appends items to message <em class="parameter"><code>m</code></em> as the single
array. A container will be opened, items appended, and the
container closed. Parameter <em class="parameter"><code>type</code></em> determines
how pointer <em class="parameter"><code>p</code></em> is interpreted.
<em class="parameter"><code>type</code></em> must be one of the "trivial" types
"<code class="literal">y</code>", "<code class="literal">n</code>", "<code class="literal">q</code>",
"<code class="literal">i</code>", "<code class="literal">u</code>", "<code class="literal">x</code>",
"<code class="literal">t</code>", "<code class="literal">d</code>" (but not
"<code class="literal">b</code>"), as defined by the
<a class="ulink" href="http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html#basic-types" target="_top">Basic Types</a>
section of the D-Bus specification, and listed in
<a href="sd_bus_message_append_basic.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">sd_bus_message_append_basic</span>(3)</span></a>.
Pointer <em class="parameter"><code>p</code></em> must point to an array of size
<em class="parameter"><code>size</code></em> bytes containing items of the
respective type. Size <em class="parameter"><code>size</code></em> must be a
multiple of the size of the type <em class="parameter"><code>type</code></em>. As a
special case, <em class="parameter"><code>p</code></em> may be
<code class="constant">NULL</code>, if <em class="parameter"><code>size</code></em> is 0.
</p><p>The memory pointed at by <em class="parameter"><code>p</code></em> is copied
into the memory area containing the message and may be changed
after this call.</p><p>The
<code class="function">sd_bus_message_append_array_memfd</code> function appends
items to message <em class="parameter"><code>m</code></em>, similarly to
<code class="function">sd_bus_message_append_array</code>. Contents of the
memory file descriptor <em class="parameter"><code>memfd</code></em> are used as
the contents of the array. Their size must be a multiple of the
size of the type <em class="parameter"><code>type</code></em>.</p><p>The descriptor specified with <em class="parameter"><code>memfd</code></em>
will be sealed and cannot be modified after this call.</p><p>The
<code class="function">sd_bus_message_append_array_iovec</code> function appends
items to message <em class="parameter"><code>m</code></em>, similarly to
<code class="function">sd_bus_message_append_array</code>. Contents of the
iovec <em class="parameter"><code>iov</code></em> are used as the contents of the
array. The total size of <em class="parameter"><code>iov</code></em> payload (the
sum of <em class="structfield"><code>iov_len</code></em> fields) must be a multiple
of the size of the type <em class="parameter"><code>type</code></em>.</p><p>The <em class="parameter"><code>iov</code></em> argument must point to
<em class="parameter"><code>n</code></em> <span class="structname">struct iovec</span>
structures. Each structure may have the
<span class="structname">iov_base</span> field set, in which case the
memory pointed to will be copied into the message, or unset, in
which case a block of zeros of length
<span class="structname">iov_len</span> bytes will be inserted. The
memory pointed at by <em class="parameter"><code>iov</code></em> may be changed
after this call.</p><p>The
<code class="function">sd_bus_message_append_array_space</code> function appends
space for an array of items to message <em class="parameter"><code>m</code></em>.
It behaves the same as
<code class="function">sd_bus_message_append_array</code>, but instead
of copying items to the message, it returns a pointer to the
destination area to the caller in pointer <em class="parameter"><code>p</code></em>.
