    <title>Description</title>

    <para><function>sd_bus_message_get_signature()</function> returns the signature of message
    <parameter>message</parameter>. If <parameter>complete</parameter> is true, the signature of the
    whole message is returned, and just the signature of the currently open container otherwise.
    </para>

    <para><function>sd_bus_message_is_empty()</function> returns true if the message is empty,
    i.e. when its signature is empty.</para>

    <para><function>sd_bus_message_has_signature()</function> returns true if the signature of the
    message <parameter>message</parameter> matches given <parameter>signature</parameter>. Parameter
    <parameter>signature</parameter> may be <constant>NULL</constant>, this is treated the same as
    an empty string, which is equivalent to calling <function>sd_bus_message_is_empty()</function>.
    </para>

  <refsect1>
    <title>Return Value</title>

    <para>On success, <function>sd_bus_message_get_signature()</function> returns
    the signature, and <constant>NULL</constant> on error.</para>

    <para>The other functions return 0 or a positive integer on success. On failure, they return a
    negative errno-style error code.</para>

    <refsect2>
      <title>Errors</title>

      <para>Returned errors may indicate the following problems:</para>
