+D-Bus 1.7.0 (2013-02-22)
+==
+
+The "Disingenuous Assertions" release.
+
+This is a new development release, starting the 1.7.x branch. D-Bus 1.6
+remains the recommended version for long-term-supported distributions
+or the upcoming GNOME 3.8 release.
+
+Build-time configuration changes:
+
+• The --with-dbus-session-bus-default-address configure option is no longer
+ supported. Use the new --with-dbus-session-bus-connect-address and
+ --with-dbus-session-bus-listen-address options instead. On Windows, you
+ usually want them to have the same argument; on Unix, the defaults are
+ usually correct.
+
+• Similarly, the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_DEFAULT_ADDRESS CMake variable is no longer
+ supported; use the new DBUS_SESSION_BUS_LISTEN_ADDRESS and
+ DBUS_SESSION_BUS_CONNECT_ADDRESS variables instead.
+
+• cmake/cross-compile.sh has been removed. Instead, please use a
+ cross-toolchain file (-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE) as documented at
+ <http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/CMake_Cross_Compiling>; or use Autotools
+ as documented in "info automake Cross-Compilation", and set
+ PKG_CONFIG_PATH appropriately.
+
+Requirements:
+
+• Man pages now require xmlto (or either xmlto or meinproc, if using CMake).
+• man2html is no longer used.
+
+Enhancements:
+
+• D-Bus Specification 0.20
+ · actually say that /org/freedesktop/DBus is the object that
+ implements o.fd.DBus (fd.o #51865, Colin Walters)
+ · various reorganisation for better clarity (fd.o #38252, Simon McVittie)
+ · stop claiming that all basic types work just like INT32 (strings don't!)
+
+• The "source code" for the man pages is now Docbook XML, eliminating
+ the outdated duplicate copies used when building with CMake.
+ (fd.o #59805; Ralf Habacker, Simon McVittie)
+
+Fixes:
+
+• In the activation helper, when compiled for tests, do not reset the system
+ bus address, fixing the regression tests. (fd.o #52202, Simon)
+
+• Fix building with Valgrind 3.8, at the cost of causing harmless warnings
+ with Valgrind 3.6 on some compilers (fd.o #55932, Arun Raghavan)
+
+• Merge <servicehelper> from system-local.conf if necessary (fd.o #51560,
+ Krzysztof Konopko)
+
+• Under CMake, prefer xmlto over meinproc (fd.o #59733, Ralf Habacker)
+
+• Stop duplicating CMake's own logic to find libexpat
+ (fd.o #59733, Ralf Habacker)
+
+• Don't assume CMake host and build system are the same (fd.o #59733,
+ Ralf Habacker)
+
+• Avoid deprecation warnings for GLib 2.35 (fd.o #59971, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Unix-specific:
+ · Check for functions in libpthread correctly, fixing compilation on
+ (at least) OpenBSD (fd.o #47239, Simon)
+ · Don't leak temporary fds pointing to /dev/null (fd.o #56927,
+ Michel HERMIER)
+ · Update sd-daemon.[ch] from systemd (fd.o #60681)
+ · Add partial support for QNX (fd.o #60339, fd.o #61176; Matt Fischer)
+
+• Windows-specific:
+ · The default session bus listening and connecting address is now
+ "autolaunch:", which makes D-Bus on Windows interoperate with itself
+ and GDBus "out of the box". Use the configure options and cmake variables
+ described above if you require a different autolaunch scope.
+ (fd.o #38201, Simon McVittie)
+ · Avoid a CMake warning under Cygwin (fd.o #59401, Ralf Habacker)
+
+• Create session.d, system.d directories under CMake (fd.o #41319,
+ Ralf Habacker)
+

+Running D-Bus clients with Valgrind
+====
+
+When running programs using libdbus in Valgrind, some special care needs to be
+taken so as to avoid incorrect detection of leaks in libdbus. To avoid these
+false positives, do the following:
+
+* Grab a copy of the D-Bus source code
+
+* Run configure with the --enable-developer and --with-valgrind options
+
+* Run make
+
+* Either make sure your code calls dbus_shutdown() (at least while running in
+ Valgrind) or set DBUS_MESSAGE_CACHE=0 in your environment
+
+* Run Valgrind on your program with the /path/to/dbus/source/dbus/.libs in your
+ LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+
+Your Valgrind log should now be free of any (spurious) libdbus-related leaks.
+
+For the curious, the DBUS_MESSAGE_CACHE=0 is required because by
+default, libdbus uses a recyclable pool of message structs. These help
+performance a bit.

-
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-
-The \fIdbus\-cleanup\-sockets\fP command cleans up unused D\-Bus
-connection sockets. See http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/ for
-more information about the big picture.
-
-.PP
-If given no arguments, \fIdbus\-cleanup\-sockets\fP cleans up sockets
-in the standard default socket directory for the
-per\-user\-login\-session message bus; this is usually /tmp.
-Optionally, you can pass a different directory on the command line.
-
-.PP
-On Linux, this program is essentially useless, because D\-Bus defaults
-to using "abstract sockets" that exist only in memory and don't have a
-corresponding file in /tmp.
-
-.PP
-On most other flavors of UNIX, it's possible for the socket files to
-leak when programs using D\-Bus exit abnormally or without closing
-their D\-Bus connections. Thus, it might be interesting to run
-dbus\-cleanup\-sockets in a cron job to mop up any leaked sockets.
-Or you can just ignore the leaked sockets, they aren't really hurting
-anything, other than cluttering the output of "ls /tmp"

-.SH NAME
-dbus\-daemon \- Message bus daemon
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.PP
-.B dbus\-daemon
-dbus\-daemon [\-\-version] [\-\-session] [\-\-system] [\-\-config\-file=FILE]
-[\-\-print\-address[=DESCRIPTOR]] [\-\-print\-pid[=DESCRIPTOR]] [\-\-fork]
-
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-\fIdbus\-daemon\fP is the D\-Bus message bus daemon. See
-http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/ for more information about
-the big picture. D\-Bus is first a library that provides one\-to\-one
-communication between any two applications; \fIdbus\-daemon\fP is an
-application that uses this library to implement a message bus
-daemon. Multiple programs connect to the message bus daemon and can
-exchange messages with one another.
-.PP
-There are two standard message bus instances: the systemwide message bus
-(installed on many systems as the "messagebus" init service) and the
-per\-user\-login\-session message bus (started each time a user logs in).
-\fIdbus\-daemon\fP is used for both of these instances, but with
-a different configuration file.
-.PP
-The \-\-session option is equivalent to
-"\-\-config\-file=@EXPANDED_SYSCONFDIR@/dbus\-1/session.conf" and the \-\-system
-option is equivalent to
-"\-\-config\-file=@EXPANDED_SYSCONFDIR@/dbus\-1/system.conf". By creating
-additional configuration files and using the \-\-config\-file option,
-additional special\-purpose message bus daemons could be created.
-.PP
-The systemwide daemon is normally launched by an init script,
-standardly called simply "messagebus".
-.PP
-The systemwide daemon is largely used for broadcasting system events,
-such as changes to the printer queue, or adding/removing devices.
-.PP
-The per\-session daemon is used for various interprocess communication
-among desktop applications (however, it is not tied to X or the GUI
-in any way).
-.PP
-SIGHUP will cause the D\-Bus daemon to PARTIALLY reload its
-configuration file and to flush its user/group information caches. Some
-configuration changes would require kicking all apps off the bus; so they will
-only take effect if you restart the daemon. Policy changes should take effect
-with SIGHUP.
-
-.SH OPTIONS
-The following options are supported:
-.TP
-.I "\-\-config\-file=FILE"
-Use the given configuration file.
-.TP
-.I "\-\-fork"
-Force the message bus to fork and become a daemon, even if
-the configuration file does not specify that it should.
-In most contexts the configuration file already gets this
-right, though.
-.I "\-\-nofork"
-Force the message bus not to fork and become a daemon, even if
-the configuration file specifies that it should.
-.TP
-.I "\-\-print\-address[=DESCRIPTOR]"
-Print the address of the message bus to standard output, or
-to the given file descriptor. This is used by programs that
-launch the message bus.
-.TP
-.I "\-\-print\-pid[=DESCRIPTOR]"
-Print the process ID of the message bus to standard output, or
-to the given file descriptor. This is used by programs that
-launch the message bus.
-.TP
-.I "\-\-session"
-Use the standard configuration file for the per\-login\-session message
-bus.
-.TP
-.I "\-\-system"
-Use the standard configuration file for the systemwide message bus.
-.TP
-.I "\-\-version"
-Print the version of the daemon.
-.TP
-.I "\-\-introspect"
-Print the introspection information for all D\-Bus internal interfaces.
-.TP
-.I "\-\-address[=ADDRESS]"
-Set the address to listen on. This option overrides the address
-configured in the configuration file.
-.TP
-.I "\-\-systemd\-activation"
-Enable systemd\-style service activation. Only useful in conjunction
-with the systemd system and session manager on Linux.
-.TP
-.I "\-\-nopidfile"
-Don't write a PID file even if one is configured in the configuration
-files.
-
-.SH CONFIGURATION FILE
-
-A message bus daemon has a configuration file that specializes it
-for a particular application. For example, one configuration
-file might set up the message bus to be a systemwide message bus,
-while another might set it up to be a per\-user\-login\-session bus.
-.PP
-The configuration file also establishes resource limits, security
-parameters, and so forth.
-.PP
-The configuration file is not part of any interoperability
-specification and its backward compatibility is not guaranteed; this
-document is documentation, not specification.
-.PP
-The standard systemwide and per\-session message bus setups are
-configured in the files "@EXPANDED_SYSCONFDIR@/dbus\-1/system.conf" and
-"@EXPANDED_SYSCONFDIR@/dbus\-1/session.conf". These files normally
-<include> a system\-local.conf or session\-local.conf; you can put local
-overrides in those files to avoid modifying the primary configuration
-files.
-
-.PP
-The configuration file is an XML document. It must have the following
-doctype declaration:
-.nf
-
- <!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC "\-//freedesktop//DTD D\-Bus Bus Configuration 1.0//EN"
- "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd">
-
-.fi
-
-.PP
-The following elements may be present in the configuration file.
-
-.TP
-.I "<busconfig>"
-
-.PP
-Root element.
-
-.TP
-.I "<type>"
-
-.PP
-The well\-known type of the message bus. Currently known values are
-"system" and "session"; if other values are set, they should be
-either added to the D\-Bus specification, or namespaced. The last
-<type> element "wins" (previous values are ignored). This element
-only controls which message bus specific environment variables are
-set in activated clients. Most of the policy that distinguishes a
-session bus from the system bus is controlled from the other elements
-in the configuration file.
-
-.PP
-If the well\-known type of the message bus is "session", then the
-DBUS_STARTER_BUS_TYPE environment variable will be set to "session"
-and the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment variable will be set
-to the address of the session bus. Likewise, if the type of the
-message bus is "system", then the DBUS_STARTER_BUS_TYPE environment
-variable will be set to "system" and the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
-environment variable will be set to the address of the system bus
-(which is normally well known anyway).
-
-.PP
-Example: <type>session</type>
-
-.TP
-.I "<include>"
-
-.PP
-Include a file <include>filename.conf</include> at this point. If the
-filename is relative, it is located relative to the configuration file
-doing the including.
-
-.PP
-<include> has an optional attribute "ignore_missing=(yes|no)"
-which defaults to "no" if not provided. This attribute
-controls whether it's a fatal error for the included file
-to be absent.
-
-.TP
-.I "<includedir>"
-
-.PP
-Include all files in <includedir>foo.d</includedir> at this
-point. Files in the directory are included in undefined order.
-Only files ending in ".conf" are included.
-
-.PP
-This is intended to allow extension of the system bus by particular
-packages. For example, if CUPS wants to be able to send out
-notification of printer queue changes, it could install a file to
-@EXPANDED_SYSCONFDIR@/dbus\-1/system.d that allowed all apps to receive
-this message and allowed the printer daemon user to send it.
-
-.TP
-.I "<user>"
-
-.PP
-The user account the daemon should run as, as either a username or a
-UID. If the daemon cannot change to this UID on startup, it will exit.
-If this element is not present, the daemon will not change or care
-about its UID.
-
-.PP
-The last <user> entry in the file "wins", the others are ignored.
-
-.PP
-The user is changed after the bus has completed initialization. So
-sockets etc. will be created before changing user, but no data will be
-read from clients before changing user. This means that sockets
-and PID files can be created in a location that requires root
-privileges for writing.
-
-.TP
-.I "<fork>"
-
-.PP
-If present, the bus daemon becomes a real daemon (forks
-into the background, etc.). This is generally used
-rather than the \-\-fork command line option.
-
-.TP
-.I "<keep_umask>"
-
-.PP
-If present, the bus daemon keeps its original umask when forking.
-This may be useful to avoid affecting the behavior of child processes.
-
-.TP
-.I "<listen>"
-
-.PP
-Add an address that the bus should listen on. The
-address is in the standard D\-Bus format that contains
-a transport name plus possible parameters/options.
-
-.PP
-Example: <listen>unix:path=/tmp/foo</listen>
-
-.PP
-Example: <listen>tcp:host=localhost,port=1234</listen>
-
-.PP
-If there are multiple <listen> elements, then the bus listens
-on multiple addresses. The bus will pass its address to
-started services or other interested parties with
-the last address given in <listen> first. That is,
-apps will try to connect to the last <listen> address first.
-
-.PP
-tcp sockets can accept IPv4 addresses, IPv6 addresses or hostnames.
-If a hostname resolves to multiple addresses, the server will bind
-to all of them. The family=ipv4 or family=ipv6 options can be used
-to force it to bind to a subset of addresses
-
-.PP
-Example: <listen>tcp:host=localhost,port=0,family=ipv4</listen>
-
-.PP
-A special case is using a port number of zero (or omitting the port),
-which means to choose an available port selected by the operating
-system. The port number chosen can be obtained with the
-\-\-print\-address command line parameter and will be present in other
-cases where the server reports its own address, such as when
-DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is set.
-
-.PP
-Example: <listen>tcp:host=localhost,port=0</listen>
-
-.PP
-tcp addresses also allow a bind=hostname option, which will override
-the host option specifying what address to bind to, without changing
-the address reported by the bus. The bind option can also take a
-special name '*' to cause the bus to listen on all local address
-(INADDR_ANY). The specified host should be a valid name of the local
-machine or weird stuff will happen.
-
-.PP
-Example: <listen>tcp:host=localhost,bind=*,port=0</listen>
-
-.TP
-.I "<auth>"
-
-.PP
-Lists permitted authorization mechanisms. If this element doesn't
-exist, then all known mechanisms are allowed. If there are multiple
-<auth> elements, all the listed mechanisms are allowed. The order in
-which mechanisms are listed is not meaningful.
-
-.PP
-Example: <auth>EXTERNAL</auth>
-
-.PP
-Example: <auth>DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1</auth>
-
-.TP
-.I "<servicedir>"
-
-.PP
-Adds a directory to scan for .service files. Directories are
-scanned starting with the last to appear in the config file
-(the first .service file found that provides a particular
-service will be used).
-
-.PP
-Service files tell the bus how to automatically start a program.
-They are primarily used with the per\-user\-session bus,
-not the systemwide bus.
-
-.TP
-.I "<standard_session_servicedirs/>"
-
-.PP
-<standard_session_servicedirs/> is equivalent to specifying a series
-of <servicedir/> elements for each of the data directories in the "XDG
-Base Directory Specification" with the subdirectory "dbus\-1/services",
-so for example "/usr/share/dbus\-1/services" would be among the
-directories searched.
-
-.PP
-The "XDG Base Directory Specification" can be found at
-http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards/basedir\-spec if it hasn't moved,
-otherwise try your favorite search engine.
-
-.PP
-The <standard_session_servicedirs/> option is only relevant to the
-per\-user\-session bus daemon defined in
-@EXPANDED_SYSCONFDIR@/dbus\-1/session.conf. Putting it in any other
-configuration file would probably be nonsense.
-
-.TP
-.I "<standard_system_servicedirs/>"
-
-.PP
-<standard_system_servicedirs/> specifies the standard system\-wide
-activation directories that should be searched for service files.
-This option defaults to @EXPANDED_DATADIR@/dbus\-1/system\-services.
-
-.PP
-The <standard_system_servicedirs/> option is only relevant to the
-per\-system bus daemon defined in
-@EXPANDED_SYSCONFDIR@/dbus\-1/system.conf. Putting it in any other
-configuration file would probably be nonsense.
-
-.TP
-.I "<servicehelper/>"
-
-.PP
-<servicehelper/> specifies the setuid helper that is used to launch
-system daemons with an alternate user. Typically this should be
-the dbus\-daemon\-launch\-helper executable in located in libexec.
-
-.PP
-The <servicehelper/> option is only relevant to the per\-system bus daemon
-defined in @EXPANDED_SYSCONFDIR@/dbus\-1/system.conf. Putting it in any other
-configuration file would probably be nonsense.
-
-.TP
-.I "<limit>"
-
-.PP
-<limit> establishes a resource limit. For example:
-.nf
- <limit name="max_message_size">64</limit>
- <limit name="max_completed_connections">512</limit>
-.fi
-
-.PP
-The name attribute is mandatory.
-Available limit names are:
-.nf
- "max_incoming_bytes" : total size in bytes of messages
- incoming from a single connection
- "max_incoming_unix_fds" : total number of unix fds of messages
- incoming from a single connection
- "max_outgoing_bytes" : total size in bytes of messages
- queued up for a single connection
- "max_outgoing_unix_fds" : total number of unix fds of messages
- queued up for a single connection
- "max_message_size" : max size of a single message in
- bytes
- "max_message_unix_fds" : max unix fds of a single message
- "service_start_timeout" : milliseconds (thousandths) until
- a started service has to connect
- "auth_timeout" : milliseconds (thousandths) a
- connection is given to
- authenticate
- "max_completed_connections" : max number of authenticated connections
- "max_incomplete_connections" : max number of unauthenticated
- connections
- "max_connections_per_user" : max number of completed connections from
- the same user
- "max_pending_service_starts" : max number of service launches in
- progress at the same time
- "max_names_per_connection" : max number of names a single
- connection can own
- "max_match_rules_per_connection": max number of match rules for a single
- connection
- "max_replies_per_connection" : max number of pending method
- replies per connection
- (number of calls\-in\-progress)
- "reply_timeout" : milliseconds (thousandths)
- until a method call times out
-.fi
-
-.PP
-The max incoming/outgoing queue sizes allow a new message to be queued
-if one byte remains below the max. So you can in fact exceed the max
-by max_message_size.
-
-.PP
-max_completed_connections divided by max_connections_per_user is the
-number of users that can work together to denial\-of\-service all other users by using
-up all connections on the systemwide bus.
-
-.PP
-Limits are normally only of interest on the systemwide bus, not the user session
-buses.
-
-.TP
-.I "<policy>"
-
-.PP
-The <policy> element defines a security policy to be applied to a particular
-set of connections to the bus. A policy is made up of
-<allow> and <deny> elements. Policies are normally used with the systemwide bus;
-they are analogous to a firewall in that they allow expected traffic
-and prevent unexpected traffic.
-
-.PP
-Currently, the system bus has a default\-deny policy for sending method calls
-and owning bus names. Everything else, in particular reply messages, receive
-checks, and signals has a default allow policy.
-
-.PP
-In general, it is best to keep system services as small, targeted programs which
-run in their own process and provide a single bus name. Then, all that is needed
-is an <allow> rule for the "own" permission to let the process claim the bus
-name, and a "send_destination" rule to allow traffic from some or all uids to
-your service.
-
-.PP
-The <policy> element has one of four attributes:
-.nf
- context="(default|mandatory)"
- at_console="(true|false)"
- user="username or userid"
- group="group name or gid"
-.fi
-
-.PP
-Policies are applied to a connection as follows:

