In the troff output, this doesn't seem to make any difference. But in the html output, the whitespace is sometimes preserved, creating an additional gap before the following content. Drop it everywhere to avoid this.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_bus_message_read()</function> reads a sequence of fields from the D-Bus message object
|
|
<parameter>m</parameter> and advances the read position in the message. The type string
|
|
<parameter>types</parameter> describes the types of items expected in the message and the field arguments
|
|
that follow. The type string may be <constant>NULL</constant> or empty, in which case nothing is read.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The type string is composed of the elements described in
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_append</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
|
|
i.e. basic and container types. It must contain zero or more single "complete types". The type string is
|
|
<constant>NUL</constant>-terminated.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>For each type specified in the type string, one or more arguments need to be specified after the
|
|
<parameter>types</parameter> parameter, in the same order. The arguments must be pointers to appropriate
|
|
types (a pointer to <type>int8_t</type> for a <literal>y</literal> in the type string, a pointer to
|
|
<type>int32_t</type> for an <literal>i</literal>, a pointer to <type>const char*</type> for an
|
|
<literal>s</literal>, ...) which are set based on the values in the message. As an exception, in case of
|
|
array and variant types, the first argument is an "input" argument that further specifies how the message
|
|
should be read. See the table below for a complete list of allowed arguments and their types. Note that,
|
|
if the basic type is a pointer (e.g., <type>const char *</type> in the case of a string), the argument is
|
|
a pointer to a pointer, and also the pointer value that is written is only borrowed and the contents must
|
|
be copied if they are to be used after the end of the message's lifetime. If the type is
|
|
<literal>h</literal> (UNIX file descriptor), the descriptor is not duplicated by this call and the
|
|
returned descriptor remains in possession of the message object, and needs to be duplicated by the caller
|
|
in order to keep an open reference to it after the message object is freed.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Each argument may also be <constant>NULL</constant>, in which case the value is read and ignored.
