<title>Description</title>
<para>The <function>sd_bus_message_dump()</function> function writes a textual representation of the
message <parameter>m</parameter> to the stream <parameter>f</parameter>. This function is intended to be
used for debugging purposes, and the output is neither stable nor designed to be machine readable.
</para>
<para>The <parameter>flags</parameter> parameter may be used to modify the output. With
<constant>SD_BUS_MESSAGE_DUMP_WITH_HEADER</constant>, a header that specifies the message type and flags
and some additional metadata is printed. When <constant>SD_BUS_MESSAGE_DUMP_SUBTREE_ONLY</constant> is
not passed, the contents of the whole message are printed. When it <emphasis>is</emphasis> passed,
only the current container in printed.</para>
<para>Note that this function moves the read pointer of the message. It may be necessary to reset the
position afterwards, for example with
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_rewind</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
