<para>The value of the parameter is copied into a memory area held
|
||
by the message object, stays in the possession of the caller and
|
||
may hence be freely changed after this call without affecting the
|
||
bus message it has been added to. If <parameter>type</parameter>
|
||
is <literal>h</literal> (UNIX file descriptor), the descriptor is
|
||
duplicated by this call and the passed descriptor stays in
|
||
possession of the caller.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>For types <literal>s</literal>, <literal>o</literal>, and
|
||
<literal>g</literal>, the parameter <parameter>p</parameter> is
|
||
interpreted as a pointer to a <constant>NUL</constant>-terminated
|
||
character sequence. As a special case, a <constant>NULL</constant>
|
||
pointer is interpreted as an empty string. The string should be
|
||
valid Unicode string encoded as UTF-8. In case of the two latter
|
||
types, the additional requirements for a D-Bus object path or
|
||
type signature should be satisfied. Those requirements should be
|
||
verified by the recipient of the message.
