17 The sd_bus_message_dump() function writes a textual representation of
18 the message m to the stream f. This function is intended to be used for
19 debugging purposes, and the output is neither stable nor designed to be
20 machine readable.
21
22 The flags parameter may be used to modify the output. With
23 SD_BUS_MESSAGE_DUMP_WITH_HEADER, a header that specifies the message
24 type and flags and some additional metadata is printed. When
25 SD_BUS_MESSAGE_DUMP_SUBTREE_ONLY is not passed, the contents of the
26 whole message are printed. When it is passed, only the current
27 container in printed.
28
29 Note that this function moves the read pointer of the message. It may
30 be necessary to reset the position afterwards, for example with
31 sd_bus_message_rewind(3).

57 On success, this function returns 0 or a positive integer. On failure,
58 it returns a negative errno-style error code. No error codes are
59 currently defined.

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