<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_bus_message_read()</function> reads a sequence of fields from the D-Bus message object
|
|
<parameter>m</parameter> and advances the read position in the message. The type string
|
|
<parameter>types</parameter> describes the types of items expected in the message and the field arguments
|
|
that follow. The type string may be <constant>NULL</constant> or empty, in which case nothing is read.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The type string is composed of the elements described in
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_append</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
|
|
i.e. basic and container types. It must contain zero or more single "complete types". The type string is
|
|
<constant>NUL</constant>-terminated.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>For each type specified in the type string, one or more arguments need to be specified after the
|
|
<parameter>types</parameter> parameter, in the same order. The arguments must be pointers to appropriate
|
|
types (a pointer to <type>int8_t</type> for a <literal>y</literal> in the type string, a pointer to
|
|
<type>int32_t</type> for an <literal>i</literal>, a pointer to <type>const char*</type> for an
|
|
<literal>s</literal>, ...) which are set based on the values in the message. As an exception, in case of
|
|
array and variant types, the first argument is an "input" argument that further specifies how the message
|
|
should be read. See the table below for a complete list of allowed arguments and their types. Note that,
|
|
if the basic type is a pointer (e.g., <type>const char *</type> in the case of a string), the argument is
|
|
a pointer to a pointer, and also the pointer value that is written is only borrowed and the contents must
|
|
be copied if they are to be used after the end of the messages lifetime. If the type is
|
|
<literal>h</literal> (UNIX file descriptor), the descriptor is not duplicated by this call and the
|
|
returned descriptor remains in possession of the message object, and needs to be duplicated by the caller
|
|
in order to keep an open reference to it after the message object is freed.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Each argument may also be <constant>NULL</constant>, in which case the value is read and ignored.
