SD_BUS_MESSAGE_SKIP(3)

  .SH "NAME" sd_bus_message_skip - Skip elements in a bus message
  .SH "SYNOPSIS"

#include <systemd/sd-bus.h>

      .HP u int sd_bus_message_skip(sd_bus_message *m, const char* types);

  .SH "DESCRIPTION"

    .PP sd_bus_message_skip() is somewhat similar to sd_bus_message_read(3), but instead of reading the contents of the message, it only moves the "read pointer". Subsequent read operations will read the elements that are after the elements that were skipped.
    .PP The types argument has the same meaning as in sd_bus_message_read(). It may also be NULL, to skip a single element of any type.

  .SH "RETURN VALUE"

    .PP On success, sd_bus_message_skip() returns 0 or a positive integer. On failure, it returns a negative errno-style error code.

  .SH "ERRORS"

    .PP Returned errors may indicate the following problems:

      .PP -EINVAL

            The m parameter is NULL.
          .RE
          .PP -EBADMSG

                The message cannot be parsed.
              .RE
              .PP -EPERM

                    The message is not sealed.
                  .RE
                  .PP -ENXIO

                        The message end has been reached and the requested elements cannot be read.
                      .RE
                      .PP -ENOMEM

                            Memory allocation failed.
                          .RE

                      .SH "NOTES"
