43    <title>Description</title>
44
45    <para><function>sd_bus_set_fd()</function> sets the file descriptors used to communicate by a bus
46    connection object. Both <parameter>input_fd</parameter> and <parameter>output_fd</parameter> must be
47    valid file descriptors, referring to stream-based file objects (e.g. a stream socket, a pair of pipes or
48    FIFOs, or even a TTY device). <parameter>input_fd</parameter> must be readable, and
49    <parameter>output_fd</parameter> must be writable. The same file descriptor may be used (and typically is
50    used) as both the input and the output file descriptor. This function must be called before the bus
51    connection is started via
52    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_start</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
53
54    <para>The bus connection object will take possession of the passed file descriptors and will close them
55    automatically when it is freed. Use
56    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_set_close_on_exit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
57    to turn off this behaviour.</para>

64    failure, it returns a negative errno-style error code.</para>
