+
+ <para>Function <function>sd_bus_message_append</function> appends
+ a sequence of items to message <parameter>m</parameter>. The
+ format string <parameter>types</parameter> describes the types of
+ arguments that follow.</para>
+
+ <para>The format string is composed of the elements shown in the
+ table below. It contains zero or more single "complete types".
+ Each complete type may be one of the basic types or a fully
+ described container type. A container type may be a structure, a
+ variant type code, an array with its element type, or a dictionary
+ with its entry type. The format string is
+ <constant>NUL</constant>-terminated.</para>
+
+ <para>In case of a basic type, one argument of the corresponding
+ type is expected.</para>
+
+ <para>A structure is denoted by a sequence of complete types
+ between <literal>(</literal> and <literal>)</literal>. This
+ sequence cannot be empty — it must contain at least one type.
+ Arguments corresponding to this nested sequence follow the same
+ rules as if they were not nested.</para>
+
+ <para>A variant is denoted by <literal>v</literal>. Correspoding
+ arguments must include a format string denoting a complete type,
+ and following that, arguments corresponding to the specified type.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>An array is denoted by <literal>a</literal> followed by a
+ complete type. Corresponding arguments must include the size of
+ the array, and then repeated this number of times, arguments
+ corresponding to the nested type.</para>
+
+ <para>A dictionary is an array of dictionary entries, denoted by
+ <literal>a</literal> followed by a pair of complete types between
+ <literal>{</literal> and <literal>}</literal>. The first of those
+ types must be a basic type. Corresponding arguments must include
+ the size of the dictionary, and then repeated this number of
+ times, arguments corresponding to each of the two nested
+ types.</para>

+ Pointer <parameter>p</parameter> must point to an array of of size
