SD_BUS_MESSAGE_REWIND(3) sd_bus_message_rewindSD_BUS_MESSAGE_REWIND(3)sd_bus_message_rewind - Return to beginning of message or current container
#include <systemd/sd-bus.h>int sd_bus_message_rewind(sd_bus_message *m, intcomplete);
sd_bus_message_rewind()moves the "read pointer" in the messagem to either the beginning of the message (ifcomplete is true) or to the beginning of the currently open container. If no container is open,complete has no effect.
On success, this function returns 0 or a positive integer. The value is zero if the current container or whole message in case no container is open is empty, and positive otherwise. On failure, it returns a negative errno-style error code.Errors Returned errors may indicate the following problems:-EINVAL Them parameter isNULL.-EPERM The messagem has not been sealed.
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.
sd_bus_message_rewind()was added in version 240.
