How to add self-defined variant type

[dtdang]

Hi Lawrence,

Could you give example by using libdbus C ?
The variant type is required as spec by customer.

Actually, the type of variant is not fixed as bellows.

array [
dict entry(
string "bssid"
variant array of bytes [
7a a1 d7 02 dc 31
]
)
dict entry(
string "capabilities"
variant uint16 32
)
dict entry(
string "extended_capabilities"
variant uint32 16777248
...

Thanks,
Ton
