    <title>Description</title>

    <para>These functions return information from an
    <parameter>sd_bus_creds</parameter> credential object. Credential
    objects may be created with
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_creds_new_from_pid</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
    in which case they describe the credentials of the process
    identified by the specified PID, with
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_get_name_creds</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
    in which case they describe the credentials of a bus peer
    identified by the specified bus name, with
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_get_owner_creds</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
    in which case they describe the credentials of the creator of a
    bus, or with
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_get_creds</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
    in which case they describe the credentials of the sender of the message.</para>

    <para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_pid()</function> will retrieve
    the PID (process identifier). Similar,
    <function>sd_bus_creds_get_ppid()</function> will retrieve the

    <para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_cmdline()</function> will
    retrieve an array of command line arguments (as stored in

    </para>

    <para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_session()</function> will
    retrieve the logind session that the process is part of. See

    <para><function>sd_bus_creds_has_effective_cap()</function> will
    check whether the capability specified by
    <parameter>capability</parameter> was set in the effective
    capabilities mask. A positive return value means that is was
    set, zero means that it was not set, and a negative return
    value signifies an error. See
    <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>capabilities</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>

    call.</para>

    <para>All functions that take a <parameter>const
    char**</parameter> parameter will store the answer there as an
    address of a NUL-terminated string. It will be valid as long as
    <parameter>c</parameter> remains valid, and should not be freed or
    modified by the caller.</para>

    <para>All functions that take a <parameter>char***</parameter>
    parameter will store the answer there as an address of a an array
    of strings. Each individual string is NUL-terminated, and the
