11 int sd_bus_message_skip(sd_bus_message *m, const char* types);
12
14 sd_bus_message_skip() is somewhat similar to sd_bus_message_read(3),
15 but instead of reading the contents of the message, it only moves the
16 "read pointer". Subsequent read operations will read the elements that
17 are after the elements that were skipped.
18
19 The types argument has the same meaning as in sd_bus_message_read(). It
20 may also be NULL, to skip a single element of any type.
21
23 On success, sd_bus_message_skip() returns 0 or a positive integer. On
24 failure, it returns a negative errno-style error code.
25
27 Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
28
29 -EINVAL
30 The m parameter is NULL.
31
32 -EBADMSG
33 The message cannot be parsed.
34
35 -EPERM
36 The message is not sealed.
37
38 -ENXIO
39 The message end has been reached and the requested elements cannot
40 be read.
41
42 -ENOMEM
43 Memory allocation failed.

46 These APIs are implemented as a shared library, which can be compiled
47 and linked to with the libsystemd pkg-config(1) file.
