sd_bus_query_sender_creds() returns the credentials of the message
    m. The mask parameter is a combo of
    SD_BUS_CREDS_* flags that indicate which credential info the caller is
    interested in. See
    sd_bus_creds_new_from_pid(3)
    for a list of possible flags. First, this message checks if the requested credentials are attached to the
    message itself. If not, but the message contains the pid of the sender and the caller specified the
    SD_BUS_CREDS_AUGMENT flag, this function tries to figure out
    the missing credentials via other means (starting from the pid). If the pid isn't available but the
    message has a sender, this function calls
    sd_bus_get_name_creds(3)
    to get the requested credentials. If the message has no sender (when a direct connection is used), this
    function calls
    sd_bus_get_owner_creds(3)
    to get the requested credentials. On success, the requested credentials are stored in
    creds. Ownership of the credentials object in creds is
    transferred to the caller and should be freed by calling
    sd_bus_creds_unref(3).
    
sd_bus_query_sender_privilege() checks if the message m
    has the requested privileges. If capability is a non-negative integer, this
    function checks if the message has the capability with the same value. See
    capabilities(7)
    for a list of capabilities. If capability is a negative integer, this function
    returns whether the sender of the message runs as the same user as the receiver of the message, or if the
    sender of the message runs as root and the receiver of the message does not run as root. On success and
    if the message has the requested privileges, this function returns a positive integer. If the message
    does not have the requested privileges, this function returns zero.
On success, these functions return a non-negative integer. On failure, they return a negative errno-style error code.
Functions described here are available as a shared
  library, which can be compiled against and linked to with the
  libsystemd pkg-config(1)
  file.
The code described here uses
  getenv(3),
  which is declared to be not multi-thread-safe. This means that the code calling the functions described
  here must not call
  setenv(3)
  from a parallel thread. It is recommended to only do calls to setenv()
  from an early phase of the program when no other threads have been started.
