<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_bus_add_object_vtable()</function> is used to declare attributes for the
object path <parameter>path</parameter> connected to the bus connection
<parameter>bus</parameter> under the interface <parameter>interface</parameter>. The table
<parameter>vtable</parameter> may contain property declarations using
<constant>SD_BUS_PROPERTY()</constant> or <constant>SD_BUS_WRITABLE_PROPERTY()</constant>,
method declarations using <constant>SD_BUS_METHOD()</constant>,
<constant>SD_BUS_METHOD_WITH_NAMES()</constant>,
<constant>SD_BUS_METHOD_WITH_OFFSET()</constant>, or
<constant>SD_BUS_METHOD_WITH_NAMES_OFFSET()</constant>, and signal declarations using
<constant>SD_BUS_SIGNAL_WITH_NAMES()</constant> or <constant>SD_BUS_SIGNAL()</constant>, see
below. The <replaceable>userdata</replaceable> parameter contains a pointer that will be passed
to various callback functions. It may be specified as <constant>NULL</constant> if no value is
necessary. An interface can have any number of vtables attached to it.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_add_fallback_vtable()</function> is similar to
<function>sd_bus_add_object_vtable()</function>, but is used to register "fallback" attributes.
When looking for an attribute declaration, bus object paths registered with
<function>sd_bus_add_object_vtable()</function> are checked first. If no match is found, the
fallback vtables are checked for each prefix of the bus object path, i.e. with the last
slash-separated components successively removed. This allows the vtable to be used for an
arbitrary number of dynamically created objects.</para>
<para>Parameter <replaceable>find</replaceable> is a function which is used to locate the target
object based on the bus object path <replaceable>path</replaceable>. It must return
<constant>1</constant> and set the <parameter>ret_found</parameter> output parameter if the
object is found, return <constant>0</constant> if the object was not found, and return a
negative errno-style error code or initialize the error structure
<replaceable>ret_error</replaceable> on error. The pointer passed in
<parameter>ret_found</parameter> will be used as the <parameter>userdata</parameter> parameter
for the callback functions (offset by the <parameter>offset</parameter> offsets as specified in
the vtable entries).</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_add_object()</function> attaches a callback directly to the object path
<parameter>path</parameter>. An object path can have any number of callbacks attached to it.
Each callback is prepended to the list of callbacks which are always called in order.
<function>sd_bus_add_fallback()</function> is similar to
<function>sd_bus_add_object()</function> but applies to fallback paths instead.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_add_filter()</function> installs a callback that is invoked for each
incoming D-Bus message. Filters can be used to handle logic common to all messages received by
a service (e.g. authentication or authorization).</para>
<para>When a request is received, any associated callbacks are called sequentially until a
callback returns a non-zero integer. Return zero from a callback to give other callbacks the
chance to process the request. Callbacks are called in the following order: first, global
callbacks installed with <function>sd_bus_add_filter()</function> are called. Second, callbacks
attached directly to the request object path are called, followed by any D-Bus method callbacks
attached to the request object path, interface and member. Finally, the property callbacks
attached to the request object path, interface and member are called. If the final callback
returns zero, an error reply is sent back to the caller indicating no matching object for the
request was found.</para>
<para>Note that you can return a positive integer from a <parameter>method</parameter> callback without
immediately sending a reply. This informs sd-bus this callback will take responsibility for
replying to the request without forcing the callback to produce a reply immediately. This allows
a callback to perform any number of asynchronous operations required to construct a reply.
However, if producing a reply takes too long, the method call will time out at the caller. This is
only available to methods and not properties.</para>
<para>If a callback was invoked to handle a request that expects a reply and the callback
returns a negative value, the value is interpreted as a negative errno-style error code and sent
back to the caller as a D-Bus error as if
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_reply_method_errno</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
was called. Additionally, all callbacks take a <structname>sd_bus_error</structname> output
parameter that can be used to provide more detailed error information. If
<parameter>ret_error</parameter> is set when the callback finishes, the corresponding D-Bus
error is sent back to the caller as if
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_reply_method_error</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
was called. Any error stored in <parameter>ret_error</parameter> takes priority over any
negative values returned by the same callback when determining which error to send back to
the caller. Use
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_error_set</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
or one of its variants to set <parameter>ret_error</parameter> and return a negative integer
from a callback with a single function call. To send an error reply after a callback has already
finished, use
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_reply_method_errno</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
or one of its variants.</para>
<para>For all functions, a match slot is created internally. If the output parameter
<replaceable>slot</replaceable> is <constant>NULL</constant>, a "floating" slot object is
created, see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_slot_set_floating</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
Otherwise, a pointer to the slot object is returned. In that case, the reference to the slot
object should be dropped when the vtable is not needed anymore, see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_slot_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.

<title>The <structname>sd_bus_vtable</structname> array</title>
<para>The array consists of the structures of type <structname>sd_bus_vtable</structname>, but it
should never be filled in manually, but through one of the following macros:</para>

<term><constant>SD_BUS_VTABLE_END</constant></term>

all the string literals at even indices in <replaceable>result</replaceable>. If a method has no
result, pass <constant>SD_BUS_NO_RESULT</constant> to <replaceable>result</replaceable>. Note that
argument types are expected to be quoted string literals and argument names are expected to be

<para>The handler function <replaceable>handler</replaceable> must be of type
<function>sd_bus_message_handler_t</function>. It will be called to handle the incoming messages
that call this method. It receives a pointer that is the <replaceable>userdata</replaceable>

This may be used to pass pointers to different fields in the same data structure to different
methods in the same vtable. To send a reply from <parameter>handler</parameter>, call
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_reply_method_return</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>

users with appropriate capabilities as described above. In practice many vtable entries are marked
as unprivileged, and either are open to everyone, or the decision whether to allow access is taken