- \- all user="connection's auth user" policies are applied
- in undefined order
- \- all at_console="true" policies are applied
- \- all at_console="false" policies are applied
- \- all context="mandatory" policies are applied
-.fi
-
-.PP
-Policies applied later will override those applied earlier,
-when the policies overlap. Multiple policies with the same
-user/group/context are applied in the order they appear
-in the config file.
-
-.TP
-.I "<deny>"
-.I "<allow>"
-
-.PP
-A <deny> element appears below a <policy> element and prohibits some
-action. The <allow> element makes an exception to previous <deny>
-statements, and works just like <deny> but with the inverse meaning.
-
-.PP
-The possible attributes of these elements are:
-.nf
- send_interface="interface_name"
- send_member="method_or_signal_name"
- send_error="error_name"
- send_destination="name"
- send_type="method_call" | "method_return" | "signal" | "error"
- send_path="/path/name"
-
- receive_interface="interface_name"
- receive_member="method_or_signal_name"
- receive_error="error_name"
- receive_sender="name"
- receive_type="method_call" | "method_return" | "signal" | "error"
- receive_path="/path/name"
-
- send_requested_reply="true" | "false"
- receive_requested_reply="true" | "false"
-
- eavesdrop="true" | "false"
-
- own="name"
- own_prefix="name"
- user="username"
- group="groupname"
-.fi
-
-.PP
-Examples:
-.nf
- <deny send_destination="org.freedesktop.Service" send_interface="org.freedesktop.System" send_member="Reboot"/>
- <deny send_destination="org.freedesktop.System"/>
- <deny receive_sender="org.freedesktop.System"/>
- <deny user="john"/>
- <deny group="enemies"/>
-.fi
-
-.PP
-The <deny> element's attributes determine whether the deny "matches" a
-particular action. If it matches, the action is denied (unless later
-rules in the config file allow it).
-.PP
-send_destination and receive_sender rules mean that messages may not be
-sent to or received from the *owner* of the given name, not that
-they may not be sent *to that name*. That is, if a connection
-owns services A, B, C, and sending to A is denied, sending to B or C
-will not work either.
-.PP
-The other send_* and receive_* attributes are purely textual/by\-value
-matches against the given field in the message header.
-.PP
-"Eavesdropping" occurs when an application receives a message that
-was explicitly addressed to a name the application does not own, or
-is a reply to such a message. Eavesdropping thus only applies to
-messages that are addressed to services and replies to such messages
-(i.e. it does not apply to signals).
-.PP
-For <allow>, eavesdrop="true" indicates that the rule matches even
-when eavesdropping. eavesdrop="false" is the default and means that
-the rule only allows messages to go to their specified recipient.
-For <deny>, eavesdrop="true" indicates that the rule matches
-only when eavesdropping. eavesdrop="false" is the default for <deny>
-also, but here it means that the rule applies always, even when
-not eavesdropping. The eavesdrop attribute can only be combined with
-send and receive rules (with send_* and receive_* attributes).
-.PP
-The [send|receive]_requested_reply attribute works similarly to the eavesdrop
-attribute. It controls whether the <deny> or <allow> matches a reply
-that is expected (corresponds to a previous method call message).
-This attribute only makes sense for reply messages (errors and method
-returns), and is ignored for other message types.
-
-.PP
-For <allow>, [send|receive]_requested_reply="true" is the default and indicates that
-only requested replies are allowed by the
-rule. [send|receive]_requested_reply="false" means that the rule allows any reply
-even if unexpected.
-
-.PP
-For <deny>, [send|receive]_requested_reply="false" is the default but indicates that
-the rule matches only when the reply was not
-requested. [send|receive]_requested_reply="true" indicates that the rule applies
-always, regardless of pending reply state.
-
-.PP
-user and group denials mean that the given user or group may
-not connect to the message bus.
-
-.PP
-For "name", "username", "groupname", etc.
-the character "*" can be substituted, meaning "any." Complex globs
-like "foo.bar.*" aren't allowed for now because they'd be work to
-implement and maybe encourage sloppy security anyway.
-
-.PP
-<allow own_prefix="a.b"/> allows you to own the name "a.b" or any
-name whose first dot-separated elements are "a.b": in particular,
-you can own "a.b.c" or "a.b.c.d", but not "a.bc" or "a.c".
-This is useful when services like Telepathy and ReserveDevice
-define a meaning for subtrees of well-known names, such as
-org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ConnectionManager.(anything)
-and org.freedesktop.ReserveDevice1.(anything).
-
-.PP
-It does not make sense to deny a user or group inside a <policy>
-for a user or group; user/group denials can only be inside
-context="default" or context="mandatory" policies.
-
-.PP
-A single <deny> rule may specify combinations of attributes such as
-send_destination and send_interface and send_type. In this case, the
-denial applies only if both attributes match the message being denied.
-e.g. <deny send_interface="foo.bar" send_destination="foo.blah"/> would
-deny messages with the given interface AND the given bus name.
-To get an OR effect you specify multiple <deny> rules.
-
-.PP
-You can't include both send_ and receive_ attributes on the same
-rule, since "whether the message can be sent" and "whether it can be
-received" are evaluated separately.
-
-.PP
-Be careful with send_interface/receive_interface, because the
-interface field in messages is optional. In particular, do NOT
-specify <deny send_interface="org.foo.Bar"/>! This will cause
-no\-interface messages to be blocked for all services, which is
-almost certainly not what you intended. Always use rules of
-the form: <deny send_interface="org.foo.Bar" send_destination="org.foo.Service"/>
-
-.TP
-.I "<selinux>"
-
-.PP
-The <selinux> element contains settings related to Security Enhanced Linux.
-More details below.
-
-.TP
-.I "<associate>"
-
-.PP
-An <associate> element appears below an <selinux> element and
-creates a mapping. Right now only one kind of association is possible:
-.nf
- <associate own="org.freedesktop.Foobar" context="foo_t"/>
-.fi
-
-.PP
-This means that if a connection asks to own the name
-"org.freedesktop.Foobar" then the source context will be the context
-of the connection and the target context will be "foo_t" \- see the
-short discussion of SELinux below.
-
-.PP
-Note, the context here is the target context when requesting a name,
-NOT the context of the connection owning the name.
-
-.PP
-There's currently no way to set a default for owning any name, if
-we add this syntax it will look like:
-.nf
- <associate own="*" context="foo_t"/>
-.fi
-If you find a reason this is useful, let the developers know.
-Right now the default will be the security context of the bus itself.
-
-.PP
-If two <associate> elements specify the same name, the element
-appearing later in the configuration file will be used.
-
-.SH SELinux
-
-.PP
-See http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/ for full details on SELinux. Some useful excerpts:
-
-.IP "" 8
-Every subject (process) and object (e.g. file, socket, IPC object,
-etc) in the system is assigned a collection of security attributes,
-known as a security context. A security context contains all of the
-security attributes associated with a particular subject or object
-that are relevant to the security policy.
-
-.IP "" 8
-In order to better encapsulate security contexts and to provide
-greater efficiency, the policy enforcement code of SELinux typically
-handles security identifiers (SIDs) rather than security contexts. A
-SID is an integer that is mapped by the security server to a security
-context at runtime.
-
-.IP "" 8
-When a security decision is required, the policy enforcement code
-passes a pair of SIDs (typically the SID of a subject and the SID of
-an object, but sometimes a pair of subject SIDs or a pair of object
-SIDs), and an object security class to the security server. The object
-security class indicates the kind of object, e.g. a process, a regular
-file, a directory, a TCP socket, etc.
-
-.IP "" 8
-Access decisions specify whether or not a permission is granted for a
-given pair of SIDs and class. Each object class has a set of
-associated permissions defined to control operations on objects with
-that class.
-
-.PP
-D\-Bus performs SELinux security checks in two places.
-
-.PP
-First, any time a message is routed from one connection to another
-connection, the bus daemon will check permissions with the security context of
-the first connection as source, security context of the second connection
-as target, object class "dbus" and requested permission "send_msg".
-
-.PP
-If a security context is not available for a connection
-(impossible when using UNIX domain sockets), then the target
-context used is the context of the bus daemon itself.
-There is currently no way to change this default, because we're
-assuming that only UNIX domain sockets will be used to
-connect to the systemwide bus. If this changes, we'll
-probably add a way to set the default connection context.
-
-.PP
-Second, any time a connection asks to own a name,
-the bus daemon will check permissions with the security
-context of the connection as source, the security context specified
-for the name in the config file as target, object
-class "dbus" and requested permission "acquire_svc".
-
-.PP
-The security context for a bus name is specified with the
-<associate> element described earlier in this document.
-If a name has no security context associated in the
-configuration file, the security context of the bus daemon
-itself will be used.
-
-.SH DEBUGGING
-
-.PP
-If you're trying to figure out where your messages are going or why
-you aren't getting messages, there are several things you can try.
-.PP
-Remember that the system bus is heavily locked down and if you
-haven't installed a security policy file to allow your message
-through, it won't work. For the session bus, this is not a concern.
-.PP
-The simplest way to figure out what's happening on the bus is to run
-the \fIdbus\-monitor\fP program, which comes with the D\-Bus
-package. You can also send test messages with \fIdbus\-send\fP. These
-programs have their own man pages.
-.PP
-If you want to know what the daemon itself is doing, you might consider
-running a separate copy of the daemon to test against. This will allow you
-to put the daemon under a debugger, or run it with verbose output, without
-messing up your real session and system daemons.
-.PP
-To run a separate test copy of the daemon, for example you might open a terminal
-and type:
-.nf
- DBUS_VERBOSE=1 dbus\-daemon \-\-session \-\-print\-address
-.fi
-.PP
-The test daemon address will be printed when the daemon starts. You will need
-to copy\-and\-paste this address and use it as the value of the
-DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment variable when you launch the applications
-you want to test. This will cause those applications to connect to your
-test bus instead of the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS of your real session bus.
-.PP
-DBUS_VERBOSE=1 will have NO EFFECT unless your copy of D\-Bus
-was compiled with verbose mode enabled. This is not recommended in
-production builds due to performance impact. You may need to rebuild
-D\-Bus if your copy was not built with debugging in mind. (DBUS_VERBOSE
-also affects the D\-Bus library and thus applications using D\-Bus; it may
-be useful to see verbose output on both the client side and from the daemon.)
-.PP
-If you want to get fancy, you can create a custom bus
-configuration for your test bus (see the session.conf and system.conf
-files that define the two default configurations for example). This
-would allow you to specify a different directory for .service files,
-for example.

- What is the difference between a bus name, and object path,

- </p></td></tr><tr class="answer"><td align="left" valign="top"></td><td align="left" valign="top"><p>
- If you imagine a C++ program that implements a network service, then
- the bus name is the hostname of the computer running this C++ program,
- the object path is a C++ object instance pointer, and an interface is
- a C++ class (a pure virtual or abstract class, to be exact).
- </p><p>
- In Java terms, the object path is an object reference,
- and an interface is a Java interface.
- </p><p>
- People get confused because if they write an application
- with a single object instance and a single interface,
- then the bus name, object path, and interface look
- redundant. For example, you might have a text editor
- that uses the bus name <code class="literal">org.freedesktop.TextEditor</code>,
- has a global singleton object called
- <code class="literal">/org/freedesktop/TextEditor</code>, and
- that singleton object could implement the interface
- <code class="literal">org.freedesktop.TextEditor</code>.
- </p><p>
- However, a text editor application could as easily own multiple bus
- names (for example, <code class="literal">org.kde.KWrite</code> in addition to
- generic <code class="literal">TextEditor</code>), have multiple objects (maybe
- <code class="literal">/org/kde/documents/4352</code> where the number changes
- according to the document), and each object could implement multiple
- interfaces, such as <code class="literal">org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable</code>,
- <code class="literal">org.freedesktop.BasicTextField</code>,
- <code class="literal">org.kde.RichTextDocument</code>.

- A service is a program that can be launched by the bus daemon

- </p></td></tr><tr class="answer"><td align="left" valign="top"></td><td align="left" valign="top"><p>
- It helps to keep these concepts separate in your mind:
- </p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="1"><li class="listitem"><p>
- Object/component system
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- GUI control/widget embedding interfaces
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>

- </p><p>
- D-Bus is not a component system. "Component system" was originally
- defined by COM, and was essentially a workaround for the limitations
- of the C++ object system (adding introspection, runtime location of
- objects, ABI guarantees, and so forth). With the C# language and CLR,
- Microsoft added these features to the primary object system, leaving
- COM obsolete. Similarly, Java has much less need for something like
- COM than C++ did. Even QObject (from Qt) and GObject (from GLib) offer
- some of the same features found in COM.
- </p><p>
- Component systems are not about GUI control embedding. Embedding
- a spreadsheet in a word processor document is a matter of defining
- some specific <span class="emphasis"><em>interfaces</em></span> that objects
- can implement. These interfaces provide methods related to
- GUI controls. So an object implementing those interfaces
- can be embedded.
- </p><p>
- The word "component" just means "object with some fancy features" and
- in modern languages all objects are effectively "components."
- </p><p>
- So components are fancy objects, and some objects are GUI controls.
- </p><p>
- A third, unrelated feature is interprocess communication or IPC.
- D-Bus is an IPC system. Given an object (or "component" if you must),
- you can expose the functionality of that object over an IPC system.
- Examples of IPC systems are DCOM, CORBA, SOAP, XML-RPC, and D-Bus.
- You can use any of these IPC systems with any object/component system,
- though some of them are "tuned" for specific object systems.
- You can think of an IPC system primarily as a wire protocol.
- </p><p>
- If you combine an IPC system with a set of GUI control interfaces,
- then you can have an out-of-process or dynamically-loaded GUI control.
- </p><p>
- Another related concept is the <em class="firstterm">plugin</em> or
- <em class="firstterm">extension</em>. Generic plugin systems such as the
- <a class="ulink" href="http://eclipse.org" target="_top">Eclipse</a> system are not so different
- from component/object systems, though perhaps a "plugin" tends to be a
- bundle of objects with a user-visible name and can be
- downloaded/packaged as a unit.

- <a class="ulink" href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/pipermail/dbus/2004-November/001779.html" target="_top">
- This mail</a> contains some benchmarking. At the time of that
- benchmark, D-Bus one-to-one communication was about 2.5x slower than
- simply pushing the data raw over a socket. After the recent rewrite of
- the marshaling code, D-Bus is slower than that because a lot of
- optimization work was lost. But it can probably be sped up again.
- </p><p>
- D-Bus communication with the intermediate bus daemon should be
- (and as last profiled, was) about twice as slow as one-to-one
- mode, because a round trip involves four socket reads/writes rather
- than two socket reads/writes.
- </p><p>
- The overhead comes from a couple of places; part of it is simply
- "abstraction penalty" (there are layers of code to support
- multiple main loops, multiple transport types, security, etc.).
- Probably the largest part comes from data validation
- (because the reference implementation does not trust incoming data).
- It would be simple to add a "no validation" mode, but probably
- not a good idea all things considered.
- </p><p>
- Raw bandwidth isn't the only concern; D-Bus is designed to
- enable asynchronous communication and avoid round trips.

