man: document unprivileged is not for reading properties
Document the fact that read-only properties may not have the flag
SD_BUS_VTABLE_UNPRIVILEGED as that is not obvious especially given the
flag is accepted for writable properties.
Based on the check in `add_object_vtable_internal` called by
`sd_bus_add_object_vtable` (as of the current tip of the main branch
f7f5ba0):
case _SD_BUS_VTABLE_PROPERTY: {
[...]
if ([...] ||
[...]
(v->flags & SD_BUS_VTABLE_UNPRIVILEGED && v->type == _SD_BUS_VTABLE_PROPERTY)) {
r = -EINVAL;
goto fail;
}
(where `_SD_BUS_VTABLE_PROPERTY` means read-only property whereas
`_SD_BUS_VTABLE_WRITABLE_PROPERTY` maps to writable property).
This was implemented in the commit
adacb95 ("bus: introduce "trusted" bus
concept and encode access control in object vtables") where
`SD_BUS_VTABLE_UNPRIVILEGED` was introduced:
Writable properties are also subject to SD_BUS_VTABLE_UNPRIVILEGED
and SD_BUS_VTABLE_CAPABILITY() for controlling write access to them.
Note however that read access is unrestricted, as PropertiesChanged
messages might send out the values anyway as an unrestricted
broadcast.
