<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_bus_message_read_array()</function> gives access to an element array in
message <parameter>m</parameter>. The "read pointer" in the message must be right before an
array of type <parameter>type</parameter>. As a special case, <parameter>type</parameter> may be
<constant>NUL</constant>, in which case any type is acceptable. A pointer to the array data is
returned in the parameter <parameter>ptr</parameter> and the size of array data (in bytes) is
returned in the parameter <parameter>size</parameter>. If <parameter>size</parameter> is 0, a
valid non-null pointer will be returned, but it may not be dereferenced. The data is aligned as
appropriate for the data type. The data is part of the message — it may not be modified and is
valid only as long as the message is referenced. After this function returns, the "read pointer"
points at the next element after the array.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Return Value</title>
<para>
On success, <function>sd_bus_message_read_array()</function> returns 0 or
a positive integer. On failure, it returns a negative errno-style error
code.
