+
+ <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 <constant>NULL</constant>, 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 <type>uint8_t *</type>. If
+ <parameter>type</parameter> is <constant>'s'</constant>, the object passed in <parameter>p</parameter>
+ should have type <type>const char **</type>. Note that, if the basic type is a pointer (e.g.,
+ <type>const char *</type> 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 message's lifetime. Similarly, during the
+ lifetime of such a pointer, the message must not be modified. If <parameter>type</parameter> is
+ <constant>'h'</constant> (UNIX file descriptor), the descriptor is not duplicated by this call and the
+ returned descriptor remains in possession of the message object, and needs to be duplicated by the
+ caller in order to keep an open reference to it after the message object is freed (for example by
+ calling <literal>fcntl(fd, FD_DUPFD_CLOEXEC, 3)</literal>). See the table below for a complete list of
+ allowed types.
