If \fIfile\fP is \fINULL\fP a random +pathname is selected. This pathname adheres to the convention set forth +by +.BR bus (5). +.PP +If \fIfile\fP is not \fINULL\fP the +.BR bus_create () +function fails if the file already exists if \fIflags\fP contains +\fIBUS_EXCL\fP. Otherwise if \fIfile\fP is not \fINULL\fP, the +.BR bus_create () +function does nothing if the file already exists. +.PP +If \fIflags\fP contains \fIBUS_INTR\fP, the function fails if it is +interrupted. +.PP +Unless \fIout_file\fP is \fINULL\fP, the pathname of the bus should be +stored in a new char array stored in \fI*out_file\fP. The caller must +free the allocated stored in \fI*out_file\fP. +.SH RETURN VALUES +Upon successful completion, the function returns 0. Otherwise the +function return -1 with \fIerrno\fP set to indicate the error. +.SH ERRORS +.TP +.B ENOMEM +The process cannot allocate more memory. +.PP +The +.BR bus_create (3) +function may also fail and set \fIerrno\fP to any +of the errors specified for the routines +.BR open (2) +and +.BR write (2). +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR bus-create (1), +.BR bus (5), +.BR libbus (7), +.BR bus_unlink (3), +.BR bus_open (3), +.BR open (2), +.BR write (2) |