- Keep in mind, it is not only an IPC system; it also includes

- </p><p>
- The D-Bus authors would not recommend using D-Bus

- The following questions compare D-Bus to some other

- Start by reading <a class="xref" href="#other-ipc" title="9.">Q: 9</a>.
- </p><p>
- <a class="ulink" href="http://www.omg.org" target="_top">CORBA</a> is designed to support
- object-oriented IPC between objects, automatically marshalling
- parameters as necessary. CORBA is strongly supported by the <a class="ulink" href="http://www.omg.org" target="_top">Open Management Group (OMG)</a>, which
- produces various standards and supporting documents for CORBA and has
- the backing of many large organizations. There are many CORBA ORBs
- available, both proprietary ORBs and free / open source software ORBs
- (the latter include <a class="ulink" href="http://orbit-resource.sourceforge.net/" target="_top">ORBit</a>, <a class="ulink" href="http://www.mico.org/" target="_top">MICO</a>, and <a class="ulink" href="http://www.theaceorb.com/" target="_top">The ACE Orb (TAO)</a>). Many
- organizations continue to use CORBA ORBs for various kinds of IPC.
- </p><p>
- Both GNOME and KDE have used CORBA and then moved away from it. KDE
- had more success with a system called DCOP, and GNOME layered a system
- called Bonobo on top of CORBA. Without custom extensions, CORBA does
- not support many of the things one wants to do in a desktop
- environment with the GNOME/KDE architecture.
- </p><p>
- CORBA on the other hand has a number of features of interest for
- enterprise and web application development, though XML systems such as
- SOAP are the latest fad.
- </p><p>
- Like D-Bus, CORBA uses a fast binary protocol (IIOP). Both systems
- work in terms of objects and methods, and have concepts such as
- "oneway" calls. Only D-Bus has direct support for "signals" as in
- GLib/Qt (or Java listeners, or C# delegates).
- </p><p>
- D-Bus hardcodes and specifies a lot of things that CORBA leaves open-ended,
- because CORBA is more generic and D-Bus has two specific use-cases in mind.
- This makes D-Bus a bit simpler.
- </p><p>
- However, unlike CORBA D-Bus does <span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span> specify the
- API for the language bindings. Instead, "native" bindings adapted
- specifically to the conventions of a framework such as QObject,
- GObject, C#, Java, Python, etc. are encouraged. The libdbus reference
- implementation is designed to be a backend for bindings of this
- nature, rather than to be used directly. The rationale is that an IPC
- system API should not "leak" all over a program; it should come into
- play only just before data goes over the wire. As an aside, OMG is
- apparently working on a simpler C++ binding for CORBA.
- </p><p>
- Many CORBA implementations such as ORBit are faster than the libdbus
- reference implementation. One reason is that D-Bus considers data
- from the other end of the connection to be untrusted and extensively
- validates it. But generally speaking other priorities were placed
- ahead of raw speed in the libdbus implementation. A fast D-Bus
- implementation along the lines of ORBit should be possible, of course.
- </p><p>
- On a more trivial note, D-Bus involves substantially fewer acronyms
- than CORBA.

-.SH NAME
-dbus\-launch \- Utility to start a message bus from a shell script
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.PP
-.B dbus\-launch [\-\-version] [\-\-sh\-syntax] [\-\-csh\-syntax] [\-\-auto\-syntax] [\-\-exit\-with\-session] [\-\-autolaunch=MACHINEID] [\-\-config\-file=FILENAME] [PROGRAM] [ARGS...]
-
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-
-The \fIdbus\-launch\fP command is used to start a session bus
-instance of \fIdbus\-daemon\fP from a shell script.
-It would normally be called from a user's login
-scripts. Unlike the daemon itself, \fIdbus\-launch\fP exits, so
-backticks or the $() construct can be used to read information from
-\fIdbus\-launch\fP.
-
-With no arguments, \fIdbus\-launch\fP will launch a session bus
-instance and print the address and PID of that instance to standard
-output.
-
-You may specify a program to be run; in this case, \fIdbus\-launch\fP
-will launch a session bus instance, set the appropriate environment
-variables so the specified program can find the bus, and then execute the
-specified program, with the specified arguments. See below for
-examples.
-
-If you launch a program, \fIdbus\-launch\fP will not print the
-information about the new bus to standard output.
-
-When \fIdbus\-launch\fP prints bus information to standard output, by
-default it is in a simple key\-value pairs format. However, you may
-request several alternate syntaxes using the \-\-sh\-syntax, \-\-csh\-syntax,
-\-\-binary\-syntax, or
-\-\-auto\-syntax options. Several of these cause \fIdbus\-launch\fP to emit shell code
-to set up the environment.
-
-With the \-\-auto\-syntax option, \fIdbus\-launch\fP looks at the value
-of the SHELL environment variable to determine which shell syntax
-should be used. If SHELL ends in "csh", then csh\-compatible code is
-emitted; otherwise Bourne shell code is emitted. Instead of passing
-\-\-auto\-syntax, you may explicitly specify a particular one by using
-\-\-sh\-syntax for Bourne syntax, or \-\-csh\-syntax for csh syntax.
-In scripts, it's more robust to avoid \-\-auto\-syntax and you hopefully
-know which shell your script is written in.
-
-.PP
-See http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/ for more information
-about D\-Bus. See also the man page for \fIdbus\-daemon\fP.
-
-.SH EXAMPLES
-
-Distributions running
-.B dbus\-launch
-as part of a standard X session should run
-.B "dbus\-launch \-\-exit\-with\-session"
-after the X server has started and become available, as a wrapper around
-the "main" X client (typically a session manager or window manager), as in
-these examples:
-
-.RS
-.B "dbus\-launch \-\-exit\-with\-session gnome\-session"
-
-.B "dbus\-launch \-\-exit\-with\-session openbox"
-
-.B "dbus\-launch \-\-exit\-with\-session ~/.xsession"
-.RE
-
-If your distribution does not do this, you can achieve similar results
-by running your session or window manager in the same way in a script
-run by your X session, such as
-.BR ~/.xsession ,
-.B ~/.xinitrc
-or
-.BR ~/.Xclients .
-
-To start a D-Bus session within a text-mode session, you can run
-dbus-launch in the background. For instance, in a sh-compatible shell:
-
-.nf
- ## test for an existing bus daemon, just to be safe
- if test \-z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" ; then
- ## if not found, launch a new one
- eval `dbus\-launch \-\-sh\-syntax`
- echo "D\-Bus per\-session daemon address is: $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"
- fi
-.fi
-Note that in this case, dbus-launch will exit, and dbus-daemon will not be
-terminated automatically on logout.
-
-.SH AUTOMATIC LAUNCHING
-
-.PP
-If DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is not set for a process that tries to use
-D\-Bus, by default the process will attempt to invoke dbus\-launch with
-the \-\-autolaunch option to start up a new session bus or find the
-existing bus address on the X display or in a file in
-~/.dbus/session\-bus/
-
-.PP
-Whenever an autolaunch occurs, the application that had to
-start a new bus will be in its own little world; it can effectively
-end up starting a whole new session if it tries to use a lot of
-bus services. This can be suboptimal or even totally broken, depending
-on the app and what it tries to do.
-
-.PP
-There are two common reasons for autolaunch. One is ssh to a remote
-machine. The ideal fix for that would be forwarding of
-DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS in the same way that DISPLAY is forwarded.
-In the meantime, you can edit the session.conf config file to
-have your session bus listen on TCP, and manually set
-DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS, if you like.
-
-.PP
-The second common reason for autolaunch is an su to another user, and
-display of X applications running as the second user on the display
-belonging to the first user. Perhaps the ideal fix in this case
-would be to allow the second user to connect to the session bus of the
-first user, just as they can connect to the first user's display.
-However, a mechanism for that has not been coded.
-
-.PP
-You can always avoid autolaunch by manually setting
-DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS. Autolaunch happens because the default
-address if none is set is "autolaunch:", so if any other address is
-set there will be no autolaunch. You can however include autolaunch in
-an explicit session bus address as a fallback, for example
-DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="something:,autolaunch:" \- in that case if
-the first address doesn't work, processes will autolaunch. (The bus
-address variable contains a comma\-separated list of addresses to try.)
-
-.PP
-The \-\-autolaunch option is considered an internal implementation
-detail of libdbus, and in fact there are plans to change it. There's
-no real reason to use it outside of the libdbus implementation anyhow.
-
-.SH OPTIONS
-The following options are supported:
-.TP
-.I "\-\-auto\-syntax"
-Choose \-\-csh\-syntax or \-\-sh\-syntax based on the SHELL environment variable.
-
-.I "\-\-binary\-syntax"
-Write to stdout a nul\-terminated bus address, then the bus PID as a
-binary integer of size sizeof(pid_t), then the bus X window ID as a
-binary integer of size sizeof(long). Integers are in the machine's
-byte order, not network byte order or any other canonical byte order.
-
-.TP
-.I "\-\-close\-stderr"
-Close the standard error output stream before starting the D\-Bus
-daemon. This is useful if you want to capture dbus\-launch error
-messages but you don't want dbus\-daemon to keep the stream open to
-your application.
-
-.TP
-.I "\-\-config\-file=FILENAME"
-Pass \-\-config\-file=FILENAME to the bus daemon, instead of passing it
-the \-\-session argument. See the man page for dbus\-daemon
-
-.TP
-.I "\-\-csh\-syntax"
-Emit csh compatible code to set up environment variables.
-
-.TP
-.I "\-\-exit\-with\-session"
-If this option is provided, a persistent "babysitter" process will be
-created that watches stdin for HUP and tries to connect to the X
-server. If this process gets a HUP on stdin or loses its X connection,
-it kills the message bus daemon.
-
-.TP
-.I "\-\-autolaunch=MACHINEID"
-This option implies that \fIdbus\-launch\fP should scan for a
-previously\-started session and reuse the values found there. If no
-session is found, it will start a new session. The
-\-\-exit\-with\-session option is implied if \-\-autolaunch is given.
-This option is for the exclusive use of libdbus, you do not want to
-use it manually. It may change in the future.
-
-.TP
-.I "\-\-sh\-syntax"
-Emit Bourne\-shell compatible code to set up environment variables.
-
-.TP
-.I "\-\-version"
-Print the version of dbus\-launch
-
-.SH NOTES
-
-If you run
-.B "dbus\-launch myapp"
-(with any other options), dbus\-daemon will
-.I not
-exit when
-.B myapp
-terminates: this is because
-.B myapp
-is assumed to be part of a larger session, rather than a session in its
-own right.

-[\-\-system | \-\-session | \-\-address ADDRESS] [\-\-profile | \-\-monitor]
-[watch expressions]
-
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-
-The \fIdbus\-monitor\fP command is used to monitor messages going
-through a D\-Bus message bus. See
-http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/ for more information about
-the big picture.
-
-.PP
-There are two well\-known message buses: the systemwide message bus
-(installed on many systems as the "messagebus" service) and the
-per\-user\-login\-session message bus (started each time a user logs in).
-The \-\-system and \-\-session options direct \fIdbus\-monitor\fP to
-monitor the system or session buses respectively. If neither is
-specified, \fIdbus\-monitor\fP monitors the session bus.
-
-.PP
-\fIdbus\-monitor\fP has two different output modes, the 'classic'\-style
-monitoring mode and profiling mode. The profiling format is a compact
-format with a single line per message and microsecond\-resolution timing
-information. The \-\-profile and \-\-monitor options select the profiling
-and monitoring output format respectively. If neither is specified,
-\fIdbus\-monitor\fP uses the monitoring output format.
-
-.PP
-In order to get \fIdbus\-monitor\fP to see the messages you are interested
-in, you should specify a set of watch expressions as you would expect to
-be passed to the \fIdbus_bus_add_match\fP function.
-
-.PP
-The message bus configuration may keep \fIdbus\-monitor\fP from seeing
-all messages, especially if you run the monitor as a non\-root user.
-
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP
-.I "\-\-system"
-Monitor the system message bus.
-.TP
-.I "\-\-session"
-Monitor the session message bus. (This is the default.)
-.TP
-.I "\-\-address ADDRESS"
-Monitor an arbitrary message bus given at ADDRESS.
-.TP
-.I "\-\-profile"
-Use the profiling output format.
-.TP
-.I "\-\-monitor"
-Use the monitoring output format. (This is the default.)
-
-.SH EXAMPLE
-Here is an example of using dbus\-monitor to watch for the gnome typing
-monitor to say things

-
- dbus\-monitor "type='signal',sender='org.gnome.TypingMonitor',interface='org.gnome.TypingMonitor'"

-
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-
-The \fIdbus\-send\fP command is used to send a message to a D\-Bus message
-bus. See http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/ for more
-information about the big picture.
-
-.PP
-There are two well\-known message buses: the systemwide message bus
-(installed on many systems as the "messagebus" service) and the
-per\-user\-login\-session message bus (started each time a user logs in).
-The \fB\-\-system\fP and \fB\-\-session\fP options direct
-\fBdbus\-send\fP to send messages to the system or session buses respectively.
-If neither is specified, \fBdbus\-send\fP sends to the session bus.
-
-.PP
-Nearly all uses of \fBdbus\-send\fP must provide the \fB\-\-dest\fP argument
-which is the name of a connection on the bus to send the message to. If
-\fB\-\-dest\fP is omitted, no destination is set.
-
-.PP
-The object path and the name of the message to send must always be
-specified. Following arguments, if any, are the message contents
-(message arguments). These are given as type\-specified values and
-may include containers (arrays, dicts, and variants) as described below.
-
-.nf
-<contents> ::= <item> | <container> [ <item> | <container>...]
-<item> ::= <type>:<value>
-<container> ::= <array> | <dict> | <variant>
-<array> ::= array:<type>:<value>[,<value>...]
-<dict> ::= dict:<type>:<type>:<key>,<value>[,<key>,<value>...]
-<variant> ::= variant:<type>:<value>
-<type> ::= string | int16 | uint 16 | int32 | uint32 | int64 | uint64 | double | byte | boolean | objpath
-.fi
-
-D\-Bus supports more types than these, but \fBdbus\-send\fP currently
-does not. Also, \fBdbus\-send\fP does not permit empty containers
-or nested containers (e.g. arrays of variants).
-
-.PP
-Here is an example invocation:
-.nf
-
- dbus\-send \-\-dest=org.freedesktop.ExampleName \\
- /org/freedesktop/sample/object/name \\
- org.freedesktop.ExampleInterface.ExampleMethod \\
- int32:47 string:'hello world' double:65.32 \\
- array:string:"1st item","next item","last item" \\

-Send to the system message bus.
-.TP
-.B "\-\-session"
-Send to the session message bus. (This is the default.)
-.TP
-.BI \-\-type= TYPE
-Specify \fBmethod_call\fP or \fBsignal\fP (defaults to "\fBsignal\fP").

- D-Bus is a system for low-latency, low-overhead, easy to use
- interprocess communication (IPC). In more detail:
- </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>
- D-Bus is <span class="emphasis"><em>low-latency</em></span> because it is designed
- to avoid round trips and allow asynchronous operation, much like
- the X protocol.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- D-Bus is <span class="emphasis"><em>low-overhead</em></span> because it uses a
- binary protocol, and does not have to convert to and from a text
- format such as XML. Because D-Bus is intended for potentially
- high-resolution same-machine IPC, not primarily for Internet IPC,
- this is an interesting optimization.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- D-Bus is <span class="emphasis"><em>easy to use</em></span> because it works in terms
- of <em class="firstterm">messages</em> rather than byte streams, and
- automatically handles a lot of the hard IPC issues. Also, the D-Bus
- library is designed to be wrapped in a way that lets developers use
- their framework's existing object/type system, rather than learning
- a new one specifically for IPC.
- </p></li></ul></div><p>
- </p><p>
- The base D-Bus protocol is a one-to-one (peer-to-peer or client-server)
- protocol, specified in <a class="xref" href="#message-protocol" title="Message Protocol">the section called &#8220;Message Protocol&#8221;</a>. That is, it is
- a system for one application to talk to a single other
- application. However, the primary intended application of the protocol is the
- D-Bus <em class="firstterm">message bus</em>, specified in <a class="xref" href="#message-bus" title="Message Bus Specification">the section called &#8220;Message Bus Specification&#8221;</a>. The message bus is a special application that
- accepts connections from multiple other applications, and forwards
- messages among them.
- </p><p>
- Uses of D-Bus include notification of system changes (notification of when
- a camera is plugged in to a computer, or a new version of some software
- has been installed), or desktop interoperability, for example a file
- monitoring service or a configuration service.
- </p><p>
- D-Bus is designed for two specific use cases:
- </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>
- A "system bus" for notifications from the system to user sessions,
- and to allow the system to request input from user sessions.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- A "session bus" used to implement desktop environments such as
- GNOME and KDE.
- </p></li></ul></div><p>
- D-Bus is not intended to be a generic IPC system for any possible
- application, and intentionally omits many features found in other
- IPC systems for this reason.
- </p><p>
- At the same time, the bus daemons offer a number of features not found in
- other IPC systems, such as single-owner "bus names" (similar to X
- selections), on-demand startup of services, and security policies.
- In many ways, these features are the primary motivation for developing
- D-Bus; other systems would have sufficed if IPC were the only goal.
- </p><p>
- D-Bus may turn out to be useful in unanticipated applications, but future
- versions of this spec and the reference implementation probably will not
- incorporate features that interfere with the core use cases.
- </p><p>
- The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
- "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
- document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119. However, the
- document could use a serious audit to be sure it makes sense to do
- so. Also, they are not capitalized.
- </p><div class="sect2" title="Protocol and Specification Stability"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="stability"></a>Protocol and Specification Stability</h3></div></div></div><p>
- The D-Bus protocol is frozen (only compatible extensions are allowed) as
- of November 8, 2006. However, this specification could still use a fair
- bit of work to make interoperable reimplementation possible without
- reference to the D-Bus reference implementation. Thus, this
- specification is not marked 1.0. To mark it 1.0, we'd like to see
- someone invest significant effort in clarifying the specification
- language, and growing the specification to cover more aspects of the
- reference implementation's behavior.
- </p><p>
- Until this work is complete, any attempt to reimplement D-Bus will
- probably require looking at the reference implementation and/or asking
- questions on the D-Bus mailing list about intended behavior.
- Questions on the list are very welcome.

