NAME

       sd_bus_message_append_string_memfd, sd_bus_message_append_string_iovec,
       sd_bus_message_append_string_space - Attach a string to a message

SYNOPSIS

       #include <systemd/sd-bus.h>

       int sd_bus_message_append_string_memfd(sd_bus_message *m, int memfd);

       int sd_bus_message_append_string_iovec(sd_bus_message *m, const struct iovec *iov,
                                              unsigned n);

       int sd_bus_message_append_string_space(sd_bus_message *m, size_t size, char **s);

DESCRIPTION

       The functions sd_bus_message_append_string_memfd() and
       sd_bus_message_append_string_iovec() can be used to append a single string (item of type
       "s") to message m.

       In case of sd_bus_message_append_string_memfd(), the contents of memfd are the string.
       They must satisfy the same constraints as described for the "s" type in
       sd_bus_message_append_basic(3).

       In case of sd_bus_message_append_string_iovec(), the payload of iov is the string. It must
       satisfy the same constraints as described for the "s" type in
       sd_bus_message_append_basic(3).

       The iov argument must point to n struct iovec structures. Each structure may have the
       iov_base field set, in which case the memory pointed to will be copied into the message,
       or unset, in which case a block of spaces (ASCII 32) of length iov_len will be inserted.
       The memory pointed at by iov may be changed after this call.

       The sd_bus_message_append_string_space() function appends space for a string to message m.
       It behaves similar to sd_bus_message_append_basic() with type "s", but instead of copying
       a string into the message, it returns a pointer to the destination area to the caller in
       pointer p. Space for the string of length size plus the terminating NUL is allocated.

RETURN VALUE

       On success, those calls return 0 or a positive integer. On failure, they return a negative
       errno-style error code.

   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

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

       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.
