In case of sd_bus_message_append_string_memfd, the contents of memfd are the string. They must satisfy the same constraints as described for the s type in sd_bus_message_append_basic3. In case of sd_bus_message_append_string_iovec, the payload of iov is the string. It must satisfy the same constraints as described for the s type in sd_bus_message_append_basic3. The iov argument must point to n struct iovec structures. Each structure may have the iov_base field set, in which case the memory pointed to will be copied into the message, or unset, in which case a block of spaces (ASCII 32) of length iov_len will be inserted. The memory pointed at by iov may be changed after this call. The sd_bus_message_append_string_space function appends space for a string to message m. It behaves similar to sd_bus_message_append_basic with type s, but instead of copying a string into the message, it returns a pointer to the destination area to the caller in pointer p. Space for the string of length size plus the terminating NUL is allocated. On success, those calls return 0 or a positive integer. On failure, they returns a negative errno-style error code. The functions described here are available as a shared library, which can be compiled and linked to with the libsystemd pkg-config1 file. systemd1, sd-bus3, sd_bus_message_append_basic3, The D-Bus specification
