<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<P>
<B>sd_bus_message_read_basic()</B>
<DD>reads a basic type from a message and advances the read position in the message. The set of basic types and their ascii codes passed in
<I>type</I>
are described in the
m[blue]<B>D-Bus Specification</B>m[]<FONT SIZE="-2">[1]</FONT>.
<P>
If
<I>p</I>
is not
<B>NULL</B>, it should contain a pointer to an appropriate object. For example, if
<I>type</I>
is
<B>'y'</B>, the object passed in
<I>p</I>
should have type
<B>uint8_t *</B>. If
<I>type</I>
is
<B>'s'</B>, the object passed in
<I>p</I>
should have type
<B>const char **</B>. Note that, if the basic type is a pointer (e.g.,
<B>const char *</B>
in the case of a string), the pointer is only borrowed and the contents must be copied if they are to be used after the end of the messages lifetime. Similarly, during the lifetime of such a pointer, the message must not be modified. See the table below for a complete list of allowed types.