- D-Bus has a type system, in which values of various types can be
- serialized into a sequence of bytes referred to as the
- <em class="firstterm">wire format</em> in a standard way.
- Converting a value from some other representation into the wire
- format is called <em class="firstterm">marshaling</em> and converting
- it back from the wire format is <em class="firstterm">unmarshaling</em>.
- </p><div class="sect2" title="Type Signatures"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="message-protocol-signatures"></a>Type Signatures</h3></div></div></div><p>
- The D-Bus protocol does not include type tags in the marshaled data; a
- block of marshaled values must have a known <em class="firstterm">type
- signature</em>. The type signature is made up of <em class="firstterm">type
- codes</em>. A type code is an ASCII character representing the
- type of a value. Because ASCII characters are used, the type signature
- will always form a valid ASCII string. A simple string compare
- determines whether two type signatures are equivalent.
- </p><p>
- As a simple example, the type code for 32-bit integer (<code class="literal">INT32</code>) is
- the ASCII character 'i'. So the signature for a block of values
- containing a single <code class="literal">INT32</code> would be:
- </p><pre class="programlisting">
- "i"
- </pre><p>
- A block of values containing two <code class="literal">INT32</code> would have this signature:
- </p><pre class="programlisting">
- "ii"
- </pre><p>
- </p><p>
- All <em class="firstterm">basic</em> types work like
- <code class="literal">INT32</code> in this example. To marshal and unmarshal
- basic types, you simply read one value from the data
- block corresponding to each type code in the signature.
- In addition to basic types, there are four <em class="firstterm">container</em>
- types: <code class="literal">STRUCT</code>, <code class="literal">ARRAY</code>, <code class="literal">VARIANT</code>,
- and <code class="literal">DICT_ENTRY</code>.
- </p><p>
- <code class="literal">STRUCT</code> has a type code, ASCII character 'r', but this type
- code does not appear in signatures. Instead, ASCII characters
- '(' and ')' are used to mark the beginning and end of the struct.
- So for example, a struct containing two integers would have this
- signature:
- </p><pre class="programlisting">
- "(ii)"
- </pre><p>
- Structs can be nested, so for example a struct containing
- an integer and another struct:
- </p><pre class="programlisting">
- "(i(ii))"
- </pre><p>
- The value block storing that struct would contain three integers; the
- type signature allows you to distinguish "(i(ii))" from "((ii)i)" or
- "(iii)" or "iii".
- </p><p>
- The <code class="literal">STRUCT</code> type code 'r' is not currently used in the D-Bus protocol,
- but is useful in code that implements the protocol. This type code
- is specified to allow such code to interoperate in non-protocol contexts.
- </p><p>
- Empty structures are not allowed; there must be at least one
- type code between the parentheses.
- </p><p>
- <code class="literal">ARRAY</code> has ASCII character 'a' as type code. The array type code must be
- followed by a <em class="firstterm">single complete type</em>. The single
- complete type following the array is the type of each array element. So
- the simple example is:
- </p><pre class="programlisting">
- "ai"
- </pre><p>
- which is an array of 32-bit integers. But an array can be of any type,
- such as this array-of-struct-with-two-int32-fields:
- </p><pre class="programlisting">
- "a(ii)"
- </pre><p>
- Or this array of array of integer:
- </p><pre class="programlisting">
- "aai"
- </pre><p>
- </p><p>
- The phrase <em class="firstterm">single complete type</em> deserves some
- definition. A single complete type is a basic type code, a variant type code,
- an array with its element type, or a struct with its fields.
- So the following signatures are not single complete types:
- </p><pre class="programlisting">
- "aa"
- </pre><p>
- </p><pre class="programlisting">
- "(ii"
- </pre><p>
- </p><pre class="programlisting">
- "ii)"
- </pre><p>
- And the following signatures contain multiple complete types:
- </p><pre class="programlisting">
- "ii"
- </pre><p>
- </p><pre class="programlisting">
- "aiai"
- </pre><p>
- </p><pre class="programlisting">
- "(ii)(ii)"
- </pre><p>
- Note however that a single complete type may <span class="emphasis"><em>contain</em></span>
- multiple other single complete types.
- </p><p>
- <code class="literal">VARIANT</code> has ASCII character 'v' as its type code. A marshaled value of
- type <code class="literal">VARIANT</code> will have the signature of a single complete type as part
- of the <span class="emphasis"><em>value</em></span>. This signature will be followed by a
- marshaled value of that type.
- </p><p>
- A <code class="literal">DICT_ENTRY</code> works exactly like a struct, but rather
- than parentheses it uses curly braces, and it has more restrictions.
- The restrictions are: it occurs only as an array element type; it has
- exactly two single complete types inside the curly braces; the first
- single complete type (the "key") must be a basic type rather than a
- container type. Implementations must not accept dict entries outside of
- arrays, must not accept dict entries with zero, one, or more than two
- fields, and must not accept dict entries with non-basic-typed keys. A
- dict entry is always a key-value pair.
- </p><p>
- The first field in the <code class="literal">DICT_ENTRY</code> is always the key.
- A message is considered corrupt if the same key occurs twice in the same
- array of <code class="literal">DICT_ENTRY</code>. However, for performance reasons
- implementations are not required to reject dicts with duplicate keys.
- </p><p>
- In most languages, an array of dict entry would be represented as a
- map, hash table, or dict object.
- </p><p>
- The following table summarizes the D-Bus types.

- Given a type signature, a block of bytes can be converted into typed
- values. This section describes the format of the block of bytes. Byte
- order and alignment issues are handled uniformly for all D-Bus types.
- </p><p>
- A block of bytes has an associated byte order. The byte order
- has to be discovered in some way; for D-Bus messages, the
- byte order is part of the message header as described in
- <a class="xref" href="#message-protocol-messages" title="Message Format">the section called &#8220;Message Format&#8221;</a>. For now, assume
- that the byte order is known to be either little endian or big
- endian.
- </p><p>
- Each value in a block of bytes is aligned "naturally," for example
- 4-byte values are aligned to a 4-byte boundary, and 8-byte values to an
- 8-byte boundary. To properly align a value, <em class="firstterm">alignment
- padding</em> may be necessary. The alignment padding must always
- be the minimum required padding to properly align the following value;
- and it must always be made up of nul bytes. The alignment padding must
- not be left uninitialized (it can't contain garbage), and more padding
- than required must not be used.
- </p><p>

- An object path is a name used to refer to an object instance.
- Conceptually, each participant in a D-Bus message exchange may have
- any number of object instances (think of C++ or Java objects) and each
- such instance will have a path. Like a filesystem, the object
- instances in an application form a hierarchical tree.
- </p><p>
- The following rules define a valid object path. Implementations must
- not send or accept messages with invalid object paths.
- </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>
- The path may be of any length.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- The path must begin with an ASCII '/' (integer 47) character,
- and must consist of elements separated by slash characters.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- Each element must only contain the ASCII characters
- "[A-Z][a-z][0-9]_"
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- No element may be the empty string.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- Multiple '/' characters cannot occur in sequence.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- A trailing '/' character is not allowed unless the
- path is the root path (a single '/' character).
- </p></li></ul></div><p>
- </p><p>
- Object paths are often namespaced by starting with a reversed
- domain name and containing an interface version number, in the
- same way as
- <a class="link" href="#message-protocol-names-interface" title="Interface names">interface
- names</a> and
- <a class="link" href="#message-protocol-names-bus" title="Bus names">well-known
- bus names</a>.
- This makes it possible to implement more than one service, or
- more than one version of a service, in the same process,
- even if the services share a connection but cannot otherwise
- co-operate (for instance, if they are implemented by different
- plugins).
- </p><p>
- For instance, if the owner of <code class="literal">example.com</code> is
- developing a D-Bus API for a music player, they might use the
- hierarchy of object paths that start with
- <code class="literal">/com/example/MusicPlayer1</code> for its objects.

- An implementation must not send or accept invalid signatures.
- Valid signatures will conform to the following rules:
- </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>
- The signature ends with a nul byte.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>

- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>

- A <em class="firstterm">message</em> consists of a

- think of a message as a package, the header is the address, and the body
- contains the package contents. The message delivery system uses the header
- information to figure out where to send the message and how to interpret
- it; the recipient interprets the body of the message.
- </p><p>
- The body of the message is made up of zero or more
- <em class="firstterm">arguments</em>, which are typed values, such as an
- integer or a byte array.
- </p><p>
- Both header and body use the D-Bus <a class="link" href="#type-system" title="Type System">type

- </p><div class="sect2" title="Message Format"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="message-protocol-messages"></a>Message Format</h3></div></div></div><p>
- A message consists of a header and a body. The header is a block of
- values with a fixed signature and meaning. The body is a separate block
- of values, with a signature specified in the header.
- </p><p>
- The length of the header must be a multiple of 8, allowing the body to
- begin on an 8-byte boundary when storing the entire message in a single
- buffer. If the header does not naturally end on an 8-byte boundary
- up to 7 bytes of nul-initialized alignment padding must be added.
- </p><p>
- The message body need not end on an 8-byte boundary.
- </p><p>
- The maximum length of a message, including header, header alignment padding,

- The array at the end of the header contains <em class="firstterm">header

- by a field value. A header must contain the required header fields for
- its message type, and zero or more of any optional header
- fields. Future versions of this protocol specification may add new
- fields. Implementations must ignore fields they do not
- understand. Implementations must not invent their own header fields;
- only changes to this specification may introduce new header fields.
- </p><p>
- Again, if an implementation sees a header field code that it does not
- expect, it must ignore that field, as it will be part of a new
- (but compatible) version of this specification. This also applies
- to known header fields appearing in unexpected messages, for
- example: if a signal has a reply serial it must be ignored
- even though it has no meaning as of this version of the spec.
- </p><p>
- However, implementations must not send or accept known header fields

- Interfaces have names with type <code class="literal">STRING</code>, meaning that
- they must be valid UTF-8. However, there are also some
- additional restrictions that apply to interface names
- specifically:
- </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>Interface names are composed of 1 or more elements separated by
- a period ('.') character. All elements must contain at least
- one character.

- "[A-Z][a-z][0-9]_" and must not begin with a digit.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Interface names must contain at least one '.' (period)

- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Interface names must not begin with a '.' (period) character.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Interface names must not exceed the maximum name length.</p></li></ul></div><p>
- </p><p>
- Interface names should start with the reversed DNS domain name of
- the author of the interface (in lower-case), like interface names
- in Java. It is conventional for the rest of the interface name
- to consist of words run together, with initial capital letters
- on all words ("CamelCase"). Several levels of hierarchy can be used.
- It is also a good idea to include the major version of the interface
- in the name, and increment it if incompatible changes are made;
- this way, a single object can implement several versions of an
- interface in parallel, if necessary.
- </p><p>
- For instance, if the owner of <code class="literal">example.com</code> is
- developing a D-Bus API for a music player, they might define
- interfaces called <code class="literal">com.example.MusicPlayer1</code>,
- <code class="literal">com.example.MusicPlayer1.Track</code> and
- <code class="literal">com.example.MusicPlayer1.Seekable</code>.
- </p><p>
- D-Bus does not distinguish between the concepts that would be

- D-Bus by an interface name.
- </p></div><div class="sect3" title="Bus names"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a name="message-protocol-names-bus"></a>Bus names</h4></div></div></div><p>
- Connections have one or more bus names associated with them.
- A connection has exactly one bus name that is a <em class="firstterm">unique
- connection name</em>. The unique connection name remains
- with the connection for its entire lifetime.
- A bus name is of type <code class="literal">STRING</code>,
- meaning that it must be valid UTF-8. However, there are also
- some additional restrictions that apply to bus names
- specifically:
- </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>Bus names that start with a colon (':')

- </p><p>
- Note that the hyphen ('-') character is allowed in bus names but
- not in interface names.
- </p><p>
- Like <a class="link" href="#message-protocol-names-interface" title="Interface names">interface
- names</a>, well-known bus names should start with the
- reversed DNS domain name of the author of the interface (in
- lower-case), and it is conventional for the rest of the well-known
- bus name to consist of words run together, with initial
- capital letters. As with interface names, including a version
- number in well-known bus names is a good idea; it's possible to
- have the well-known bus name for more than one version
- simultaneously if backwards compatibility is required.
- </p><p>
- If a well-known bus name implies the presence of a "main" interface,
- that "main" interface is often given the same name as
- the well-known bus name, and situated at the corresponding object
- path. For instance, if the owner of <code class="literal">example.com</code>
- is developing a D-Bus API for a music player, they might define
- that any application that takes the well-known name
- <code class="literal">com.example.MusicPlayer1</code> should have an object

- which implements the interface
- <code class="literal">com.example.MusicPlayer1</code>.

- </p><p>
- It is conventional for member names on D-Bus to consist of

- Each of the message types (<code class="literal">METHOD_CALL</code>, <code class="literal">METHOD_RETURN</code>, <code class="literal">ERROR</code>, and
- <code class="literal">SIGNAL</code>) has its own expected usage conventions and header fields.
- This section describes these conventions.
- </p><div class="sect3" title="Method Calls"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a name="message-protocol-types-method"></a>Method Calls</h4></div></div></div><p>
- Some messages invoke an operation on a remote object. These are
- called method call messages and have the type tag <code class="literal">METHOD_CALL</code>. Such
- messages map naturally to methods on objects in a typical program.
- </p><p>
- A method call message is required to have a <code class="literal">MEMBER</code> header field
- indicating the name of the method. Optionally, the message has an
- <code class="literal">INTERFACE</code> field giving the interface the method is a part of. In the
- absence of an <code class="literal">INTERFACE</code> field, if two interfaces on the same object have
- a method with the same name, it is undefined which of the two methods
- will be invoked. Implementations may also choose to return an error in
- this ambiguous case. However, if a method name is unique
- implementations must not require an interface field.
- </p><p>
- Method call messages also include a <code class="literal">PATH</code> field
- indicating the object to invoke the method on. If the call is passing
- through a message bus, the message will also have a
- <code class="literal">DESTINATION</code> field giving the name of the connection
- to receive the message.
- </p><p>
- When an application handles a method call message, it is required to
- return a reply. The reply is identified by a <code class="literal">REPLY_SERIAL</code> header field
- indicating the serial number of the <code class="literal">METHOD_CALL</code> being replied to. The
- reply can have one of two types; either <code class="literal">METHOD_RETURN</code> or <code class="literal">ERROR</code>.
- </p><p>
- If the reply has type <code class="literal">METHOD_RETURN</code>, the arguments to the reply message
- are the return value(s) or "out parameters" of the method call.
- If the reply has type <code class="literal">ERROR</code>, then an "exception" has been thrown,
- and the call fails; no return value will be provided. It makes
- no sense to send multiple replies to the same method call.
- </p><p>
- Even if a method call has no return values, a <code class="literal">METHOD_RETURN</code>
- reply is required, so the caller will know the method
- was successfully processed.
- </p><p>
- The <code class="literal">METHOD_RETURN</code> or <code class="literal">ERROR</code> reply message must have the <code class="literal">REPLY_SERIAL</code>
- header field.
- </p><p>
- If a <code class="literal">METHOD_CALL</code> message has the flag <code class="literal">NO_REPLY_EXPECTED</code>,
- then as an optimization the application receiving the method
- call may choose to omit the reply message (regardless of
- whether the reply would have been <code class="literal">METHOD_RETURN</code> or <code class="literal">ERROR</code>).
- However, it is also acceptable to ignore the <code class="literal">NO_REPLY_EXPECTED</code>
- flag and reply anyway.
- </p><p>
- Unless a message has the flag <code class="literal">NO_AUTO_START</code>, if the
- destination name does not exist then a program to own the destination
- name will be started before the message is delivered. The message
- will be held until the new program is successfully started or has
- failed to start; in case of failure, an error will be returned. This
- flag is only relevant in the context of a message bus, it is ignored
- during one-to-one communication with no intermediate bus.
- </p><div class="sect4" title="Mapping method calls to native APIs"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h5 class="title"><a name="message-protocol-types-method-apis"></a>Mapping method calls to native APIs</h5></div></div></div><p>
- APIs for D-Bus may map method calls to a method call in a specific
- programming language, such as C++, or may map a method call written
- in an IDL to a D-Bus message.
- </p><p>
- In APIs of this nature, arguments to a method are often termed "in"
- (which implies sent in the <code class="literal">METHOD_CALL</code>), or "out" (which implies
- returned in the <code class="literal">METHOD_RETURN</code>). Some APIs such as CORBA also have
- "inout" arguments, which are both sent and received, i.e. the caller
- passes in a value which is modified. Mapped to D-Bus, an "inout"
- argument is equivalent to an "in" argument, followed by an "out"
- argument. You can't pass things "by reference" over the wire, so
- "inout" is purely an illusion of the in-process API.
- </p><p>
- Given a method with zero or one return values, followed by zero or more
- arguments, where each argument may be "in", "out", or "inout", the
- caller constructs a message by appending each "in" or "inout" argument,
- in order. "out" arguments are not represented in the caller's message.
- </p><p>
- The recipient constructs a reply by appending first the return value
- if any, then each "out" or "inout" argument, in order.
- "in" arguments are not represented in the reply message.
- </p><p>
- Error replies are normally mapped to exceptions in languages that have
- exceptions.
- </p><p>
- In converting from native APIs to D-Bus, it is perhaps nice to
- map D-Bus naming conventions ("FooBar") to native conventions
- such as "fooBar" or "foo_bar" automatically. This is OK
- as long as you can say that the native API is one that
- was specifically written for D-Bus. It makes the most sense
- when writing object implementations that will be exported
- over the bus. Object proxies used to invoke remote D-Bus
- objects probably need the ability to call any D-Bus method,
- and thus a magic name mapping like this could be a problem.
- </p><p>
- This specification doesn't require anything of native API bindings;
- the preceding is only a suggested convention for consistency
- among bindings.
- </p></div></div><div class="sect3" title="Signal Emission"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a name="message-protocol-types-signal"></a>Signal Emission</h4></div></div></div><p>
- Unlike method calls, signal emissions have no replies.
- A signal emission is simply a single message of type <code class="literal">SIGNAL</code>.
- It must have three header fields: <code class="literal">PATH</code> giving the object
- the signal was emitted from, plus <code class="literal">INTERFACE</code> and <code class="literal">MEMBER</code> giving
- the fully-qualified name of the signal. The <code class="literal">INTERFACE</code> header is required
- for signals, though it is optional for method calls.
- </p></div><div class="sect3" title="Errors"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a name="message-protocol-types-errors"></a>Errors</h4></div></div></div><p>
- Messages of type <code class="literal">ERROR</code> are most commonly replies
- to a <code class="literal">METHOD_CALL</code>, but may be returned in reply
- to any kind of message. The message bus for example
- will return an <code class="literal">ERROR</code> in reply to a signal emission if
- the bus does not have enough memory to send the signal.
- </p><p>
- An <code class="literal">ERROR</code> may have any arguments, but if the first
- argument is a <code class="literal">STRING</code>, it must be an error message.
- The error message may be logged or shown to the user
- in some way.
- </p></div><div class="sect3" title="Notation in this document"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a name="message-protocol-types-notation"></a>Notation in this document</h4></div></div></div><p>
- This document uses a simple pseudo-IDL to describe particular method
- calls and signals. Here is an example of a method call:
- </p><pre class="programlisting">
- org.freedesktop.DBus.StartServiceByName (in STRING name, in UINT32 flags,
- out UINT32 resultcode)
- </pre><p>
- This means <code class="literal">INTERFACE</code> = org.freedesktop.DBus, <code class="literal">MEMBER</code> = StartServiceByName,
- <code class="literal">METHOD_CALL</code> arguments are <code class="literal">STRING</code> and <code class="literal">UINT32</code>, <code class="literal">METHOD_RETURN</code> argument
- is <code class="literal">UINT32</code>. Remember that the <code class="literal">MEMBER</code> field can't contain any '.' (period)
- characters so it's known that the last part of the name in
- the "IDL" is the member name.
- </p><p>
- In C++ that might end up looking like this:
- </p><pre class="programlisting">
- unsigned int org::freedesktop::DBus::StartServiceByName (const char *name,
- unsigned int flags);
- </pre><p>
- or equally valid, the return value could be done as an argument:
- </p><pre class="programlisting">
- void org::freedesktop::DBus::StartServiceByName (const char *name,
- unsigned int flags,
- unsigned int *resultcode);
- </pre><p>
- It's really up to the API designer how they want to make
- this look. You could design an API where the namespace wasn't used
- in C++, using STL or Qt, using varargs, or whatever you wanted.
- </p><p>
- Signals are written as follows:
- </p><pre class="programlisting">
- org.freedesktop.DBus.NameLost (STRING name)
- </pre><p>
- Signals don't specify "in" vs. "out" because only
- a single direction is possible.
- </p><p>
- It isn't especially encouraged to use this lame pseudo-IDL in actual
- API implementations; you might use the native notation for the
- language you're using, or you might use COM or CORBA IDL, for example.
- </p></div></div><div class="sect2" title="Invalid Protocol and Spec Extensions"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="message-protocol-handling-invalid"></a>Invalid Protocol and Spec Extensions</h3></div></div></div><p>
- For security reasons, the D-Bus protocol should be strictly parsed and
- validated, with the exception of defined extension points. Any invalid
- protocol or spec violations should result in immediately dropping the
- connection without notice to the other end. Exceptions should be
- carefully considered, e.g. an exception may be warranted for a
- well-understood idiosyncrasy of a widely-deployed implementation. In
- cases where the other end of a connection is 100% trusted and known to
- be friendly, skipping validation for performance reasons could also make
- sense in certain cases.
- </p><p>
- Generally speaking violations of the "must" requirements in this spec
- should be considered possible attempts to exploit security, and violations
- of the "should" suggestions should be considered legitimate (though perhaps
- they should generate an error in some cases).
- </p><p>
- The following extension points are built in to D-Bus on purpose and must
- not be treated as invalid protocol. The extension points are intended
- for use by future versions of this spec, they are not intended for third

