DESCRIPTION

       These functions set or query D-Bus properties. D-Bus properties are service fields exposed
       via the org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties interface. Under the hood, these functions call
       methods of the org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties interface and as a result their semantics
       are similar to sd_bus_call_method(3).

       sd_bus_set_property() sets a D-Bus property. If setting the property fails or an internal
       error occurs, an error is returned and an extended description of the error is optionally
       stored in ret_error if it is not NULL.  type and the arguments that follow it describe the
       new value of the property and must follow the format described in
       sd_bus_message_append(3).

       sd_bus_set_propertyv() is equivalent to sd_bus_set_property(), except that it is called
       with a "va_list" instead of a variable number of arguments.

       sd_bus_get_property() queries a D-Bus property. If retrieving the property fails or an
       internal error occurs, an error is returned and an extended description of the error is
       optionally stored in ret_error if it is not NULL. On success, the property is stored in
       reply.  type describes the property type and must follow the format described in
       sd_bus_message_append(3).

       sd_bus_get_property_trivial(), sd_bus_get_property_string() and sd_bus_get_property_strv()
       are shorthands for sd_bus_get_property() that are used to query basic, string and string
       vector properties respectively. The caller is responsible for freeing the string and
       string vector results stored in ret by sd_bus_get_property_string() and
       sd_bus_get_property_strv().

RETURN VALUE

       On success, these functions return a non-negative integer. On failure, they return a
       negative errno-style error code.

   Errors
       See the sd_bus_call_method(3) man page for a list of possible errors.

NOTES

       These APIs are implemented as a shared library, which can be compiled and linked to with
       the libsystemd pkg-config(1) file.
