+Change whom as access to a bus with an associated \fIpathname\fP.
+In the \fIpermissions\fP, the owner, the group, and others (not
+in group) are represented by the symbols \fBu\fP, \fBg\fP, and
+\fBo\fP, respectively. The \fIpermissions\fP string is imagined
+to have always be prefixed with an \fB=\fP. This symbols means
+that all user classes list after it, and only those classes, as
+permission to use the bus. Similarly the symbols \fB+\fP and
+\fB\-\fP can be used to grant and revoke access, respectively.
+The symbols \fB=\fP, \fB+\fP, and \fB\-\fP can be maked, and are
+interpreted from left to right. Alternatively the \fIpermissions\fP
+string can be a octal number, where the owner is represented by any
+bit in 700 (100, 200, or 400, or any combination thereof), the
+group is represented by any bit in 70, and others (not in the group)
+is represented by any bit in 7.

+.TH BUS 5 BUS-%VERSION%
+.SH NAME
+bus - A simple daemonless system for broadcasting messages locally
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBbus\fP is a simple interprocess communication system for broadcasting
+messages to other processes on the same machine. \fBbus\fP does not use
+any daemon. Instead, all communication and synchronisation is managed
+using System V (XSI) semaphores and System V (XSI) shared memory.
+.PP
+The command \fBbus create\fP can be used to create new buses. By
+convention, buses should be stored in \fI$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/bus\fP, this is
+what \fBbus create\fP does if no pathname is given. The pathname of the
+bus should be tracked using \fIBUS_X\fP, where \fIX\fP is replaced with
+either:
+.TP
+.B GENERIC
+For the bus used in generic cases. That is all but the cases of the
+buses listed below.
+.TP
+.B AUDIO
+For the bus used in with the audio subsystem is involved.
+.TP
+.B VIDEO
+For the bus used in with the video subsystem is involved.
+.TP
+.B INPUT
+For the bus used in with the input subsystem is involved.
+.TP
+.B FILES
+For the bus used in with the storage subsystem is involved.
+.PP
+Messages broadcasted on a bus cannot be longer than 2047 bytes,
+excluding NULL termination. Message should be encoded in UTF-8,
+and most not contain the NULL character.
+.PP
+Broadcasted message should start with the process ID, or 0 if ephemeral,
+whence the message originated, followed by a single regular space.

+.P
+int bus_chmod(const char *\fIfile\fP, mode_t \fImode\fP);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR bus_chmod ()
+function gives access to the bus associated with \fIfile\fP
+according to the following rules:
+.TP
+*
+If (\fImode\fP &S_IRWXU) the owner should be given full access to the
+bus. Otherwise the owner should have no access.
+.TP
+*
+If (\fImode\fP &S_IRWXG) the group should be given read and write
+access to the bus. Otherwise the group should have no access.
+.TP
+*
+If (\fImode\fP &S_IRWXO) others (except the group) should be given
+read and write access to the bus. Otherwise others should have no
+access.
+.PP
+The current permissions of a bus can be retrieved by running
+.BR stat (3)
+over the \fIpathname\fP of the bus.
+.SH RETURN VALUES
+Upon successful completion, the function returns 0. Otherwise the
+function returns -1 and sets \fIerrno\fP to indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+The
+.BR bus_chown (3)
+function may fail and set \fIerrno\fP to any of the

+.P
+int bus_create(const char *\fIfile\fP, int \fIflags\fP, char **\fIout_file\fP);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR bus_create ()
+function creates a bus with the asscoiated pathname specifed by the
+value of the parameter \fIfile\fP. 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

+.SH NAME
+bus_open - Open a bus
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <bus.h>
+.P
+int bus_open(bus_t *\fIbus\fP, const char *\fIfile\fP, int \fIflags\fP);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR bus_open ()
+function acquires resources required for the process to use the bus
+associated with the filename stored in \fIfile\fP. The function also
+stores the resource \fIbus\fP for use by other
+.BR bus ()
+functions.
+.PP
+Values for \fIflags\fP are constructed by a bitwise inclusive OR of
+flags from the following list.
+.TP
+.B BUS_RDONLY
+The process will only be using the bus for receiving messages.
+.TP
+.B BUS_WRONLY
+The process will only be using the bus for sending messages.
+.TP
+.B BUS_RDWR
+The process will use the bus for both receiving and sending messages.
+.SH RETURN VALUES
+Upon successful completion the function returns 0. Otherwise the
+function returns -1 and set \fIerrno\fP to indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+.TP
+.B ENOMEM
+The process cannot allocate more memory.
+.TP
+.B EACCES
+Operation permission is denied to the calling process.
+.TP
+.B EINVAL
+The described bus does not exist.
+.PP
+The
+.BR bus_open ()
+function may also fail and set \fIerrno\fP to any of the errors
+specified for the routine
+.BR open (2).