- without breaking interoperability would be to introduce a way to negotiate new

- The REJECTED command indicates that the current authentication
- exchange has failed, and further exchange of DATA is inappropriate.
- The client would normally try another mechanism, or try providing
- different responses to challenges.
- </p><p>
- Optionally, the REJECTED command has a space-separated list of
- available auth mechanisms as arguments. If a server ever provides
- a list of supported mechanisms, it must provide the same list
- each time it sends a REJECTED message. Clients are free to
- ignore all lists received after the first.
- </p></div><div class="sect2" title="OK Command"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="auth-command-ok"></a>OK Command</h3></div></div></div><p>
- The OK command indicates that the client has been
- authenticated. The client may now proceed with negotiating
- Unix file descriptor passing. To do that it shall send
- NEGOTIATE_UNIX_FD to the server.
- </p><p>
- Otherwise, the client must respond to the OK command by
- sending a BEGIN command, followed by its stream of messages,
- or by disconnecting. The server must not accept additional
- commands using this protocol after the BEGIN command has been
- received. Further communication will be a stream of D-Bus
- messages (optionally encrypted, as negotiated) rather than
- this protocol.
- </p><p>
- If a client sends BEGIN the first octet received by the client
- after the \r\n of the OK command must be the first octet of
- the authenticated/encrypted stream of D-Bus messages.
- </p><p>
- The OK command has one argument, which is the GUID of the server.
- See <a class="xref" href="#addresses" title="Server Addresses">the section called &#8220;Server Addresses&#8221;</a> for more on server GUIDs.
- </p></div><div class="sect2" title="ERROR Command"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="auth-command-error"></a>ERROR Command</h3></div></div></div><p>
- The ERROR command indicates that either server or client did not
- know a command, does not accept the given command in the current
- context, or did not understand the arguments to the command. This
- allows the protocol to be extended; a client or server can send a
- command present or permitted only in new protocol versions, and if
- an ERROR is received instead of an appropriate response, fall back
- to using some other technique.
- </p><p>
- If an ERROR is sent, the server or client that sent the
- error must continue as if the command causing the ERROR had never been
- received. However, the the server or client receiving the error
- should try something other than whatever caused the error;
- if only canceling/rejecting the authentication.
- </p><p>
- If the D-Bus protocol changes incompatibly at some future time,
- applications implementing the new protocol would probably be able to
- check for support of the new protocol by sending a new command and
- receiving an ERROR from applications that don't understand it. Thus the
- ERROR feature of the auth protocol is an escape hatch that lets us
- negotiate extensions or changes to the D-Bus protocol in the future.
- </p></div><div class="sect2" title="NEGOTIATE_UNIX_FD Command"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="auth-command-negotiate-unix-fd"></a>NEGOTIATE_UNIX_FD Command</h3></div></div></div><p>
- The NEGOTIATE_UNIX_FD command indicates that the client
- supports Unix file descriptor passing. This command may only
- be sent after the connection is authenticated, i.e. after OK
- was received by the client. This command may only be sent on
- transports that support Unix file descriptor passing.
- </p><p>
- On receiving NEGOTIATE_UNIX_FD the server must respond with
- either AGREE_UNIX_FD or ERROR. It shall respond the former if
- the transport chosen supports Unix file descriptor passing and
- the server supports this feature. It shall respond the latter
- if the transport does not support Unix file descriptor
- passing, the server does not support this feature, or the
- server decides not to enable file descriptor passing due to
- security or other reasons.
- </p></div><div class="sect2" title="AGREE_UNIX_FD Command"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="auth-command-agree-unix-fd"></a>AGREE_UNIX_FD Command</h3></div></div></div><p>
- The AGREE_UNIX_FD command indicates that the server supports
- Unix file descriptor passing. This command may only be sent
- after the connection is authenticated, and the client sent
- NEGOTIATE_UNIX_FD to enable Unix file descriptor passing. This
- command may only be sent on transports that support Unix file
- descriptor passing.
- </p><p>
- On receiving AGREE_UNIX_FD the client must respond with BEGIN,
- followed by its stream of messages, or by disconnecting. The
- server must not accept additional commands using this protocol
- after the BEGIN command has been received. Further
- communication will be a stream of D-Bus messages (optionally
- encrypted, as negotiated) rather than this protocol.
- </p></div><div class="sect2" title="Future Extensions"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="auth-command-future"></a>Future Extensions</h3></div></div></div><p>
- Future extensions to the authentication and negotiation
- protocol are possible. For that new commands may be
- introduced. If a client or server receives an unknown command
- it shall respond with ERROR and not consider this fatal. New
- commands may be introduced both before, and after
- authentication, i.e. both before and after the OK command.

- This section describes some new authentication mechanisms.
- D-Bus also allows any standard SASL mechanism of course.
- </p><div class="sect3" title="DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a name="auth-mechanisms-sha"></a>DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1</h4></div></div></div><p>
- The DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1 mechanism is designed to establish that a client
- has the ability to read a private file owned by the user being
- authenticated. If the client can prove that it has access to a secret
- cookie stored in this file, then the client is authenticated.
- Thus the security of DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1 depends on a secure home
- directory.
- </p><p>
- Throughout this description, "hex encoding" must output the digits
- from a to f in lower-case; the digits A to F must not be used
- in the DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1 mechanism.
- </p><p>
- Authentication proceeds as follows:
- </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>
- The client sends the username it would like to authenticate
- as, hex-encoded.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- The server sends the name of its "cookie context" (see below); a
- space character; the integer ID of the secret cookie the client
- must demonstrate knowledge of; a space character; then a
- randomly-generated challenge string, all of this hex-encoded into
- one, single string.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- The client locates the cookie and generates its own
- randomly-generated challenge string. The client then concatenates
- the server's decoded challenge, a ":" character, its own challenge,
- another ":" character, and the cookie. It computes the SHA-1 hash
- of this composite string as a hex digest. It concatenates the
- client's challenge string, a space character, and the SHA-1 hex
- digest, hex-encodes the result and sends it back to the server.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- The server generates the same concatenated string used by the
- client and computes its SHA-1 hash. It compares the hash with
- the hash received from the client; if the two hashes match, the
- client is authenticated.
- </p></li></ul></div><p>
- </p><p>
- Each server has a "cookie context," which is a name that identifies a
- set of cookies that apply to that server. A sample context might be
- "org_freedesktop_session_bus". Context names must be valid ASCII,
- nonzero length, and may not contain the characters slash ("/"),
- backslash ("\"), space (" "), newline ("\n"), carriage return ("\r"),
- tab ("\t"), or period ("."). There is a default context,
- "org_freedesktop_general" that's used by servers that do not specify
- otherwise.
- </p><p>
- Cookies are stored in a user's home directory, in the directory
- <code class="filename">~/.dbus-keyrings/</code>. This directory must
- not be readable or writable by other users. If it is,
- clients and servers must ignore it. The directory
- contains cookie files named after the cookie context.
- </p><p>
- A cookie file contains one cookie per line. Each line
- has three space-separated fields:
- </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>
- The cookie ID number, which must be a non-negative integer and
- may not be used twice in the same file.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- The cookie's creation time, in UNIX seconds-since-the-epoch
- format.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- The cookie itself, a hex-encoded random block of bytes. The cookie
- may be of any length, though obviously security increases
- as the length increases.
- </p></li></ul></div><p>
- </p><p>
- Only server processes modify the cookie file.
- They must do so with this procedure:
- </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>
- Create a lockfile name by appending ".lock" to the name of the
- cookie file. The server should attempt to create this file
- using <code class="literal">O_CREAT | O_EXCL</code>. If file creation
- fails, the lock fails. Servers should retry for a reasonable
- period of time, then they may choose to delete an existing lock
- to keep users from having to manually delete a stale
- lock. <sup>[<a name="idp5281040" href="#ftn.idp5281040" class="footnote">1</a>]</sup>
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- Once the lockfile has been created, the server loads the cookie
- file. It should then delete any cookies that are old (the
- timeout can be fairly short), or more than a reasonable
- time in the future (so that cookies never accidentally
- become permanent, if the clock was set far into the future
- at some point). If no recent keys remain, the
- server may generate a new key.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- The pruned and possibly added-to cookie file
- must be resaved atomically (using a temporary
- file which is rename()'d).
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- The lock must be dropped by deleting the lockfile.
- </p></li></ul></div><p>
- </p><p>
- Clients need not lock the file in order to load it,
- because servers are required to save the file atomically.
- </p></div></div></div><div class="sect1" title="Server Addresses"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="addresses"></a>Server Addresses</h2></div></div></div><p>
- Server addresses consist of a transport name followed by a colon, and
- then an optional, comma-separated list of keys and values in the form key=value.
- Each value is escaped.
- </p><p>
- For example:
- </p><pre class="programlisting">unix:path=/tmp/dbus-test</pre><p>
- Which is the address to a unix socket with the path /tmp/dbus-test.
- </p><p>
- Value escaping is similar to URI escaping but simpler.
- </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>

- A server may specify a key-value pair with the key <code class="literal">guid</code>
- and the value a hex-encoded 16-byte sequence. <a class="xref" href="#uuids" title="UUIDs">the section called &#8220;UUIDs&#8221;</a>
- describes the format of the <code class="literal">guid</code> field. If present,
- this UUID may be used to distinguish one server address from another. A
- server should use a different UUID for each address it listens on. For
- example, if a message bus daemon offers both UNIX domain socket and TCP
- connections, but treats clients the same regardless of how they connect,
- those two connections are equivalent post-connection but should have
- distinct UUIDs to distinguish the kinds of connection.
- </p><p>
- The intent of the address UUID feature is to allow a client to avoid
- opening multiple identical connections to the same server, by allowing the
- client to check whether an address corresponds to an already-existing
- connection. Comparing two addresses is insufficient, because addresses
- can be recycled by distinct servers, and equivalent addresses may look
- different if simply compared as strings (for example, the host in a TCP
- address can be given as an IP address or as a hostname).
- </p><p>
- Note that the address key is <code class="literal">guid</code> even though the
- rest of the API and documentation says "UUID," for historical reasons.
- </p><p>
- [FIXME clarify if attempting to connect to each is a requirement
- or just a suggestion]
- When connecting to a server, multiple server addresses can be
- separated by a semi-colon. The library will then try to connect
- to the first address and if that fails, it'll try to connect to

- The nonce-tcp transport provides a secured TCP transport, using a

- access to a certain location in the filesystem can connect to the server.
- The server writes a secret, the nonce, to a file and an incoming client
- connection is only accepted if the client sends the nonce right after
- the connect. The nonce mechanism requires no setup and is orthogonal to
- the higher-level authentication mechanisms described in the
- Authentication section.
- </p><p>
- On start, the server generates a random 16 byte nonce and writes it
- to a file in the user's temporary directory. The nonce file location
- is published as part of the server's D-Bus address using the
- "noncefile" key-value pair.
-
- After an accept, the server reads 16 bytes from the socket. If the
- read bytes do not match the nonce stored in the nonce file, the
- server MUST immediately drop the connection.
- If the nonce match the received byte sequence, the client is accepted
- and the transport behaves like an unsecured tcp transport.
- </p><p>

- A working D-Bus implementation uses universally-unique IDs in two places.
- First, each server address has a UUID identifying the address,
- as described in <a class="xref" href="#addresses" title="Server Addresses">the section called &#8220;Server Addresses&#8221;</a>. Second, each operating
- system kernel instance running a D-Bus client or server has a UUID
- identifying that kernel, retrieved by invoking the method
- org.freedesktop.DBus.Peer.GetMachineId() (see <a class="xref" href="#standard-interfaces-peer" title="org.freedesktop.DBus.Peer">the section called &#8220;<code class="literal">org.freedesktop.DBus.Peer</code>&#8221;</a>).
- </p><p>
- The term "UUID" in this document is intended literally, i.e. an
- identifier that is universally unique. It is not intended to refer to
- RFC4122, and in fact the D-Bus UUID is not compatible with that RFC.
- </p><p>
- The UUID must contain 128 bits of data and be hex-encoded. The
- hex-encoded string may not contain hyphens or other non-hex-digit
- characters, and it must be exactly 32 characters long. To generate a
- UUID, the current reference implementation concatenates 96 bits of random
- data followed by the 32-bit time in seconds since the UNIX epoch (in big
- endian byte order).
- </p><p>
- It would also be acceptable and probably better to simply generate 128
- bits of random data, as long as the random number generator is of high
- quality. The timestamp could conceivably help if the random bits are not
- very random. With a quality random number generator, collisions are
- extremely unlikely even with only 96 bits, so it's somewhat academic.
- </p><p>
- Implementations should, however, stick to random data for the first 96 bits
- of the UUID.

- On receipt of the <code class="literal">METHOD_CALL</code> message
- <code class="literal">org.freedesktop.DBus.Peer.GetMachineId</code>, an application should
- reply with a <code class="literal">METHOD_RETURN</code> containing a hex-encoded
- UUID representing the identity of the machine the process is running on.
- This UUID must be the same for all processes on a single system at least
- until that system next reboots. It should be the same across reboots
- if possible, but this is not always possible to implement and is not
- guaranteed.
- It does not matter which object path a GetMachineId is sent to. The
- reference implementation handles this method automatically.
- </p><p>
- The UUID is intended to be per-instance-of-the-operating-system, so may represent
- a virtual machine running on a hypervisor, rather than a physical machine.
- Basically if two processes see the same UUID, they should also see the same
- shared memory, UNIX domain sockets, process IDs, and other features that require
- a running OS kernel in common between the processes.

