Subject: sd-varlink: Add SD_VARLINK_ANY
X-Git-Tag: v260-rc1~390
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2e51ed7fcb8a4215432ca189f8b3d2ad848ea93b;p=thirdparty%2Fsystemd.git

sd-varlink: Add SD_VARLINK_ANY

This allows representing fields that can be either an integer or
a string, like the "value" field we'll be adding in
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/39202.

Upstream spec change: https://github.com/varlink/varlink.github.io/pull/43
