    <title>Description</title>

    <para><function>sd_bus_message_rewind()</function> moves the "read pointer" in the message
    <parameter>m</parameter> to either the begining of the message (if
    <parameter>complete</parameter> is true) or to the beginning of the currently open container. If
    no container is open, <parameter>complete</parameter> has no effect.</para>

    <title>Return Value</title>

    <para>
      On success, this function returns 0 or a positive integer. The value is zero if the current
      container or whole message in case no container is open is empty, and positive otherwise. On
      failure, it returns a negative errno-style error code.