- The message bus accepts connections from one or more applications.
- Once connected, applications can exchange messages with other
- applications that are also connected to the bus.
- </p><p>
- In order to route messages among connections, the message bus keeps a
- mapping from names to connections. Each connection has one
- unique-for-the-lifetime-of-the-bus name automatically assigned.
- Applications may request additional names for a connection. Additional
- names are usually "well-known names" such as
- "org.freedesktop.TextEditor". When a name is bound to a connection,
- that connection is said to <em class="firstterm">own</em> the name.
- </p><p>
- The bus itself owns a special name, <code class="literal">org.freedesktop.DBus</code>.
- This name routes messages to the bus, allowing applications to make
- administrative requests. For example, applications can ask the bus
- to assign a name to a connection.
- </p><p>
- Each name may have <em class="firstterm">queued owners</em>. When an
- application requests a name for a connection and the name is already in
- use, the bus will optionally add the connection to a queue waiting for
- the name. If the current owner of the name disconnects or releases
- the name, the next connection in the queue will become the new owner.
- </p><p>
- This feature causes the right thing to happen if you start two text
- editors for example; the first one may request "org.freedesktop.TextEditor",
- and the second will be queued as a possible owner of that name. When
- the first exits, the second will take over.
- </p><p>
- Applications may send <em class="firstterm">unicast messages</em> to
- a specific recipient or to the message bus itself, or
- <em class="firstterm">broadcast messages</em> to all interested recipients.
- See <a class="xref" href="#message-bus-routing" title="Message Bus Message Routing">the section called &#8220;Message Bus Message Routing&#8221;</a> for details.
- </p></div><div class="sect2" title="Message Bus Names"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="message-bus-names"></a>Message Bus Names</h3></div></div></div><p>
- Each connection has at least one name, assigned at connection time and
- returned in response to the
- <code class="literal">org.freedesktop.DBus.Hello</code> method call. This
- automatically-assigned name is called the connection's <em class="firstterm">unique
- name</em>. Unique names are never reused for two different
- connections to the same bus.
- </p><p>
- Ownership of a unique name is a prerequisite for interaction with
- the message bus. It logically follows that the unique name is always
- the first name that an application comes to own, and the last
- one that it loses ownership of.
- </p><p>
- Unique connection names must begin with the character ':' (ASCII colon
- character); bus names that are not unique names must not begin
- with this character. (The bus must reject any attempt by an application
- to manually request a name beginning with ':'.) This restriction
- categorically prevents "spoofing"; messages sent to a unique name
- will always go to the expected connection.
- </p><p>
- When a connection is closed, all the names that it owns are deleted (or
- transferred to the next connection in the queue if any).
- </p><p>
- A connection can request additional names to be associated with it using
- the <code class="literal">org.freedesktop.DBus.RequestName</code> message. <a class="xref" href="#message-protocol-names-bus" title="Bus names">the section called &#8220;Bus names&#8221;</a> describes the format of a valid

- This method call should be sent to

- assign the given name to the method caller. Each name maintains a

- or current owner of the name. Each potential owner in the queue
- maintains the DBUS_NAME_FLAG_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT and
- DBUS_NAME_FLAG_DO_NOT_QUEUE settings from its latest RequestName
- call. When RequestName is invoked the following occurs:

- does allow replacement. In this case, queued items that specified
- DBUS_NAME_FLAG_REPLACE_EXISTING <span class="emphasis"><em>do not</em></span>
- automatically replace the new primary owner. In other words,
- DBUS_NAME_FLAG_REPLACE_EXISTING is not saved, it is only used at the

- Messages may have a <code class="literal">DESTINATION</code> field (see <a class="xref" href="#message-protocol-header-fields" title="Header Fields">the section called &#8220;Header Fields&#8221;</a>), resulting in a
- <em class="firstterm">unicast message</em>. If the
- <code class="literal">DESTINATION</code> field is present, it specifies a message
- recipient by name. Method calls and replies normally specify this field.
- The message bus must send messages (of any type) with the
- <code class="literal">DESTINATION</code> field set to the specified recipient,
- regardless of whether the recipient has set up a match rule matching
- the message.
- </p><p>
- When the message bus receives a signal, if the
- <code class="literal">DESTINATION</code> field is absent, it is considered to
- be a <em class="firstterm">broadcast signal</em>, and is sent to all
- applications with <em class="firstterm">message matching rules</em> that
- match the message. Most signal messages are broadcasts.
- </p><p>
- Unicast signal messages (those with a <code class="literal">DESTINATION</code>
- field) are not commonly used, but they are treated like any unicast
- message: they are delivered to the specified receipient,
- regardless of its match rules. One use for unicast signals is to
- avoid a race condition in which a signal is emitted before the intended
- recipient can call <a class="xref" href="#bus-messages-add-match" title="org.freedesktop.DBus.AddMatch">the section called &#8220;<code class="literal">org.freedesktop.DBus.AddMatch</code>&#8221;</a> to
- receive that signal: if the signal is sent directly to that recipient
- using a unicast message, it does not need to add a match rule at all,
- and there is no race condition. Another use for unicast signals,
- on message buses whose security policy prevents eavesdropping, is to
- send sensitive information which should only be visible to one
- recipient.
- </p><p>
- When the message bus receives a method call, if the
- <code class="literal">DESTINATION</code> field is absent, the call is taken to be
- a standard one-to-one message and interpreted by the message bus
- itself. For example, sending an
- <code class="literal">org.freedesktop.DBus.Peer.Ping</code> message with no
- <code class="literal">DESTINATION</code> will cause the message bus itself to
- reply to the ping immediately; the message bus will not make this
- message visible to other applications.
- </p><p>
- Continuing the <code class="literal">org.freedesktop.DBus.Peer.Ping</code> example, if
- the ping message were sent with a <code class="literal">DESTINATION</code> name of
- <code class="literal">com.yoyodyne.Screensaver</code>, then the ping would be
- forwarded, and the Yoyodyne Corporation screensaver application would be
- expected to reply to the ping.
- </p><p>
- Message bus implementations may impose a security policy which
- prevents certain messages from being sent or received.
- When a message cannot be sent or received due to a security
- policy, the message bus should send an error reply, unless the
- original message had the <code class="literal">NO_REPLY</code> flag.
- </p><div class="sect3" title="Eavesdropping"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a name="message-bus-routing-eavesdropping"></a>Eavesdropping</h4></div></div></div><p>
- Receiving a unicast message whose <code class="literal">DESTINATION</code>
- indicates a different recipient is called
- <em class="firstterm">eavesdropping</em>. On a message bus which acts as
- a security boundary (like the standard system bus), the security
- policy should usually prevent eavesdropping, since unicast messages
- are normally kept private and may contain security-sensitive
- information.
- </p><p>
- Eavesdropping is mainly useful for debugging tools, such as
- the <code class="literal">dbus-monitor</code> tool in the reference
- implementation of D-Bus. Tools which eavesdrop on the message bus
- should be careful to avoid sending a reply or error in response to
- messages intended for a different client.
- </p><p>
- Clients may attempt to eavesdrop by adding match rules
- (see <a class="xref" href="#message-bus-routing-match-rules" title="Match Rules">the section called &#8220;Match Rules&#8221;</a>) containing
- the <code class="literal">eavesdrop='true'</code> match. If the message bus'
- security policy does not allow eavesdropping, the match rule can
- still be added, but will not have any practical effect. For
- compatibility with older message bus implementations, if adding such
- a match rule results in an error reply, the client may fall back to
- adding the same rule with the <code class="literal">eavesdrop</code> match
- omitted.
- </p></div><div class="sect3" title="Match Rules"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a name="message-bus-routing-match-rules"></a>Match Rules</h4></div></div></div><p>
- An important part of the message bus routing protocol is match
- rules. Match rules describe the messages that should be sent to a
- client, based on the contents of the message. Broadcast signals
- are only sent to clients which have a suitable match rule: this
- avoids waking up client processes to deal with signals that are
- not relevant to that client.
- </p><p>
- Messages that list a client as their <code class="literal">DESTINATION</code>
- do not need to match the client's match rules, and are sent to that
- client regardless. As a result, match rules are mainly used to
- receive a subset of broadcast signals.
- </p><p>
- Match rules can also be used for eavesdropping
- (see <a class="xref" href="#message-bus-routing-eavesdropping" title="Eavesdropping">the section called &#8220;Eavesdropping&#8221;</a>),
- if the security policy of the message bus allows it.

- The message bus can start applications on behalf of other applications.
- In CORBA terms, this would be called <em class="firstterm">activation</em>.
- An application that can be started in this way is called a
- <em class="firstterm">service</em>.
- </p><p>
- With D-Bus, starting a service is normally done by name. That is,
- applications ask the message bus to start some program that will own a
- well-known name, such as <code class="literal">org.freedesktop.TextEditor</code>.
- This implies a contract documented along with the name
- <code class="literal">org.freedesktop.TextEditor</code> for which objects
- the owner of that name will provide, and what interfaces those
- objects will have.
- </p><p>
- To find an executable corresponding to a particular name, the bus daemon
- looks for <em class="firstterm">service description files</em>. Service
- description files define a mapping from names to executables. Different
- kinds of message bus will look for these files in different places, see
- <a class="xref" href="#message-bus-types" title="Well-known Message Bus Instances">the section called &#8220;Well-known Message Bus Instances&#8221;</a>.
- </p><p>
- Service description files have the ".service" file
- extension. The message bus will only load service description files
- ending with .service; all other files will be ignored. The file format
- is similar to that of <a class="ulink" href="http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html" target="_top">desktop
- entries</a>. All service description files must be in UTF-8
- encoding. To ensure that there will be no name collisions, service files
- must be namespaced using the same mechanism as messages and service
- names.
- </p><p>
- [FIXME the file format should be much better specified than "similar to
- .desktop entries" esp. since desktop entries are already
- badly-specified. ;-)]
- These sections from the specification apply to service files as well:

- </p><p>
- When an application asks to start a service by name, the bus daemon tries to
- find a service that will own that name. It then tries to spawn the
- executable associated with it. If this fails, it will report an
- error. [FIXME what happens if two .service files offer the same service;
- what kind of error is reported, should we have a way for the client to
- choose one?]
- </p><p>
- The executable launched will have the environment variable
- <code class="literal">DBUS_STARTER_ADDRESS</code> set to the address of the
- message bus so it can connect and request the appropriate names.
- </p><p>
- The executable being launched may want to know whether the message bus
- starting it is one of the well-known message buses (see <a class="xref" href="#message-bus-types" title="Well-known Message Bus Instances">the section called &#8220;Well-known Message Bus Instances&#8221;</a>). To facilitate this, the bus must also set
- the <code class="literal">DBUS_STARTER_BUS_TYPE</code> environment variable if it is one
- of the well-known buses. The currently-defined values for this variable
- are <code class="literal">system</code> for the systemwide message bus,
- and <code class="literal">session</code> for the per-login-session message
- bus. The new executable must still connect to the address given
- in <code class="literal">DBUS_STARTER_ADDRESS</code>, but may assume that the
- resulting connection is to the well-known bus.
- </p><p>
- [FIXME there should be a timeout somewhere, either specified
- in the .service file, by the client, or just a global value
- and if the client being activated fails to connect within that
- timeout, an error should be sent back.]

- The "scope" of a service is its "per-", such as per-session,
- per-machine, per-home-directory, or per-display. The reference
- implementation doesn't yet support starting services in a different
- scope from the message bus itself. So e.g. if you start a service
- on the session bus its scope is per-session.
- </p><p>
- We could add an optional scope to a bus name. For example, for
- per-(display,session pair), we could have a unique ID for each display
- generated automatically at login and set on screen 0 by executing a
- special "set display ID" binary. The ID would be stored in a
- <code class="literal">_DBUS_DISPLAY_ID</code> property and would be a string of
- random bytes. This ID would then be used to scope names.
- Starting/locating a service could be done by ID-name pair rather than
- only by name.
- </p><p>
- Contrast this with a per-display scope. To achieve that, we would
- want a single bus spanning all sessions using a given display.
- So we might set a <code class="literal">_DBUS_DISPLAY_BUS_ADDRESS</code>
- property on screen 0 of the display, pointing to this bus.

- the implementation MUST proceed to check the X selection settings or
- to start the server on its own.
- </p><p>
- If the implementation concludes that the D-Bus server is not
- running it MUST attempt to start a new server and it MUST also
- ensure that the daemon started as an effect of the "autolaunch"
- mechanism provides the lookup mechanisms described above, so
- subsequent calls can locate the newly started server. The
- implementation MUST also ensure that if two or more concurrent
- initiations happen, only one server remains running and all other
- initiations are able to obtain the address of this server and
- connect to it. In other words, the implementation MUST ensure that
- the X selection is not present when it attempts to set it, without
- allowing another process to set the selection between the
- verification and the setting (e.g., by using XGrabServer /

- This glossary defines some of the terms used in this specification.
- </p><dl><dt><a name="term-bus-name"></a>Bus Name</dt><dd><p>
- The message bus maintains an association between names and
- connections. (Normally, there's one connection per application.) A
- bus name is simply an identifier used to locate connections. For
- example, the hypothetical <code class="literal">com.yoyodyne.Screensaver</code>
- name might be used to send a message to a screensaver from Yoyodyne
- Corporation. An application is said to <em class="firstterm">own</em> a
- name if the message bus has associated the application's connection
- with the name. Names may also have <em class="firstterm">queued
- owners</em> (see <a class="xref" href="#term-queued-owner" title="Queued Name Owner">Queued Name Owner</a>).
- The bus assigns a unique name to each connection,
- see <a class="xref" href="#term-unique-name" title="Unique Connection Name">Unique Connection Name</a>. Other names
- can be thought of as "well-known names" and are
- used to find applications that offer specific functionality.
- </p><p>
- See <a class="xref" href="#message-protocol-names-bus" title="Bus names">the section called &#8220;Bus names&#8221;</a> for details of
- the syntax and naming conventions for bus names.
- </p></dd><dt><a name="term-message"></a>Message</dt><dd><p>
- A message is the atomic unit of communication via the D-Bus
- protocol. It consists of a <em class="firstterm">header</em> and a
- <em class="firstterm">body</em>; the body is made up of
- <em class="firstterm">arguments</em>.
- </p></dd><dt><a name="term-message-bus"></a>Message Bus</dt><dd><p>
- The message bus is a special application that forwards
- or routes messages between a group of applications
- connected to the message bus. It also manages
- <em class="firstterm">names</em> used for routing
- messages.
- </p></dd><dt><a name="term-name"></a>Name</dt><dd><p>
- See <a class="xref" href="#term-bus-name" title="Bus Name">Bus Name</a>. "Name" may
- also be used to refer to some of the other names
- in D-Bus, such as interface names.
- </p></dd><dt><a name="namespace"></a>Namespace</dt><dd><p>
- Used to prevent collisions when defining new interfaces, bus names
- etc. The convention used is the same one Java uses for defining
- classes: a reversed domain name.
- See <a class="xref" href="#message-protocol-names-bus" title="Bus names">the section called &#8220;Bus names&#8221;</a>,
- <a class="xref" href="#message-protocol-names-interface" title="Interface names">the section called &#8220;Interface names&#8221;</a>,

- </p></dd><dt><a name="term-object"></a>Object</dt><dd><p>
- Each application contains <em class="firstterm">objects</em>, which have
- <em class="firstterm">interfaces</em> and
- <em class="firstterm">methods</em>. Objects are referred to by a name,
- called a <em class="firstterm">path</em>.
- </p></dd><dt><a name="one-to-one"></a>One-to-One</dt><dd><p>
- An application talking directly to another application, without going
- through a message bus. One-to-one connections may be "peer to peer" or
- "client to server." The D-Bus protocol has no concept of client
- vs. server after a connection has authenticated; the flow of messages
- is symmetrical (full duplex).
- </p></dd><dt><a name="term-path"></a>Path</dt><dd><p>
- Object references (object names) in D-Bus are organized into a
- filesystem-style hierarchy, so each object is named by a path. As in
- LDAP, there's no difference between "files" and "directories"; a path
- can refer to an object, while still having child objects below it.
- </p></dd><dt><a name="term-queued-owner"></a>Queued Name Owner</dt><dd><p>
- Each bus name has a primary owner; messages sent to the name go to the
- primary owner. However, certain names also maintain a queue of
- secondary owners "waiting in the wings." If the primary owner releases
- the name, then the first secondary owner in the queue automatically
- becomes the new owner of the name.
- </p></dd><dt><a name="term-service"></a>Service</dt><dd><p>
- A service is an executable that can be launched by the bus daemon.
- Services normally guarantee some particular features, for example they
- may guarantee that they will request a specific name such as
- "org.freedesktop.Screensaver", have a singleton object
- "/org/freedesktop/Application", and that object will implement the
- interface "org.freedesktop.ScreensaverControl".
- </p></dd><dt><a name="term-service-description-files"></a>Service Description Files</dt><dd><p>
- ".service files" tell the bus about service applications that can be
- launched (see <a class="xref" href="#term-service" title="Service">Service</a>). Most importantly they
- provide a mapping from bus names to services that will request those
- names when they start up.
- </p></dd><dt><a name="term-unique-name"></a>Unique Connection Name</dt><dd><p>
- The special name automatically assigned to each connection by the
- message bus. This name will never change owner, and will be unique
- (never reused during the lifetime of the message bus).
- It will begin with a ':' character.

+ An object path is a name used to refer to an object instance.

- D-Bus can be built with support for testing by passing

- The tests for the client library consist of the dbus-test

- The D-Bus client library consists of some data structures that

- This is one of the parts of D-Bus that

- </p><p>
- To solve these problems, there is a testing feature called the

- string which can then be loaded by the message loader.

- crash or leak memory of any of those, and that the loader
- knows if a message is valid or not.
- </p><p>
- There is also a test program called
- <code class="literal">break-loader</code> that loads a message in
- string-form into raw character form using the message
- builder. It then randomly changes the message, it can for
- example replace single bytes of data or modify the length of
- the message. This is to simulate network errors. The
- break-loader program saves all the messages leading to errors
- so it can easily be run for a long period of time.

