How to create Dict of {String, Variant} for D-Bus method?

I'm trying to call D-Bus method, but don't understand how to add needed args.

  • Method name: CreateSession (String destination, Dict of {String, Variant} args) ↦ (Object Path session)
  • Bus Name: org.bluez.obex
  • Object Path: /org/bluez/obex
  • Interface: org.bluez.obex.Client1

I successfully can call this method in D-Feet app with this arguments:

"D0:9C:7A:A1:A4:63",{'Target':GLib.Variant('s','OPP')}

But how make the same using only dbus.h?

Here's my code:

// Do before compile sudo apt-get install -y libdbus-1-dev
// gcc -o test -Wall test.c `pkg-config --cflags dbus-1` `pkg-config --libs dbus-1`
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <dbus/dbus.h>
 
int main() {
    DBusConnection *sesBusCon;
    DBusError error;
    DBusMessage *call;
    DBusMessage *reply;

    dbus_error_init(&error);
    if (dbus_error_is_set(&error)) {
        fprintf(stderr, "%s", error.message);
        return 1;
    }
    
    sesBusCon = dbus_bus_get(DBUS_BUS_SESSION, &error);
    if (dbus_error_is_set(&error)) {
        fprintf(stderr, "%s", error.message);
        return 1;
    }
    
    call = dbus_message_new_method_call("org.bluez.obex", "/org/bluez/obex", "org.bluez.obex.Client1", "CreateSession");     
    
    reply = dbus_connection_send_with_reply_and_block (sesBusCon, call, 100000, &error);
    if (dbus_error_is_set(&error)) {
        fprintf(stderr, "%s", error.message);
        return 1;
    }
    
    return 0;
}
