<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_bus_get_name_creds()</function> queries the credentials of the bus client
identified by <parameter>name</parameter>. The <parameter>mask</parameter> parameter is a combo of
<constant index='false'>SD_BUS_CREDS_*</constant> flags that indicate which credential info the caller is
interested in. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_creds_new_from_pid</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for a list of possible flags. On success, <parameter>creds</parameter> contains a new
<structname>sd_bus_creds</structname> instance with the requested information. Ownership of this instance
belongs to the caller and it should be freed once no longer needed by calling
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_creds_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_get_owner_creds()</function> queries the credentials of the creator of the given
bus. The <parameter>mask</parameter> and <parameter>creds</parameter> parameters behave the same as in
<function>sd_bus_get_name_creds()</function>.</para>

<title>Return Value</title>
