+
+    <para>Function <function>sd_bus_message_append</function> can be
+    used to append an array of strings to message
+    <parameter>m</parameter>. Parameter <parameter>l</parameter>
+    points to a <constant>NULL</constant>-terminated array of pointers
+    to <constant>NUL</constant>-terminated strings. Each string must
+    satisfy the same constraints as described for the
+    <literal>s</literal> type in
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_append_basic</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>The memory pointed at by <parameter>p</parameter> and the
+    contents of the strings themselves are copied into the memory area
+    containing the message and may be changed after this call. Note
+    that the signature of <parameter>l</parameter> parameter is be
+    treated as <type>const char* const*</type>, and the the contents
+    will not be modified.</para>

+    <title>Return Value</title>
+
+    <para>On success, this call returns 0 or a positive integer. On
+    failure, a negative errno-style error code is returned.</para>
