+
+    <para>
+      <function>sd_bus_message_read_basic()</function> 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 <parameter>type</parameter> are
+      described in the <ulink
+        url="https://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html">D-Bus
+        Specification</ulink>.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+      If <parameter>p</parameter> is not NULL, it should contain a pointer to an
+      appropriate object. For example, if <parameter>type</parameter> is
+      <constant>'y'</constant>, the object passed in <parameter>p</parameter>
+      should have type <code>uint8_t *</code>. If <parameter>type</parameter>
+      is <constant>'s'</constant>, the object passed in <parameter>p</parameter>
+      should have type <code>const char **</code>. Note that, if the basic type
+      is a pointer (e.g., <code>const char *</code> 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.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+      If there is no object of the specified type at the current position in the
+      message, an error is returned.
+    </para>

+
+    <para>
+      On success, <function>sd_bus_message_read_basic()</function> returns 0 or
+      a positive integer. On failure, it returns a negative errno-style error
+      code.
