<title > Description</title>
2022-06-13 12:17:33 +03:00
<para > <function > sd_bus_message_read_strv()</function> reads an array of string-like items from the
2021-02-05 17:22:42 +03:00
message <parameter > m</parameter> . The "read pointer" in the message must be right before an array of
strings (D-Bus type <literal > as</literal> ), object paths (D-Bus type <literal > ao</literal> ), or
signatures (D-Bus type <literal > ag</literal> ). On success, a pointer to a
2022-06-13 12:17:33 +03:00
<constant > NULL</constant> -terminated array of strings (strv) is returned in the output parameter
2021-02-05 17:22:42 +03:00
<parameter > l</parameter> . Note that ownership of this array is transferred to the caller. Hence, the
caller is responsible for freeing this array and its contents.</para>
2022-06-13 12:17:33 +03:00
<para > <function > sd_bus_message_read_strv_extend()</function> is similar, but the second parameter is an
input-output parameter. If <parameter > *l</parameter> is <constant > NULL</constant> , if behaves identically
to <function > sd_bus_message_read_strv()</function> . Otherwise, <parameter > *l</parameter> must point to a
strv, which will be reallocated and extended with additional strings. This function is particularly
useful when combining multiple lists of strings in a message or messages into a single array of strings.
