<title>Description</title>
<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.