+.TH BUS_POLL 3 BUS-%VERSION%
+.SH NAME
+bus_poll_start, bus_poll_stop, bus_poll, bus_poll_timed - Wait a message to be broadcasted
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <bus.h>
+.P
+int bus_poll_start(bus_t *\fIbus\fP);
+int bus_poll_stop(const bus_t *\fIbus\fP);
+const char *bus_poll(bus_t *\fIbus\fP, int \fIflags\fP);
+const char *bus_poll_timed(bus_t *\fIbus\fP, const struct timespec *\fItimeout\fP, clockid_t \fIclockid\fP);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR bus_poll ()
+function waits for a message to broadcasted on the \fIbus\fP, and return
+the message it receives. The function fails if (\fIflags\fP &BUS_NOWAIT)
+and there is not already a message waiting on the bus. Received messages
+shall be copied and parsed, and acted upon, in a separate thread, and
+.BR bus_poll ()
+or
+.BR bus_poll_stop ()
+called again as soon as possible.
+.PP
+The
+.BR bus_poll_start ()
+funcion must be called before
+.BR bus_poll ()
+is called for the first time. When the process is done listening on the
+bus it must call the
+.BR bus_poll_stop ()
+function.
+.PP
+The
+.BR bus_poll_timed ()
+function behaves like
+.BR bus_poll (),
+except if it is not able to read a message within the specified time,
+it will fail and set \fIerrno\fP to \fBEAGAIN\fP. The time is specified
+as an absolute time using the parameter \fItimeout\fP. The behaviour is
+unspecified if \fItimeout\fP is \fINULL\fP. \fItimeout\fP is measured
+with the clock whose ID is specified by the \fIclockid\fP parameter. This
+clock must be a predicitable clock.
+.SH RETURN VALUES
+Upon successful completion, the functions
+.BR bus_poll_start ()
+and
+.BR bus_poll_stop ()
+returns 0. Otherwise the functions returns -1 and sets \fIerrno\fP to
+indicate the error.
+.PP
+Upon successful completion, the functions
+.BR bus_poll ()
+and
+.BR bus_poll_timed ()
+returns the received message. Otherwise the function returns \fINULL\fP
+and sets \fIerrno\fP to indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+The
+.BR bus_poll (3),
+.BR bus_poll_start (3)
+and
+.BR bus_poll_stop (3)
+functions may fail and set \fIerrno\fP to any of the errors specified for
+.BR semop (3).
+The
+.BR bus_poll_timed (3)
+function may also set \fIerrno\fP to any of the errors specified for
+.BR clock_gettime (3).

+.TH BUS_READ 3 BUS-%VERSION%
+.SH NAME
+bus_read, bus_read_timed - Listen for new messages a bus
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <bus.h>
+.P
+int bus_read(const bus_t *\fIbus\fP, int (*\fIcallback\fP)(const char *\fImessage\fP, void *\fIuser_data\fP),
+ void *\fIuser_data\fP);
+int bus_read_timed(const bus_t *\fIbus\fP, int (*\fIcallback\fP)(const char *\fImessage\fP, void *\fIuser_data\fP),
+ void *\fIuser_data\fP, const struct timespec *\fItimeout\fP, clockid_t \fIclockid\fP);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR bus_read ()
+function waits for new message to be sent on the bus specified in
+\fIbus\fP, as provieded by a previous call to the
+.BR bus_open ()
+function. Once a message is received, the \fIcallback\fP function is
+invoked. The \fImessage\fP argument to the callback is the received
+message, and \fIuser_data\fP for \fIcallback\fP should be
+\fIuser_data\fP from \fIbus_read\fP. However, once \fIbus_read\fP has
+ensured that it will receive any message sent on the bus, it shall
+invoke the \fIcallback\fP function with \fImessage\fP set to \fINULL\fP,
+to notify the process that it can perform any action that requires that
+it is listening on the bus.
+.PP
+After \fIcallback\fP returns, \fImessage\fP may be override. Therefore
+\fIcallback\fP should copy \fImessage\fP and start a new thread that
+uses the copy of \fImessage\fP. \fIcallback\fP shall return -1 on
+failure, 0 if
+.BR bus_read ()
+should stop listening or 1 if
+.BR bus_read ()
+should continue listening.
+.PP
+The
+.BR bus_read_timed ()
+function behaves like
+.BR bus_read (),
+except it will automatically fail and set \fIerrno\fP to \fBEAGAIN\fP
+when the time specified specified time has passed. The time is specified
+as an absolute time using the parameter \fItimeout\fP. The behaviour is
+unspecified if \fItimeout\fP is \fINULL\fP. \fItimeout\fP is measured
+with the clock whose ID is specified by the \fIclockid\fP parameter.
+This clock must be a predicitable clock.
+.SH RETURN VALUES
+Upon successful completion, these functions returns 0. Otherwise the
+function returns -1 and sets \fIerrno\fP to indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+The
+.BR bus_read (3)
+function may fail and set \fIerrno\fP to any of the errors specified for
+.BR semop (3).
+The
+.BR bus_read_timed (3)
+function may also set \fIerrno\fP to any of the errors specified for
+.BR clock_gettime (3).

+.SH NAME
+libbus - A simple daemonless system for broadcasting messages locally
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.BR bus
+is a stupid-simple, thrilless, daemonless interprocess communication
+system for broadcasting messages.
+.SH RATIONALE
+We need an interprocess communication system similar to message queues.
+But we need broadcasting rather than anycasting, so we have a fast,
+simple and daemonless system for announcing events to any processes that
+might be interested.
+.SH FUTURE DIRECTION
+None.
