<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_bus_message_open_container()</function> appends a new container to the message
|
|
<parameter>m</parameter>. After opening a new container, it can be filled with content using
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_append</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
and similar functions. Containers behave like a stack. To nest containers inside each other, call
|
|
<function>sd_bus_message_open_container()</function> multiple times without calling
|
|
<function>sd_bus_message_close_container()</function> in between. Each container will be nested inside the
|
|
previous container. <parameter>type</parameter> represents the container type and should be one of
|
|
<literal>r</literal>, <literal>a</literal>, <literal>v</literal> or <literal>e</literal> as described in
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_append</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
|
|
Instead of literals, the corresponding constants <constant>SD_BUS_TYPE_STRUCT</constant>,
|
|
<constant>SD_BUS_TYPE_ARRAY</constant>, <constant>SD_BUS_TYPE_VARIANT</constant> or
|
|
<constant>SD_BUS_TYPE_DICT_ENTRY</constant> can also be used. <parameter>contents</parameter> describes
|
|
the type of the container's elements and should be a D-Bus type string following the rules described in
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_append</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_bus_message_close_container()</function> closes the last container opened with
|
|
<function>sd_bus_message_open_container()</function>. On success, the write pointer of the message
|
|
<parameter>m</parameter> is positioned after the closed container in its parent container or in
|
|
<parameter>m</parameter> itself if there is no parent container.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_bus_message_enter_container()</function> enters the next container of the message
|
|
<parameter>m</parameter> for reading. It behaves mostly the same as
|
|
<function>sd_bus_message_open_container()</function>. Entering a container allows reading its contents
|
|
with
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_read</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
and similar functions. <parameter>type</parameter> and <parameter>contents</parameter> are the same as in
|
|
<function>sd_bus_message_open_container()</function>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_bus_message_exit_container()</function> exits the scope of the last container entered
|
|
with <function>sd_bus_message_enter_container()</function>. It behaves mostly the same as
|
|
<function>sd_bus_message_close_container()</function>. Note that
|
|
<function>sd_bus_message_exit_container()</function> may only be called after iterating through all
|
|
members of the container, i.e. reading or skipping over them. Use
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_skip</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
to skip over fields of a container in order to be able to exit the container with
|
|
<function>sd_bus_message_exit_container()</function> without reading all members.</para>

<title>Return Value</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>On success, these functions return a non-negative integer.
|
|
<function>sd_bus_message_open_container()</function> and <function>sd_bus_message_close_container()</function>
|
|
return 0.
|
|
<function>sd_bus_message_enter_container()</function> 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.
|
|
<function>sd_bus_message_exit_container()</function> returns 1 on success.
|
|
On failure, all of these functions return a negative errno-style error code.</para>
