- <para>The value of the parameter is copied into the memory area
- containing the message and may be changed after this call. If
- <parameter>type</parameter> is <literal>h</literal> (UNIX file
- descriptor), it is always "consumed" by this call, and either
- successfully appended to the message or closed.</para>
-
- <para>For types <literal>s</literal>, <literal>o</literal>, and
- <literal>g</literal>, the parameter <parameter>p</parameter> is
- interpreted as a pointer to a <constant>NUL</constant>-terminated
- character sequence. As a special case, a <constant>NULL</constant>
- pointer is interpreted as an empty string. The string should be
- valid Unicode string encoded as UTF-8. In case of the two latter
- types, the additional requirements for a D-Bus object path or
- type signature should be satisfied. Those requirements should be
- verified by the recipient of the message.
