[systemd-devel] How to make vtable entry as SD_BUS_VTABLE_UNPRIVILEGED

[Lal, Arun]

Hi Lennart,

Thanks for the reply 😊 

I had seen SD_BUS_METHOD function. But my doubt was bit different. 

check_access function get the variable v as shown below 

/* Then, look for a known method */
        vtable_key.path = (char*) p;
        vtable_key.interface = m->interface;
        vtable_key.member = m->member;

v = hashmap_get(bus->vtable_methods, &vtable_key);

But SD_BUS_METHOD does not show how to add a path and interface, it just takes member. That got me bit confused. 
As in how to mention path and interface while making the vtable entry. 

Another question I had is what is the clean way of adding vtable entry in code. 
As in, as maintainer do you have a recommendation on how I do this?

Right now I am thinking of adding a new file and making it part of systemd which will have a function which will make the vtable entry. 
And call this function somewhere from boot of systemd. Your comments here will be helpful. 

Regards,
Arun Lal K M

There are roughly a bazillion examples in the systemd source tree for that. For example here:
