<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
<function>sd_bus_message_read_basic()</function> reads a basic type from a
|
|
message and advances the read position in the message. The set of basic
|
|
types and their ascii codes passed in <parameter>type</parameter> are
|
|
described in the <ulink
|
|
url="https://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html">D-Bus
|
|
Specification</ulink>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
If <parameter>p</parameter> is not <constant>NULL</constant>, it should contain a pointer to an
|
|
appropriate object. For example, if <parameter>type</parameter> is <constant>'y'</constant>, the object
|
|
passed in <parameter>p</parameter> should have type <type>uint8_t *</type>. If
|
|
<parameter>type</parameter> is <constant>'s'</constant>, the object passed in <parameter>p</parameter>
|
|
should have type <type>const char **</type>. Note that, if the basic type is a pointer (e.g.,
|
|
<type>const char *</type> in the case of a string), the pointer is only borrowed and the contents must
|
|
be copied if they are to be used after the end of the messages lifetime. Similarly, during the lifetime
|
|
of such a pointer, the message must not be modified. If <parameter>type</parameter> is
|
|
<constant>'h'</constant> (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 (for example by calling
|
|
<literal>fcntl(fd, FD_DUPFD_CLOEXEC, 3)</literal>). See the table below for a complete list of
|
|
allowed types.
