<title>Description</title>
|
||
|
||
<para>The <function>sd_bus_message_append_array()</function>
|
||
function appends an array to a D-Bus message
|
||
<parameter>m</parameter>. A container will be opened, the array
|
||
contents appended, and the container closed. The parameter
|
||
<parameter>type</parameter> determines how the pointer
|
||
<parameter>p</parameter> is interpreted.
|
||
<parameter>type</parameter> must be one of the "trivial" types
|
||
<literal>y</literal>, <literal>n</literal>, <literal>q</literal>,
|
||
<literal>i</literal>, <literal>u</literal>, <literal>x</literal>,
|
||
<literal>t</literal>, <literal>d</literal> (but not
|
||
<literal>b</literal>), as defined by the <ulink
|
||
url="http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html#basic-types">Basic
|
||
Types</ulink> section of the D-Bus specification, and listed in
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_append_basic</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
|
||
Pointer <parameter>p</parameter> must point to an array of size
|
||
<parameter>size</parameter> bytes containing items of the
|
||
respective type. Size <parameter>size</parameter> must be a
|
||
multiple of the size of the type <parameter>type</parameter>. As a
|
||
special case, <parameter>p</parameter> may be
|
||
<constant>NULL</constant>, if <parameter>size</parameter> is 0.
|
||
The memory pointed to by <parameter>p</parameter> is copied into
|
||
the memory area containing the message and stays in possession of
|
||
the caller. The caller may hence freely change the data after this
|
||
call without affecting the message the array was appended
|
||
to.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>The <function>sd_bus_message_append_array_memfd()</function>
|
||
function appends an array of a trivial type to message
|
||
<parameter>m</parameter>, similar to
|
||
<function>sd_bus_message_append_array()</function>. The contents
|
||
of the memory file descriptor <parameter>memfd</parameter>
|
||
starting at the specified offset and of the specified size is
|
||
used as the contents of the array. The offset and size must be a
|
||
multiple of the size of the type
|
||
<parameter>type</parameter>. However, as a special exception, if
|
||
the offset is specified as zero and the size specified as
|
||
UINT64_MAX the full memory file descriptor contents is used. The
|
||
memory file descriptor is sealed by this call if it hasn't been
|
||
sealed yet, and cannot be modified a after this call. See
|
||
<citerefentry
|
||
project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>memfd_create</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
||
for details about memory file descriptors. Appending arrays with
|
||
memory file descriptors enables efficient zero-copy data transfer,
|
||
as the memory file descriptor may be passed as-is to the
|
||
destination, without copying the memory in it to the destination
|
||
process. Not all protocol transports support passing memory file
|
||
descriptors between participants, in which case this call will
|
||
automatically fall back to copying. Also, as memory file
|
||
descriptor passing is inefficient for smaller amounts of data
|
||
copying might still be enforced even where memory file descriptor
|
||
passing is supported.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>The <function>sd_bus_message_append_array_iovec()</function>
|
||
function appends an array of a trivial type to the message
|
||
<parameter>m</parameter>, similar to
|
||
<function>sd_bus_message_append_array()</function>. Contents of
|
||
the IO vector array <parameter>iov</parameter> are used as the
|
||
contents of the array. The total size of
|
||
<parameter>iov</parameter> payload (the sum of
|
||
<structfield>iov_len</structfield> fields) must be a multiple of
|
||
the size of the type <parameter>type</parameter>. The
|
||
<parameter>iov</parameter> argument must point to
|
||
<parameter>n</parameter> IO vector structures. Each structure may
|
||
have the <structname>iov_base</structname> field set, in which
|
||
case the memory pointed to will be copied into the message, or
|
||
unset (set to zero), in which case a block of zeros of length
|
||
<structname>iov_len</structname> bytes will be inserted. The
|
||
memory pointed at by <parameter>iov</parameter> may be changed
|
||
after this call.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>The <function>sd_bus_message_append_array_space()</function>
|
||
function appends space for an array of a trivial type to message
|
||
<parameter>m</parameter>. It behaves the same as
|
||
<function>sd_bus_message_append_array()</function>, but instead of
|
||
copying items to the message, it returns a pointer to the
|
||
destination area to the caller in pointer
|
||
<parameter>p</parameter>. The caller should subsequently write the
|
||
array contents to this memory. Modifications of the memory
|
||
pointed to should only occur until the next operation on the bus
|
||
message is invoked, most importantly the memory should not be
|
||
altered anymore when another field has been added to the message
|
||
or the message has been sealed.</para>
