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. 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.