- For testing authentication, there is a testing feature that
- can read authentication sequences from a file and play them

- Since the D-Bus bus daemon is using the D-Bus client library it
- will benefit from all tests done on the client library, but
- there is still the issue of testing client-server communication.
- This is more complicated since it it may require another process
- running.
- </p><div class="sect2" title="The debug transport"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="debug-transport"></a>The debug transport</h3></div></div></div><p>
- In D-Bus, a <span class="emphasis"><em>transport</em></span> is a class that
- handles sending and receiving raw data over a certain
- medium. The transport that is used most in D-Bus is the UNIX
- transport with sends and recevies data over a UNIX socket. A
- transport that tunnels data through X11 client messages is
- also under development.
- </p><p>
- The D-Bus debug transport is a specialized transport that
- works in-process. This means that a client and server that
- exists in the same process can talk to eachother without using
- a socket.
- </p></div><div class="sect2" title="The bus-test program"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="bus-test"></a>The bus-test program</h3></div></div></div><p>
- The bus-test program is a program that is used to test various
- parts of the D-Bus bus daemon; robustness and that it conforms
- to the specifications.
- </p><p>
- The test program has the necessary code from the bus daemon
- linked in, and it uses the debug transport for
- communication. This means that the bus daemon code can be
- tested without the real bus actually running, which makes
- testing easier.
- </p><p>
- The bus-test program should test all major features of the
- bus, such as service registration, notification when things
- occurs and message matching.
- </p></div></div><div class="sect1" title="Other tests"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="other-tests"></a>Other tests</h2></div></div></div><div class="sect2" title="Out-Of-Memory robustness"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="oom-robustness"></a>Out-Of-Memory robustness</h3></div></div></div><p>
- Since D-Bus should be able to be used in embedded devices, and
- also as a system service, it should be able to cope with
- low-memory situations without exiting or crashing.
- </p><p>
- In practice, this means that both the client and server code
- must be able to handle dbus_malloc returning NULL.
- </p><p>
- To test this, two environment variables
- exist. <code class="literal">DBUS_MALLOC_FAIL_NTH</code> will make every
- nth call to dbus_malloc return NULL, and
- <code class="literal">DBUS_MALLOC_FAIL_GREATER_THAN</code> will make any
- dbus_malloc call with a request for more than the specified
- number of bytes fail.
- </p></div><div class="sect2" title="Memory leaks and code robustness"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="leaks-and-other-stuff"></a>Memory leaks and code robustness</h3></div></div></div><p>
- Naturally there are some things that tests can't be written
- for, for example things like memory leaks and out-of-bounds
- memory reading or writing.
- </p><p>
- Luckily there exists good tools for catching such errors. One
- free good tool is <a class="ulink" href="http://devel-home.kde.org/~sewardj/" target="_top">Valgrind</a>, which runs the program in a
- virtual CPU which makes catching errors easy. All test programs can be run under Valgrind,

- This tutorial is not complete; it probably contains some useful information, but
- also has plenty of gaps. Right now, you'll also need to refer to the D-Bus specification,
- Doxygen reference documentation, and look at some examples of how other apps use D-Bus.
- </p><p>
- Enhancing the tutorial is definitely encouraged - send your patches or suggestions to the
- mailing list. If you create a D-Bus binding, please add a section to the tutorial for your
- binding, if only a short section with a couple of examples.
- </p></div><div class="sect1" title="What is D-Bus?"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="whatis"></a>What is D-Bus?</h2></div></div></div><p>
- D-Bus is a system for <em class="firstterm">interprocess communication</em>
- (IPC). Architecturally, it has several layers:
-
- </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>
- A library, <em class="firstterm">libdbus</em>, that allows two
- applications to connect to each other and exchange messages.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- A <em class="firstterm">message bus daemon</em> executable, built on
- libdbus, that multiple applications can connect to. The daemon can
- route messages from one application to zero or more other
- applications.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- <em class="firstterm">Wrapper libraries</em> or <em class="firstterm">bindings</em>
- based on particular application frameworks. For example, libdbus-glib and
- libdbus-qt. There are also bindings to languages such as
- Python. These wrapper libraries are the API most people should use,
- as they simplify the details of D-Bus programming. libdbus is
- intended to be a low-level backend for the higher level bindings.
- Much of the libdbus API is only useful for binding implementation.
- </p></li></ul></div><p>
- </p><p>
- libdbus only supports one-to-one connections, just like a raw network
- socket. However, rather than sending byte streams over the connection, you
- send <em class="firstterm">messages</em>. Messages have a header identifying
- the kind of message, and a body containing a data payload. libdbus also
- abstracts the exact transport used (sockets vs. whatever else), and
- handles details such as authentication.
- </p><p>
- The message bus daemon forms the hub of a wheel. Each spoke of the wheel
- is a one-to-one connection to an application using libdbus. An
- application sends a message to the bus daemon over its spoke, and the bus
- daemon forwards the message to other connected applications as
- appropriate. Think of the daemon as a router.
- </p><p>
- The bus daemon has multiple instances on a typical computer. The
- first instance is a machine-global singleton, that is, a system daemon
- similar to sendmail or Apache. This instance has heavy security
- restrictions on what messages it will accept, and is used for systemwide
- communication. The other instances are created one per user login session.
- These instances allow applications in the user's session to communicate
- with one another.
- </p><p>
- The systemwide and per-user daemons are separate. Normal within-session
- IPC does not involve the systemwide message bus process and vice versa.
- </p><div class="sect2" title="D-Bus applications"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="uses"></a>D-Bus applications</h3></div></div></div><p>
- There are many, many technologies in the world that have "Inter-process
- communication" or "networking" in their stated purpose: <a class="ulink" href="http://www.omg.org" target="_top">CORBA</a>, <a class="ulink" href="http://www.opengroup.org/dce/" target="_top">DCE</a>, <a class="ulink" href="http://www.microsoft.com/com/" target="_top">DCOM</a>, <a class="ulink" href="http://developer.kde.org/documentation/library/kdeqt/dcop.html" target="_top">DCOP</a>, <a class="ulink" href="http://www.xmlrpc.com" target="_top">XML-RPC</a>, <a class="ulink" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/SOAP/" target="_top">SOAP</a>, <a class="ulink" href="http://www.mbus.org/" target="_top">MBUS</a>, <a class="ulink" href="http://www.zeroc.com/ice.html" target="_top">Internet Communications Engine (ICE)</a>,
- and probably hundreds more.
- Each of these is tailored for particular kinds of application.
- D-Bus is designed for two specific cases:
- </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>
- Communication between desktop applications in the same desktop
- session; to allow integration of the desktop session as a whole,
- and address issues of process lifecycle (when do desktop components
- start and stop running).
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- Communication between the desktop session and the operating system,
- where the operating system would typically include the kernel
- and any system daemons or processes.
- </p></li></ul></div><p>
- </p><p>
- For the within-desktop-session use case, the GNOME and KDE desktops
- have significant previous experience with different IPC solutions
- such as CORBA and DCOP. D-Bus is built on that experience and
- carefully tailored to meet the needs of these desktop projects
- in particular. D-Bus may or may not be appropriate for other
- applications; the FAQ has some comparisons to other IPC systems.
- </p><p>
- The problem solved by the systemwide or communication-with-the-OS case
- is explained well by the following text from the Linux Hotplug project:
- </p><div class="blockquote"><blockquote class="blockquote"><p>
- A gap in current Linux support is that policies with any sort of
- dynamic "interact with user" component aren't currently
- supported. For example, that's often needed the first time a network
- adapter or printer is connected, and to determine appropriate places
- to mount disk drives. It would seem that such actions could be
- supported for any case where a responsible human can be identified:
- single user workstations, or any system which is remotely
- administered.
- </p><p>
- This is a classic "remote sysadmin" problem, where in this case
- hotplugging needs to deliver an event from one security domain
- (operating system kernel, in this case) to another (desktop for
- logged-in user, or remote sysadmin). Any effective response must go
- the other way: the remote domain taking some action that lets the
- kernel expose the desired device capabilities. (The action can often
- be taken asynchronously, for example letting new hardware be idle
- until a meeting finishes.) At this writing, Linux doesn't have
- widely adopted solutions to such problems. However, the new D-Bus
- work may begin to solve that problem.
- </p></blockquote></div><p>
- </p><p>
- D-Bus may happen to be useful for purposes other than the one it was
- designed for. Its general properties that distinguish it from
- other forms of IPC are:
- </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>
- Binary protocol designed to be used asynchronously
- (similar in spirit to the X Window System protocol).
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- Stateful, reliable connections held open over time.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- The message bus is a daemon, not a "swarm" or
- distributed architecture.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- Many implementation and deployment issues are specified rather
- than left ambiguous/configurable/pluggable.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- Semantics are similar to the existing DCOP system, allowing
- KDE to adopt it more easily.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- Security features to support the systemwide mode of the
- message bus.
- </p></li></ul></div><p>
- </p></div></div><div class="sect1" title="Concepts"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="concepts"></a>Concepts</h2></div></div></div><p>
- Some basic concepts apply no matter what application framework you're
- using to write a D-Bus application. The exact code you write will be
- different for GLib vs. Qt vs. Python applications, however.
- </p><p>
- Here is a diagram (<a class="ulink" href="diagram.png" target="_top">png</a> <a class="ulink" href="diagram.svg" target="_top">svg</a>) that may help you visualize the concepts
- that follow.
- </p><div class="sect2" title="Native Objects and Object Paths"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="objects"></a>Native Objects and Object Paths</h3></div></div></div><p>
- Your programming framework probably defines what an "object" is like;
- usually with a base class. For example: java.lang.Object, GObject, QObject,
- python's base Object, or whatever. Let's call this a <em class="firstterm">native object</em>.
- </p><p>
- The low-level D-Bus protocol, and corresponding libdbus API, does not care about native objects.
- However, it provides a concept called an
- <em class="firstterm">object path</em>. The idea of an object path is that
- higher-level bindings can name native object instances, and allow remote applications
- to refer to them.
- </p><p>
- The object path
- looks like a filesystem path, for example an object could be
- named <code class="literal">/org/kde/kspread/sheets/3/cells/4/5</code>.
- Human-readable paths are nice, but you are free to create an
- object named <code class="literal">/com/mycompany/c5yo817y0c1y1c5b</code>
- if it makes sense for your application.
- </p><p>
- Namespacing object paths is smart, by starting them with the components
- of a domain name you own (e.g. <code class="literal">/org/kde</code>). This
- keeps different code modules in the same process from stepping
- on one another's toes.
- </p></div><div class="sect2" title="Methods and Signals"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="members"></a>Methods and Signals</h3></div></div></div><p>
- Each object has <em class="firstterm">members</em>; the two kinds of member
- are <em class="firstterm">methods</em> and
- <em class="firstterm">signals</em>. Methods are operations that can be
- invoked on an object, with optional input (aka arguments or "in
- parameters") and output (aka return values or "out parameters").
- Signals are broadcasts from the object to any interested observers
- of the object; signals may contain a data payload.
- </p><p>
- Both methods and signals are referred to by name, such as
- "Frobate" or "OnClicked".
- </p></div><div class="sect2" title="Interfaces"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="interfaces"></a>Interfaces</h3></div></div></div><p>
- Each object supports one or more <em class="firstterm">interfaces</em>.
- Think of an interface as a named group of methods and signals,
- just as it is in GLib or Qt or Java. Interfaces define the
- <span class="emphasis"><em>type</em></span> of an object instance.
- </p><p>
- DBus identifies interfaces with a simple namespaced string,
- something like <code class="literal">org.freedesktop.Introspectable</code>.
- Most bindings will map these interface names directly to
- the appropriate programming language construct, for example
- to Java interfaces or C++ pure virtual classes.
- </p></div><div class="sect2" title="Proxies"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="proxies"></a>Proxies</h3></div></div></div><p>
- A <em class="firstterm">proxy object</em> is a convenient native object created to
- represent a remote object in another process. The low-level DBus API involves manually creating
- a method call message, sending it, then manually receiving and processing
- the method reply message. Higher-level bindings provide proxies as an alternative.
- Proxies look like a normal native object; but when you invoke a method on the proxy
- object, the binding converts it into a DBus method call message, waits for the reply
- message, unpacks the return value, and returns it from the native method..
- </p><p>
- In pseudocode, programming without proxies might look like this:
- </p><pre class="programlisting">
- Message message = new Message("/remote/object/path", "MethodName", arg1, arg2);
- Connection connection = getBusConnection();
- connection.send(message);
- Message reply = connection.waitForReply(message);
- if (reply.isError()) {
-
- } else {
- Object returnValue = reply.getReturnValue();
- }
- </pre><p>
- </p><p>
- Programming with proxies might look like this:
- </p><pre class="programlisting">
- Proxy proxy = new Proxy(getBusConnection(), "/remote/object/path");
- Object returnValue = proxy.MethodName(arg1, arg2);
- </pre><p>
- </p></div><div class="sect2" title="Bus Names"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="bus-names"></a>Bus Names</h3></div></div></div><p>
- When each application connects to the bus daemon, the daemon immediately
- assigns it a name, called the <em class="firstterm">unique connection name</em>.
- A unique name begins with a ':' (colon) character. These names are never
- reused during the lifetime of the bus daemon - that is, you know
- a given name will always refer to the same application.
- An example of a unique name might be
- <code class="literal">:34-907</code>. The numbers after the colon have
- no meaning other than their uniqueness.
- </p><p>
- When a name is mapped
- to a particular application's connection, that application is said to
- <em class="firstterm">own</em> that name.
- </p><p>
- Applications may ask to own additional <em class="firstterm">well-known
- names</em>. For example, you could write a specification to
- define a name called <code class="literal">com.mycompany.TextEditor</code>.
- Your definition could specify that to own this name, an application
- should have an object at the path
- <code class="literal">/com/mycompany/TextFileManager</code> supporting the
- interface <code class="literal">org.freedesktop.FileHandler</code>.
- </p><p>
- Applications could then send messages to this bus name,
- object, and interface to execute method calls.
- </p><p>
- You could think of the unique names as IP addresses, and the
- well-known names as domain names. So
- <code class="literal">com.mycompany.TextEditor</code> might map to something like
- <code class="literal">:34-907</code> just as <code class="literal">mycompany.com</code> maps
- to something like <code class="literal">192.168.0.5</code>.
- </p><p>
- Names have a second important use, other than routing messages. They
- are used to track lifecycle. When an application exits (or crashes), its
- connection to the message bus will be closed by the operating system
- kernel. The message bus then sends out notification messages telling
- remaining applications that the application's names have lost their
- owner. By tracking these notifications, your application can reliably
- monitor the lifetime of other applications.
- </p><p>
- Bus names can also be used to coordinate single-instance applications.
- If you want to be sure only one
- <code class="literal">com.mycompany.TextEditor</code> application is running for
- example, have the text editor application exit if the bus name already
- has an owner.
- </p></div><div class="sect2" title="Addresses"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="addresses"></a>Addresses</h3></div></div></div><p>
- Applications using D-Bus are either servers or clients. A server
- listens for incoming connections; a client connects to a server. Once
- the connection is established, it is a symmetric flow of messages; the
- client-server distinction only matters when setting up the
- connection.
- </p><p>
- If you're using the bus daemon, as you probably are, your application
- will be a client of the bus daemon. That is, the bus daemon listens
- for connections and your application initiates a connection to the bus
- daemon.
- </p><p>
- A D-Bus <em class="firstterm">address</em> specifies where a server will
- listen, and where a client will connect. For example, the address
- <code class="literal">unix:path=/tmp/abcdef</code> specifies that the server will
- listen on a UNIX domain socket at the path
- <code class="literal">/tmp/abcdef</code> and the client will connect to that
- socket. An address can also specify TCP/IP sockets, or any other
- transport defined in future iterations of the D-Bus specification.
- </p><p>
- When using D-Bus with a message bus daemon,
- libdbus automatically discovers the address of the per-session bus
- daemon by reading an environment variable. It discovers the
- systemwide bus daemon by checking a well-known UNIX domain socket path
- (though you can override this address with an environment variable).
- </p><p>
- If you're using D-Bus without a bus daemon, it's up to you to
- define which application will be the server and which will be
- the client, and specify a mechanism for them to agree on
- the server's address. This is an unusual case.
- </p></div><div class="sect2" title="Big Conceptual Picture"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="bigpicture"></a>Big Conceptual Picture</h3></div></div></div><p>
- Pulling all these concepts together, to specify a particular
- method call on a particular object instance, a number of
- nested components have to be named:
- </p><pre class="programlisting">
- Address -&gt; [Bus Name] -&gt; Path -&gt; Interface -&gt; Method
- </pre><p>
- The bus name is in brackets to indicate that it's optional -- you only
- provide a name to route the method call to the right application
- when using the bus daemon. If you have a direct connection to another
- application, bus names aren't used; there's no bus daemon.
- </p><p>
- The interface is also optional, primarily for historical
- reasons; DCOP does not require specifying the interface,
- instead simply forbidding duplicate method names
- on the same object instance. D-Bus will thus let you
- omit the interface, but if your method name is ambiguous
- it is undefined which method will be invoked.
- </p></div><div class="sect2" title="Messages - Behind the Scenes"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="messages"></a>Messages - Behind the Scenes</h3></div></div></div><p>
- D-Bus works by sending messages between processes. If you're using
- a sufficiently high-level binding, you may never work with messages directly.
- </p><p>
- There are 4 message types:
- </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>
- Method call messages ask to invoke a method
- on an object.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- Method return messages return the results

- A method call maps very simply to messages: you send a method call
- message, and receive either a method return message or an error message
- in reply.
- </p><p>
- Each message has a <em class="firstterm">header</em>, including <em class="firstterm">fields</em>,
- and a <em class="firstterm">body</em>, including <em class="firstterm">arguments</em>. You can think
- of the header as the routing information for the message, and the body as the payload.
- Header fields might include the sender bus name, destination bus name, method or signal name,
- and so forth. One of the header fields is a <em class="firstterm">type signature</em> describing the
- values found in the body. For example, the letter "i" means "32-bit integer" so the signature
- "ii" means the payload has two 32-bit integers.

