sd_bus_add_object_manager Add a D-Bus object manager for a D-Bus object sub-tree

    #include <elogind/sd-bus.h>

int `sd_bus_add_object_manager` sd_bus *bus sd_bus_slot **slot const char *path

## Description

`sd_bus_add_object_manager()` installs a handler for the given path that implements the `GetManagedObjects()` method of the `org.freedesktop.DBus.ObjectManager` interface. See org.freedesktop.DBus.ObjectManager for more information.

To implement the `InterfacesAdded` and `InterfacesRemoved` signals of the `org.freedesktop.DBus.ObjectManager` interface, call sd_bus_emit_interfaces_added 3 and sd_bus_emit_interfaces_removed 3 whenever interfaces are added or removed from the sub-tree, respectively.

When `sd_bus_add_object_manager()` succeeds, a slot is created internally. If the output parameter slot is `NULL`, a "floating" slot object is created, see sd_bus_slot_set_floating 3. Otherwise, a pointer to the slot object is returned. In that case, the reference to the slot object should be dropped when the object manager is not needed anymore, see sd_bus_slot_unref 3.

## Return Value

On success, `sd_bus_add_object_manager()` returns a non-negative integer. On failure, it returns a negative errno-style error code.

### Errors

Returned errors may indicate the following problems:

`-EINVAL`

  One of the required parameters is `NULL` or path is not a valid object path.

`-ENOPKG`

  The bus cannot be resolved.

`-ECHILD`

  The bus was created in a different process, library or module instance.

`-ENOMEM`

  Memory allocation failed.

## History

`sd_bus_add_object_manager()` was added in version 246.
