<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 <code>int8_t</code> for a <literal>y</literal> in
|
|
the type string, a pointer to <code>int32_t</code> for an <literal>i</literal>, a pointer to
|
|
<code>const char*</code> for an <literal>s</literal>, ...) which are set based on the values in
|
|
the message. As an exception, in case or 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., <code>const char *</code> 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.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Each argument may also be <constant>NULL</constant>, in which case the value is read and
|
|
ignored.</para>
