NAME
sd_bus_message_open_container, sd_bus_message_close_container,
sd_bus_message_enter_container, sd_bus_message_exit_container - Create
and move between containers in D-Bus messages
SYNOPSIS
#include <systemd/sd-bus.h>
int sd_bus_message_open_container(sd_bus_message *m, char type,
const char *contents);
int sd_bus_message_close_container(sd_bus_message *m);
int sd_bus_message_enter_container(sd_bus_message *m, char type,
const char *contents);
int sd_bus_message_exit_container(sd_bus_message *m);
DESCRIPTION
sd_bus_message_open_container() appends a new container to the message
m. After opening a new container, it can be filled with content using
sd_bus_message_append(3) and similar functions. Containers behave like
a stack. To nest containers inside each other, call
sd_bus_message_open_container() multiple times without calling
sd_bus_message_close_container() in between. Each container will be
nested inside the previous container. type represents the container
type and should be one of "r", "a", "v" or "e" as described in
sd_bus_message_append(3). Instead of literals, the corresponding
constants SD_BUS_TYPE_STRUCT, SD_BUS_TYPE_ARRAY, SD_BUS_TYPE_VARIANT or
SD_BUS_TYPE_DICT_ENTRY can also be used. contents describes the type
of the container's elements and should be a D-Bus type string following
the rules described in sd_bus_message_append(3).
sd_bus_message_close_container() closes the last container opened with
sd_bus_message_open_container(). On success, the write pointer of the
message m is positioned after the closed container in its parent
container or in m itself if there is no parent container.
sd_bus_message_enter_container() enters the next container of the
message m for reading. It behaves mostly the same as
sd_bus_message_open_container(). Entering a container allows reading
its contents with sd_bus_message_read(3) and similar functions. type
and contents are the same as in sd_bus_message_open_container().
sd_bus_message_exit_container() exits the scope of the last container
entered with sd_bus_message_enter_container(). It behaves mostly the
same as sd_bus_message_close_container(). Note that
sd_bus_message_exit_container() may only be called after iterating
through all members of the container, i.e. reading or skipping them.
Use sd_bus_message_skip(3) to skip over felds of a container in order
to be able to exit the container with sd_bus_message_exit_container()
without reading all members.
RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return a non-negative integer.
sd_bus_message_open_container() and sd_bus_message_close_container()
return 0. sd_bus_message_enter_container() returns 1 if it
successfully opened a new container, and 0 if that was not possible
because the end of the currently open container or message was reached.
sd_bus_message_exit_container() returns 1 on success. On failure, all
of these functions return a negative errno-style error code.
Errors
Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
-EINVAL
m or contents are NULL or type is invalid.
-EPERM
The message m is already sealed.
-ESTALE
The message m is in an invalid state.
-ENOMEM
Memory allocation failed.
-EBUSY
sd_bus_message_exit_container() was called but there are unread
members left in the container.
NOTES
These APIs are implemented as a shared library, which can be compiled
and linked to with the libsystemd pkg-config(1) file.
EXAMPLES
Example 1. Append an array of strings to a message
/* SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT-0 */
#include <systemd/sd-bus.h>
int append_strings_to_message(sd_bus_message *m, const char *const *arr) {
int r;
r = sd_bus_message_open_container(m, 'a', "s");
if (r < 0)
return r;
for (const char *s = *arr; *s; s++) {
r = sd_bus_message_append(m, "s", s);
if (r < 0)
return r;
}
return sd_bus_message_close_container(m);
}
Example 2. Read an array of strings from a message
/* SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT-0 */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <systemd/sd-bus.h>
int read_strings_from_message(sd_bus_message *m) {
int r;
r = sd_bus_message_enter_container(m, 'a', "s");
if (r < 0)
return r;
for (;;) {
const char *s;
r = sd_bus_message_read(m, "s", &s);
if (r < 0)
return r;
if (r == 0)
break;
printf("%s\n", s);
}
return sd_bus_message_exit_container(m);
}
