or not supported, these calls will fail with
+ <constant>-ENODATA</constant>. Note that not all transports
+ support timestamping of messages. Specifically, timestamping is
+ only available on the kdbus transport, but not on dbus1. The
+ timestamping is applied by the kernel and cannot be manipulated by
+ userspace. By default, message timestamping is not negotiated for
+ connections.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_negotiate_creds()</function> controls
+ whether and which implicit sender credentials shall be attached
+ automatically to all incoming messages. Takes a bus object and a
+ boolean indicating whether to enable or disable the credential
+ parts encoded in the bit mask value argument. Note that not all
+ transports support attaching sender credentials to messages, or do
+ not support all types of sender credential parameters, or might
+ suppress them under certain circumstances for individual
+ messages. Specifically, implicit sender credentials on messages
+ are only fully supported on kdbus transports, and dbus1 only
+ supports <constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_UNIQUE_NAME</constant>. The sender
+ credentials are attached by the kernel and cannot be manipulated
+ by userspace, and are thus suitable for authorization
+ decisions. By default, only
+ <constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_WELL_KNOWN_NAMES</constant> and
+ <constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_UNIQUE_NAME</constant> are enabled. In
+ fact, these two credential fields are always sent along and cannot
+ be turned off.</para>
+
+ <para>The <function>sd_bus_negotiate_fds()</function> function may
+ be called only before the connection has been started with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_start</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. Both
+ <function>sd_bus_negotiate_timestamp()</function> and
+ <function>sd_bus_negotiate_creds()</function> may also be called
+ after a connection has been set up. Note that, when operating on a
+ connection that is shared between multiple components of the same
+ program (for example via
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_default</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>),
+ it is highly recommended to only enable additional per message
+ metadata fields, but never disable them again, in order not to
+ disable functionality needed by other components.</para>

+ <title>Return Value</title>
+
+ <para>On success, these functions return 0 or a
+ positive integer. On failure, they return a negative errno-style
+ error code.</para>

+ <title>Errors</title>
