- (for details on D-Bus signature strings see the Type

- string. Positive boolean values may be formatted as
- true, yes,
- on, 1; negative
- boolean values may be specified as false,

- 0. For arrays, a numeric argument for the
- number of entries followed by the entries shall be
- specified. For variants the signature of the contents shall
- be specified, followed by the contents. For dictionaries and
- structs the contents of them shall be directly
- specified.

- of a single string jawoll.
