SD_BUS_M...END_STRV(3)  sd_bus_message_append_strv SD_BUS_M...END_STRV(3)

NAME         top

       sd_bus_message_append_strv - Attach an array of strings to a
       message

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <systemd/sd-bus.h>

       int sd_bus_message_append_strv(sd_bus_message *m, char **l);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The sd_bus_message_append() function can be used to append an
       array of strings to message m. The parameter l shall point to a
       NULL-terminated array of pointers to NUL-terminated strings. Each
       string must satisfy the same constraints as described for the "s"
       type in sd_bus_message_append_basic(3).

       The memory pointed at by p and the contents of the strings
       themselves are copied into the memory area containing the message
       and may be changed after this call. Note that the signature of l
       parameter is to be treated as const char *const *, and the
       contents will not be modified.

RETURN VALUE         top

       On success, this call returns 0 or a positive integer. On failure,
       a negative errno-style error code is returned.

   Errors
       Returned errors may indicate the following problems:

       -EINVAL
           Specified parameter is invalid.

       -EPERM
           Message has been sealed.

       -ESTALE
           Message is in invalid state.

       -ENXIO
           Message cannot be appended to.

       -ENOMEM
           Memory allocation failed.

NOTES         top

       Functions described here are available as a shared library, which
       can be compiled against and linked to with the
       libsystemd pkg-config(1) file.

       All functions listed here are thread-agnostic and only a single
       thread may operate on a given object at any given time. Different
       threads may access the same object at different times. Multiple
       independent objects may be used from different threads in
       parallel.

       The code described here uses getenv(3), which is declared to be
       not multi-thread-safe. This means that the code calling the
       functions described here must not call setenv(3) from a parallel
       thread. It is recommended to only do calls to setenv() from an
       early phase of the program when no other threads have been
       started.
