<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_bus_message_skip()</function> is somewhat similar to
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_read</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
but instead of reading the contents of the message, it only moves the "read pointer". Subsequent
read operations will read the elements that are after the elements that were skipped.</para>
<para>The <parameter>types</parameter> argument has the same meaning as in
<function>sd_bus_message_read()</function>. It may also be <constant>NULL</constant>, to skip a
single element of any type.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On success, <function>sd_bus_message_skip()</function> returns 0 or a positive integer. On
failure, it returns a negative errno-style error code.</para>
