SD_BUS_R...D_RETURN(3)  sd_bus_reply_method_return SD_BUS_R...D_RETURN(3)
       sd_bus_reply_method_return, sd_bus_reply_method_returnv - Reply to
       a D-Bus method call
       #include <systemd/sd-bus.h>
       int sd_bus_reply_method_return(sd_bus_message *call,
                                      const char *types, ...);
       int sd_bus_reply_method_returnv(sd_bus_message *call,
                                       const char *types, va_list ap);
       sd_bus_reply_method_return() sends a reply to the call message.
       The type string types and the arguments that follow it must adhere
       to the format described in sd_bus_message_append(3). If no reply
       is expected to call, this function succeeds without sending a
       reply.
       On success, this function returns a non-negative integer. On
       failure, it returns a negative errno-style error code.
   Errors
       Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
       -EINVAL
           The input parameter call is NULL.
           Message call is not a method call message.
           Message call is not attached to a bus.
           Message m is not a method reply message.
           Added in version 246.
       -EPERM
           Message call has been sealed.
           Added in version 246.
       -ENOTCONN
           The bus to which message call is attached is not connected.
           Added in version 246.
       -ENOMEM
           Memory allocation failed.
           Added in version 246.
       In addition, any error returned by sd_bus_send(3) may be returned.
       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.
