### g_dbus_message_get_arg0 ()

    const gchar *
    g_dbus_message_get_arg0 (GDBusMessage *message);

Convenience to get the first item in the body of `message` .

#### Parameters

### g_dbus_message_to_blob ()

    guchar *
    g_dbus_message_to_blob (GDBusMessage *message,
                            gsize *out_size,
                            GDBusCapabilityFlags capabilities,
                            GError **error);

Serializes `message` to a blob. The byte order returned by `g_dbus_message_get_byte_order()` will be used.

#### Parameters

message | A GDBusMessage. |
out_size | Return location for size of generated blob. |
capabilities | A GDBusCapabilityFlags describing what protocol features are supported. |
error | Return location for error. |

#### Returns

A pointer to a valid binary D-Bus message of `out_size` bytes generated by `message` or `NULL` if `error` is set. Free with `g_free()`.

[array length=out_size][transfer full]

### g_dbus_message_bytes_needed ()

    gssize
    g_dbus_message_bytes_needed (guchar *blob,
                                 gsize blob_len,
                                 GError **error);

Utility function to calculate how many bytes are needed to completely deserialize the D-Bus message stored at `blob` .

#### Parameters

blob | A blob represent a binary D-Bus message. | [array length=blob_len][element-type guint8]
blob_len | The length of `blob` (must be at least 16). |
error | Return location for error or `NULL`. |

#### Returns

Number of bytes needed or -1 if `error` is set (e.g. if `blob` contains invalid data or not enough data is available to determine the size).

Since 2.26

### g_dbus_message_new_from_blob ()

    GDBusMessage *
    g_dbus_message_new_from_blob (guchar *blob,
                                  gsize blob_len,
                                  GDBusCapabilityFlags capabilities,
                                  GError **error);

Creates a new GDBusMessage from the data stored at `blob` . The byte order that the message was in can be retrieved using `g_dbus_message_get_byte_order()`.

#### Parameters

blob | A blob represent a binary D-Bus message. | [array length=blob_len][element-type guint8]
blob_len | The length of `blob` . |
capabilities | A GDBusCapabilityFlags describing what protocol features are supported. |
error | Return location for error or `NULL`. |

#### Returns

A new GDBusMessage or `NULL` if `error` is set. Free with `g_object_unref()`.

Since 2.26

### g_dbus_message_to_gerror ()

    gboolean
    g_dbus_message_to_gerror (GDBusMessage *message,
                              GError **error);

If `message` is not of type `G_DBUS_MESSAGE_TYPE_ERROR` does nothing and returns `FALSE`.

Otherwise this method encodes the error in `message` as a GError using `g_dbus_error_set_dbus_error()` using the information in the `G_DBUS_MESSAGE_HEADER_FIELD_ERROR_NAME` header field of `message` as well as the first string item in `message` 's body.

#### Parameters

message | A GDBusMessage. |
error | The GError to set. |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if `error` was set, `FALSE` otherwise.
