SD_BUS_M...END_STRV(3) sd_bus_message_append_strvSD_BUS_M...END_STRV(3)sd_bus_message_append_strv - Attach an array of strings to a message
#include <systemd/sd-bus.h>int sd_bus_message_append_strv(sd_bus_message *m, char **l);
Thesd_bus_message_append()function can be used to append an array of strings to messagem. The parameterl shall point to aNULL-terminated array of pointers toNUL-terminated strings. Each string must satisfy the same constraints as described for the "s" type insd_bus_message_append_basic(3). The memory pointed at byp 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 ofl parameter is to be treated asconst char *const *, and the contents will not be modified.
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.
Functions described here are available as a shared library, which can be compiled against and linked to with thelibsystemd pkg-config(1) file. The code described here usesgetenv(3), which is declared to be not multi-thread-safe. This means that the code calling the functions described here must not callsetenv(3) from a parallel thread. It is recommended to only do calls tosetenv()from an early phase of the program when no other threads have been started.
