       sd_bus_message_append_string_memfd,
       sd_bus_message_append_string_iovec,

       int sd_bus_message_append_string_memfd(sd_bus_message *m,
                                              int memfd);
       int sd_bus_message_append_string_iovec(sd_bus_message *m,
                                              const struct iovec *iov,
                                              unsigned n);
       int sd_bus_message_append_string_space(sd_bus_message *m,
                                              size_t size, char **s);
       The functions sd_bus_message_append_string_memfd() and
       sd_bus_message_append_string_iovec() can be used to append a
       single string (item of type "s") to message m.
       In case of sd_bus_message_append_string_memfd(), the contents of
       memfd are the string. They must satisfy the same constraints as
       described for the "s" type in sd_bus_message_append_basic(3).
       In case of sd_bus_message_append_string_iovec(), the payload of
       iov is the string. It must satisfy the same constraints as
       described for the "s" type in sd_bus_message_append_basic(3).
       The iov argument must point to n struct iovec structures. Each
       structure may have the iov_base field set, in which case the
       memory pointed to will be copied into the message, or unset, in
       which case a block of spaces (ASCII 32) of length iov_len will be
       inserted. The memory pointed at by iov may be changed after this
       call.
       The sd_bus_message_append_string_space() function appends space
       for a string to message m. It behaves similar to
       sd_bus_message_append_basic() with type "s", but instead of
       copying a string into the message, it returns a pointer to the
       destination area to the caller in pointer p. Space for the string
       of length size plus the terminating NUL is allocated.
       On success, those calls return 0 or a positive integer. On
       failure, they return a negative errno-style error code.
   Errors
       Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
       -EINVAL
           Specified parameter is invalid.
       -EPERM
           Message has been sealed.
       -ESTALE
           Message is in invalid state.
       -ENXIO
           Message cannot be appended to.
       -ENOMEM
           Memory allocation failed.
       Functions described here are available as a shared library, which
       can be compiled against and linked to with the
       libsystemd pkg-config(1) file.
       The code described here uses getenv(3), which is declared to be
       not multi-thread-safe. This means that the code calling the
       functions described here must not call setenv(3) from a parallel
       thread. It is recommended to only do calls to setenv() from an
       early phase of the program when no other threads have been
       started.
