"one callback to handle all the signal callbacks"? Not getting it?

You can register the same function as many times as you want for
different match expressions with different (and with the same, too)
user data ptr, it's up to you. What function you pass and what
userdata ptr you pass is entirely your own choice. All sd-bus ensures
is that for every matching incoming signal message your function will
be called as many times as it is registered.

i.e. if you'd use sd_bus_add_match() five times in a row with the
identical callback function ptrs and userdata ptrs then for each
matching incoming signal msg your function would be called five times,
each time with the same userdata ptr, i.e. the one you specified.
