NAME         top

       sd_bus_message_verify_type - Check if the message has specified
       type at the current location

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <systemd/sd-bus.h>

       int sd_bus_message_verify_type(sd_bus_message *m, char type,
                                      const char* contents);

DESCRIPTION         top

       sd_bus_message_verify_type() checks if the complete type at the
       current location in the message m matches the specified type and
       contents. If non-zero, parameter type must be one of the types
       specified in sd_bus_message_append(3). If non-null, parameter
       contents must be a valid sequence of complete types. If both type
       and contents are specified type must be a container type.

       If type is specified, the type in the message must match. If
       contents is specified, the type in the message must be a container
       type with this signature.

RETURN VALUE         top

       On success, this call returns true if the type matches and zero if
       not (the message m contains different data or the end of the
       message has been reached). On failure, it returns a negative
       errno-style error code.

   Errors
       Returned errors may indicate the following problems:

       -EINVAL
           m or both type and contents are NULL.

           Arguments do not satisfy other constraints listed above.

       -EPERM
           Message m is not sealed.

NOTES         top

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

       All functions listed here are thread-agnostic and only a single
       thread may operate on a given object at any given time. Different
       threads may access the same object at different times. Multiple
       independent objects may be used from different threads in
       parallel.

       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.
