<title>Parameter Formatting</title>
<para>The <command>call</command> and
<command>set-property</command> commands take a signature
string followed by a list of parameters formatted as string
(for details on D-Bus signature strings see the <ulink
url="http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html#type-system">Type
system chapter of the D-Bus specification</ulink>). For
simple types each parameter following the signature should
simply be the parameter's value formatted as
string. Positive boolean values may be formatted as
<literal>true</literal>, <literal>yes</literal>,
<literal>on</literal>, <literal>1</literal>; negative
boolean values may be specified as <literal>false</literal>,
<literal>no</literal>, <literal>off</literal>,
<literal>0</literal>. For arrays, a numeric argument for the
number of entries followed by the entries shall be
specified. For variants the signature of the contents shall
be specified, followed by the contents. For dictionaries and
structs the contents of them shall be directly
specified.</para>
