+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_message_read_array()</function> gives access to an element array in
+ message <parameter>m</parameter>. The "read pointer" in the message must be right before an
+ array of type <parameter>type</parameter>. As a special case, <parameter>type</parameter> may be
+ <constant>NUL</constant>, in which case any type is acceptable. A pointer to the array data is
+ returned in the parameter <parameter>ptr</parameter> and the size of array data (in bytes) is
+ returned in the parameter <parameter>size</parameter>. If <parameter>size</parameter> is 0, a
+ valid non-null pointer will be returned, but it may not be dereferenced. The data is aligned as
+ appropriate for the data type. The data is part of the message — it may not be modified and is
+ valid only as long as the message is referenced. After this function returns, the "read pointer"
+ points at the next element after the array.</para>

+ <title>Return Value</title>
+
+ <para>
+ On success, <function>sd_bus_message_read_array()</function> returns 0 or
+ a positive integer. On failure, it returns a negative errno-style error
+ code.
