+
+ <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>

+ <title>Return Value</title>
+
+ <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.
