[systemd-devel] Reading an "ao" signature message with the sdbus c library?

[James Johnson]

Hello,


It looks like I figured out my problem, I have to use:

result = sd_bus_message_enter_container(msgCall, 'a', "o");

before I try reading the array with :

result = sd_bus_message_read(msgCall, "o", &ptr);

Thanks,
Jimmy
