    <title>Description</title>

    <para><function>sd_bus_creds_new_from_pid()</function> creates a new
    credentials object and fills it with information about the process
    <parameter>pid</parameter>. This pointer to this object will
    be stored in <parameter>ret</parameter> pointer.</para>

    <para>The information that will be stored is determined by
    <parameter>creds_mask</parameter>. It may contain a subset of ORed
    constants <constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_PID</constant>,
    <constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_PID_STARTTIME</constant>,
    <constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_TID</constant>,
    <constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_UID</constant>,
    <constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_GID</constant>,
    <constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_COMM</constant>,
    <constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_TID_COMM</constant>,
    <constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_EXE</constant>,
    <constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_CMDLINE</constant>,
    <constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_CGROUP</constant>,
    <constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_UNIT</constant>,
    <constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_USER_UNIT</constant>,
    <constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_SLICE</constant>,
    <constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_SESSION</constant>,
    <constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_OWNER_UID</constant>,
    <constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_EFFECTIVE_CAPS</constant>,
    <constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_PERMITTED_CAPS</constant>,
    <constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_INHERITABLE_CAPS</constant>,
    <constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_BOUNDING_CAPS</constant>,
    <constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_SELINUX_CONTEXT</constant>,
    <constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_AUDIT_SESSION_ID</constant>,
    <constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_AUDIT_LOGIN_UID</constant>,
    <constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_UNIQUE_NAME</constant>,
    <constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_WELL_KNOWN_NAMES</constant>,
    or <constant>_SD_BUS_CREDS_ALL</constant> to indicate
    all known fields.</para>

    <para>Fields can be retrieved from the credentials object using
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_creds_get_pid</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    and other functions which correspond directly to the constants
    listed above.</para>

    <para>A mask of fields which were actually successfully set
    (acquired from <filename>/proc</filename>, etc.) can be retrieved
    with <function>sd_bus_creds_get_mask()</function>. If the
    credentials object was created with
    <function>sd_bus_creds_new_from_pid()</function>, this will be a
    subset of fields requested in <parameter>creds_mask</parameter>.
    </para>

    <para><function>sd_bus_creds_ref</function> creates a new
    reference to the credentials object <parameter>c</parameter>. This
    object will not be destroyed until
    <function>sd_bus_creds_unref</function> has been called as many
    times plus once more. Once the reference count has dropped to zero,
    <parameter>c</parameter> cannot be used anymore, so further
    calls to <function>sd_bus_creds_ref(c)</function> or
    <function>sd_bus_creds_unref(c)</function> are illegal.</para>

    <para><function>sd_bus_creds_unref</function> destroys a reference
    to <parameter>c</parameter>.</para>
  </refsect1>

  <refsect1>
    <title>Return Value</title>

    <para>On success, <function>sd_bus_creds_new_from_pid()</function>
    returns 0 or a positive integer. On failure, it returns a negative
    errno-style error code.</para>

    <para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_mask()</function> returns the
    mask of successfully acquired fields.</para>

    <para><function>sd_bus_creds_ref</function> always returns the
    argument.</para>

    <para><function>sd_bus_creds_unref</function> always returns
    <constant>NULL</constant>.</para>
  </refsect1>

  <refsect1>
    <title>Reference ownership</title>

    <para>Function <function>sd_bus_creds_new_from_pid()</function>
    creates a new object and the caller owns the sole reference. When
    not needed anymore, this reference should be destroyed with
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_creds_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
    </para>
