    <title>Description</title>

    <para>The functions
    <function>sd_bus_message_append_string_memfd</function> and
    <function>sd_bus_message_append_string_iovec</function> can be
    used to append a single string (item of type <literal>s</literal>)
    to message <parameter>m</parameter>.</para>

    <para>In case of
    <function>sd_bus_message_append_string_memfd</function>, the
    contents of <parameter>memfd</parameter> are the string. They 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>In case of
    <function>sd_bus_message_append_string_iovec</function>, the
    payload of <parameter>iov</parameter> is the string. It 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 <parameter>iov</parameter> argument must point to
    <parameter>n</parameter> <structname>struct iovec</structname>
    structures. Each structure may have the
    <structname>iov_base</structname> 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
    <structname>iov_len</structname> will be inserted. The
    memory pointed at by <parameter>iov</parameter> may be changed
    after this call.</para>

    <para>The
    <function>sd_bus_message_append_string_space</function> function appends
    space for a string to message <parameter>m</parameter>. It behaves
    similar to <function>sd_bus_message_append_basic</function> with
    type <literal>s</literal>, but instead of copying a string into
    the message, it returns a pointer to the destination area to
    the caller in pointer <parameter>p</parameter>. Space for the string
    of length <parameter>size</parameter> plus the terminating
    <constant>NUL</constant> is allocated.</para>

  <refsect1>
    <title>Return Value</title>

    <para>On success, those calls return 0 or a positive integer. On
    failure, they returns a negative errno-style error code.</para>
  </refsect1>

    <title>Notes</title>

    <para>The functions described here are available as a shared library,
    which can be compiled and linked to with the
    <constant>libsystemd</constant> <citerefentry project='die-net'><refentrytitle>pkg-config</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    file.</para>
