SD_BUS_M...IGNATURE(3) sd_bus_message_get_signatureSD_BUS_M...IGNATURE(3)
       sd_bus_message_get_signature, sd_bus_message_is_empty,
       sd_bus_message_has_signature - Query bus message signature
       #include <systemd/sd-bus.h>
       const char* sd_bus_message_get_signature(sd_bus_message *message,
                                                int complete);
       int sd_bus_message_is_empty(sd_bus_message *message);
       int sd_bus_message_has_signature(sd_bus_message *message,
                                        const char *signature);
       sd_bus_message_get_signature() returns the signature of message
       message. If complete is true, the signature of the whole message
       is returned, and just the signature of the currently open
       container otherwise.
       sd_bus_message_is_empty() returns true if the message is empty,
       i.e. when its signature is empty.
       sd_bus_message_has_signature() returns true if the signature of
       the message message matches given signature. Parameter signature
       may be NULL, this is treated the same as an empty string, which is
       equivalent to calling sd_bus_message_is_empty().
       On success, sd_bus_message_get_signature() returns the signature,
       and NULL on error.
       The other functions return 0 or a positive integer on success. On
       failure, they return a negative errno-style error code.
   Errors
       Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
       -EINVAL
           The message parameter is NULL.
       NULL
           The message parameter is NULL.
       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.
       sd_bus_message_get_signature(), sd_bus_message_is_empty(), and
       sd_bus_message_has_signature() were added in version 240.