- A method call in DBus consists of two messages; a method call message sent from process A to process B,
- and a matching method reply message sent from process B to process A. Both the call and the reply messages
- are routed through the bus daemon. The caller includes a different serial number in each call message, and the
- reply message includes this number to allow the caller to match replies to calls.
- </p><p>
- The call message will contain any arguments to the method.
- The reply message may indicate an error, or may contain data returned by the method.
- </p><p>
- A method invocation in DBus happens as follows:
- </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>
- The language binding may provide a proxy, such that invoking a method on
- an in-process object invokes a method on a remote object in another process. If so, the
- application calls a method on the proxy, and the proxy
- constructs a method call message to send to the remote process.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- For more low-level APIs, the application may construct a method call message itself, without
- using a proxy.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- In either case, the method call message contains: a bus name belonging to the remote process; the name of the method;
- the arguments to the method; an object path inside the remote process; and optionally the name of the
- interface that specifies the method.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- The method call message is sent to the bus daemon.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- The bus daemon looks at the destination bus name. If a process owns that name,
- the bus daemon forwards the method call to that process. Otherwise, the bus daemon
- creates an error message and sends it back as the reply to the method call message.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- The receiving process unpacks the method call message. In a simple low-level API situation, it
- may immediately run the method and send a method reply message to the bus daemon.
- When using a high-level binding API, the binding might examine the object path, interface,
- and method name, and convert the method call message into an invocation of a method on
- a native object (GObject, java.lang.Object, QObject, etc.), then convert the return
- value from the native method into a method reply message.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- The bus daemon receives the method reply message and sends it to the process that
- made the method call.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- The process that made the method call looks at the method reply and makes use of any
- return values included in the reply. The reply may also indicate that an error occurred.
- When using a binding, the method reply message may be converted into the return value of
- of a proxy method, or into an exception.
- </p></li></ul></div><p>
- </p><p>
- The bus daemon never reorders messages. That is, if you send two method call messages to the same recipient,
- they will be received in the order they were sent. The recipient is not required to reply to the calls
- in order, however; for example, it may process each method call in a separate thread, and return reply messages
- in an undefined order depending on when the threads complete. Method calls have a unique serial
- number used by the method caller to match reply messages to call messages.
- </p></div><div class="sect2" title="Emitting a Signal - Behind the Scenes"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="signalprocedure"></a>Emitting a Signal - Behind the Scenes</h3></div></div></div><p>
- A signal in DBus consists of a single message, sent by one process to any number of other processes.
- That is, a signal is a unidirectional broadcast. The signal may contain arguments (a data payload), but
- because it is a broadcast, it never has a "return value." Contrast this with a method call
- (see <a class="xref" href="#callprocedure" title="Calling a Method - Behind the Scenes">the section called &#8220;Calling a Method - Behind the Scenes&#8221;</a>) where the method call message has a matching method reply message.
- </p><p>
- The emitter (aka sender) of a signal has no knowledge of the signal recipients. Recipients register
- with the bus daemon to receive signals based on "match rules" - these rules would typically include the sender and
- the signal name. The bus daemon sends each signal only to recipients who have expressed interest in that
- signal.
- </p><p>
- A signal in DBus happens as follows:
- </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>
- A signal message is created and sent to the bus daemon. When using the low-level API this may be
- done manually, with certain bindings it may be done for you by the binding when a native object
- emits a native signal or event.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- The signal message contains the name of the interface that specifies the signal;
- the name of the signal; the bus name of the process sending the signal; and
- any arguments
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- Any process on the message bus can register "match rules" indicating which signals it
- is interested in. The bus has a list of registered match rules.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- The bus daemon examines the signal and determines which processes are interested in it.
- It sends the signal message to these processes.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- Each process receiving the signal decides what to do with it; if using a binding,
- the binding may choose to emit a native signal on a proxy object. If using the
- low-level API, the process may just look at the signal sender and name and decide
- what to do based on that.
- </p></li></ul></div><p>

- The heart of the GLib bindings for D-Bus is the mapping it
- provides between D-Bus "type signatures" and GLib types
- (<code class="literal">GType</code>). The D-Bus type system is composed of
- a number of "basic" types, along with several "container" types.
- </p><div class="sect3" title="Basic type mappings"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a name="glib-basic-typemappings"></a>Basic type mappings</h4></div></div></div><p>
- Below is a list of the basic types, along with their associated
- mapping to a <code class="literal">GType</code>.
- </p><div class="informaltable"><table border="1"><colgroup><col><col><col><col></colgroup><thead><tr><th>D-Bus basic type</th><th>GType</th><th>Free function</th><th>Notes</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><code class="literal">BYTE</code></td><td><code class="literal">G_TYPE_UCHAR</code></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><code class="literal">BOOLEAN</code></td><td><code class="literal">G_TYPE_BOOLEAN</code></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><code class="literal">INT16</code></td><td><code class="literal">G_TYPE_INT</code></td><td> </td><td>Will be changed to a <code class="literal">G_TYPE_INT16</code> once GLib has it</td></tr><tr><td><code class="literal">UINT16</code></td><td><code class="literal">G_TYPE_UINT</code></td><td> </td><td>Will be changed to a <code class="literal">G_TYPE_UINT16</code> once GLib has it</td></tr><tr><td><code class="literal">INT32</code></td><td><code class="literal">G_TYPE_INT</code></td><td> </td><td>Will be changed to a <code class="literal">G_TYPE_INT32</code> once GLib has it</td></tr><tr><td><code class="literal">UINT32</code></td><td><code class="literal">G_TYPE_UINT</code></td><td> </td><td>Will be changed to a <code class="literal">G_TYPE_UINT32</code> once GLib has it</td></tr><tr><td><code class="literal">INT64</code></td><td><code class="literal">G_TYPE_GINT64</code></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><code class="literal">UINT64</code></td><td><code class="literal">G_TYPE_GUINT64</code></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><code class="literal">DOUBLE</code></td><td><code class="literal">G_TYPE_DOUBLE</code></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><code class="literal">STRING</code></td><td><code class="literal">G_TYPE_STRING</code></td><td><code class="literal">g_free</code></td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><code class="literal">OBJECT_PATH</code></td><td><code class="literal">DBUS_TYPE_G_PROXY</code></td><td><code class="literal">g_object_unref</code></td><td>The returned proxy does not have an interface set; use <code class="literal">dbus_g_proxy_set_interface</code> to invoke methods</td></tr></tbody></table></div><p>
- As you can see, the basic mapping is fairly straightforward.
- </p></div><div class="sect3" title="Container type mappings"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a name="glib-container-typemappings"></a>Container type mappings</h4></div></div></div><p>
- The D-Bus type system also has a number of "container"
- types, such as <code class="literal">DBUS_TYPE_ARRAY</code> and
- <code class="literal">DBUS_TYPE_STRUCT</code>. The D-Bus type system
- is fully recursive, so one can for example have an array of
- array of strings (i.e. type signature
- <code class="literal">aas</code>).
- </p><p>
- However, not all of these types are in common use; for
- example, at the time of this writing the author knows of no
- one using <code class="literal">DBUS_TYPE_STRUCT</code>, or a
- <code class="literal">DBUS_TYPE_ARRAY</code> containing any non-basic
- type. The approach the GLib bindings take is pragmatic; try
- to map the most common types in the most obvious way, and
- let using less common and more complex types be less
- "natural".
- </p><p>
- First, D-Bus type signatures which have an "obvious"
- corresponding built-in GLib type are mapped using that type:
- </p><div class="informaltable"><table border="1"><colgroup><col><col><col><col><col><col></colgroup><thead><tr><th>D-Bus type signature</th><th>Description</th><th>GType</th><th>C typedef</th><th>Free function</th><th>Notes</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><code class="literal">as</code></td><td>Array of strings</td><td><code class="literal">G_TYPE_STRV</code></td><td><code class="literal">char **</code></td><td><code class="literal">g_strfreev</code></td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><code class="literal">v</code></td><td>Generic value container</td><td><code class="literal">G_TYPE_VALUE</code></td><td><code class="literal">GValue *</code></td><td><code class="literal">g_value_unset</code></td><td>The calling conventions for values expect that method callers have allocated return values; see below.</td></tr></tbody></table></div><p>
- </p><p>
- The next most common recursive type signatures are arrays of
- basic values. The most obvious mapping for arrays of basic
- types is a <code class="literal">GArray</code>. Now, GLib does not
- provide a builtin <code class="literal">GType</code> for
- <code class="literal">GArray</code>. However, we actually need more than
- that - we need a "parameterized" type which includes the
- contained type. Why we need this we will see below.
- </p><p>
- The approach taken is to create these types in the D-Bus GLib
- bindings; however, there is nothing D-Bus specific about them.
- In the future, we hope to include such "fundamental" types in GLib
- itself.
- </p><div class="informaltable"><table border="1"><colgroup><col><col><col><col><col><col></colgroup><thead><tr><th>D-Bus type signature</th><th>Description</th><th>GType</th><th>C typedef</th><th>Free function</th><th>Notes</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><code class="literal">ay</code></td><td>Array of bytes</td><td><code class="literal">DBUS_TYPE_G_BYTE_ARRAY</code></td><td><code class="literal">GArray *</code></td><td>g_array_free</td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><code class="literal">au</code></td><td>Array of uint</td><td><code class="literal">DBUS_TYPE_G_UINT_ARRAY</code></td><td><code class="literal">GArray *</code></td><td>g_array_free</td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><code class="literal">ai</code></td><td>Array of int</td><td><code class="literal">DBUS_TYPE_G_INT_ARRAY</code></td><td><code class="literal">GArray *</code></td><td>g_array_free</td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><code class="literal">ax</code></td><td>Array of int64</td><td><code class="literal">DBUS_TYPE_G_INT64_ARRAY</code></td><td><code class="literal">GArray *</code></td><td>g_array_free</td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><code class="literal">at</code></td><td>Array of uint64</td><td><code class="literal">DBUS_TYPE_G_UINT64_ARRAY</code></td><td><code class="literal">GArray *</code></td><td>g_array_free</td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><code class="literal">ad</code></td><td>Array of double</td><td><code class="literal">DBUS_TYPE_G_DOUBLE_ARRAY</code></td><td><code class="literal">GArray *</code></td><td>g_array_free</td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><code class="literal">ab</code></td><td>Array of boolean</td><td><code class="literal">DBUS_TYPE_G_BOOLEAN_ARRAY</code></td><td><code class="literal">GArray *</code></td><td>g_array_free</td><td> </td></tr></tbody></table></div><p>
- </p><p>
- D-Bus also includes a special type DBUS_TYPE_DICT_ENTRY which
- is only valid in arrays. It's intended to be mapped to a "dictionary"
- type by bindings. The obvious GLib mapping here is GHashTable. Again,
- however, there is no builtin <code class="literal">GType</code> for a GHashTable.
- Moreover, just like for arrays, we need a parameterized type so that
- the bindings can communiate which types are contained in the hash table.
- </p><p>
- At present, only strings are supported. Work is in progress to
- include more types.

- Finally, it is possible users will want to write or invoke D-Bus
- methods which have arbitrarily complex type signatures not
- directly supported by these bindings. For this case, we have a
- <code class="literal">DBusGValue</code> which acts as a kind of special
- variant value which may be iterated over manually. The

- By using the Introspection XML files, convenient client-side bindings
- can be automatically created to ease the use of a remote DBus object.
- </p><p>
- Here is a sample XML file which describes an object that exposes
- one method, named <code class="literal">ManyArgs</code>.
- </p><pre class="programlisting">
-&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?&gt;
-&lt;node name="/com/example/MyObject"&gt;
- &lt;interface name="com.example.MyObject"&gt;
- &lt;method name="ManyArgs"&gt;
- &lt;arg type="u" name="x" direction="in" /&gt;
- &lt;arg type="s" name="str" direction="in" /&gt;
- &lt;arg type="d" name="trouble" direction="in" /&gt;
- &lt;arg type="d" name="d_ret" direction="out" /&gt;
- &lt;arg type="s" name="str_ret" direction="out" /&gt;
- &lt;/method&gt;
- &lt;/interface&gt;
-&lt;/node&gt;
-</pre><p>
- </p><p>
- Run <code class="literal">dbus-binding-tool --mode=glib-client
- <em class="replaceable"><code>FILENAME</code></em> &gt;
- <em class="replaceable"><code>HEADER_NAME</code></em></code> to generate the header
- file. For example: <span class="command"><strong>dbus-binding-tool --mode=glib-client
- my-object.xml &gt; my-object-bindings.h</strong></span>. This will generate
- inline functions with the following prototypes:
- </p><pre class="programlisting">
-/* This is a blocking call */
-gboolean
-com_example_MyObject_many_args (DBusGProxy *proxy, const guint IN_x,
- const char * IN_str, const gdouble IN_trouble,
- gdouble* OUT_d_ret, char ** OUT_str_ret,
- GError **error);
-
-/* This is a non-blocking call */
-DBusGProxyCall*
-com_example_MyObject_many_args_async (DBusGProxy *proxy, const guint IN_x,
- const char * IN_str, const gdouble IN_trouble,
- com_example_MyObject_many_args_reply callback,
- gpointer userdata);
-
-/* This is the typedef for the non-blocking callback */
-typedef void
-(*com_example_MyObject_many_args_reply)
-(DBusGProxy *proxy, gdouble OUT_d_ret, char * OUT_str_ret,
- GError *error, gpointer userdata);
-</pre><p>
- The first argument in all functions is a <code class="literal">DBusGProxy
- *</code>, which you should create with the usual
- <code class="literal">dbus_g_proxy_new_*</code> functions. Following that are the
- "in" arguments, and then either the "out" arguments and a
- <code class="literal">GError *</code> for the synchronous (blocking) function, or
- callback and user data arguments for the asynchronous (non-blocking)
- function. The callback in the asynchronous function passes the
- <code class="literal">DBusGProxy *</code>, the returned "out" arguments, an
- <code class="literal">GError *</code> which is set if there was an error otherwise
- <code class="literal">NULL</code>, and the user data.
- </p><p>
- As with the server-side bindings support (see <a class="xref" href="#glib-server" title="GLib API: Implementing Objects">the section called &#8220;GLib API: Implementing Objects&#8221;</a>), the exact behaviour of the client-side
- bindings can be manipulated using "annotations". Currently the only
- annotation used by the client bindings is
- <code class="literal">org.freedesktop.DBus.GLib.NoReply</code>, which sets the
- flag indicating that the client isn't expecting a reply to the method
- call, so a reply shouldn't be sent. This is often used to speed up
- rapid method calls where there are no "out" arguments, and not knowing
- if the method succeeded is an acceptable compromise to half the traffic
- on the bus.
- </p></div></div><div class="sect1" title="GLib API: Implementing Objects"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="glib-server"></a>GLib API: Implementing Objects</h2></div></div></div><p>
- At the moment, to expose a GObject via D-Bus, you must
- write XML by hand which describes the methods exported
- by the object. In the future, this manual step will
- be obviated by the upcoming GLib introspection support.
- </p><p>
- Here is a sample XML file which describes an object that exposes
- one method, named <code class="literal">ManyArgs</code>.
-</p><pre class="programlisting">
-&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?&gt;
-
-&lt;node name="/com/example/MyObject"&gt;
-
- &lt;interface name="com.example.MyObject"&gt;
- &lt;annotation name="org.freedesktop.DBus.GLib.CSymbol" value="my_object"/&gt;
- &lt;method name="ManyArgs"&gt;
- &lt;!-- This is optional, and in this case is redunundant --&gt;
- &lt;annotation name="org.freedesktop.DBus.GLib.CSymbol" value="my_object_many_args"/&gt;
- &lt;arg type="u" name="x" direction="in" /&gt;
- &lt;arg type="s" name="str" direction="in" /&gt;
- &lt;arg type="d" name="trouble" direction="in" /&gt;
- &lt;arg type="d" name="d_ret" direction="out" /&gt;
- &lt;arg type="s" name="str_ret" direction="out" /&gt;
- &lt;/method&gt;
- &lt;/interface&gt;
-&lt;/node&gt;
-</pre><p>
- </p><p>
- This XML is in the same format as the D-Bus introspection XML
- format. Except we must include an "annotation" which give the C
- symbols corresponding to the object implementation prefix
- (<code class="literal">my_object</code>). In addition, if particular
- methods symbol names deviate from C convention
- (i.e. <code class="literal">ManyArgs</code> -&gt;
- <code class="literal">many_args</code>), you may specify an annotation
- giving the C symbol.
- </p><p>
- Once you have written this XML, run <code class="literal">dbus-binding-tool --mode=glib-server <em class="replaceable"><code>FILENAME</code></em> &gt; <em class="replaceable"><code>HEADER_NAME</code></em>.</code> to
- generate a header file. For example: <span class="command"><strong>dbus-binding-tool --mode=glib-server my-object.xml &gt; my-object-glue.h</strong></span>.
- </p><p>
- Next, include the generated header in your program, and invoke
- <code class="literal">dbus_g_object_class_install_info</code> in the class
- initializer, passing the object class and "object info" included in the
- header. For example:
- </p><pre class="programlisting">
- dbus_g_object_type_install_info (COM_FOO_TYPE_MY_OBJECT, &amp;com_foo_my_object_info);
- </pre><p>
- This should be done exactly once per object class.
- </p><p>
- To actually implement the method, just define a C function named e.g.
- <code class="literal">my_object_many_args</code> in the same file as the info
- header is included. At the moment, it is required that this function
- conform to the following rules:
- </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>
- The function must return a value of type <code class="literal">gboolean</code>;
- <code class="literal">TRUE</code> on success, and <code class="literal">FALSE</code>
- otherwise.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- The first parameter is a pointer to an instance of the object.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- Following the object instance pointer are the method
- input values.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- Following the input values are pointers to return values.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- The final parameter must be a <code class="literal">GError **</code>.
- If the function returns <code class="literal">FALSE</code> for an
- error, the error parameter must be initalized with
- <code class="literal">g_set_error</code>.
- </p></li></ul></div><p>
- </p><p>
- Finally, you can export an object using <code class="literal">dbus_g_connection_register_g_object</code>. For example:
- </p><pre class="programlisting">
- dbus_g_connection_register_g_object (connection,
- "/com/foo/MyObject",
- obj);
- </pre><p>
- </p><div class="sect2" title="Server-side Annotations"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="glib-annotations"></a>Server-side Annotations</h3></div></div></div><p>
- There are several annotations that are used when generating the
- server-side bindings. The most common annotation is
- <code class="literal">org.freedesktop.DBus.GLib.CSymbol</code> but there are other
- annotations which are often useful.
- </p><div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">org.freedesktop.DBus.GLib.CSymbol</code></span></dt><dd><p>
- This annotation is used to specify the C symbol names for
- the various types (interface, method, etc), if it differs from the
- name DBus generates.
- </p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">org.freedesktop.DBus.GLib.Async</code></span></dt><dd><p>
- This annotation marks the method implementation as an
- asynchronous function, which doesn't return a response straight
- away but will send the response at some later point to complete
- the call. This is used to implement non-blocking services where
- method calls can take time.
- </p><p>
- When a method is asynchronous, the function prototype is
- different. It is required that the function conform to the
- following rules:
- </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>
- The function must return a value of type <code class="literal">gboolean</code>;
- <code class="literal">TRUE</code> on success, and <code class="literal">FALSE</code>
- otherwise. TODO: the return value is currently ignored.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- The first parameter is a pointer to an instance of the object.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- Following the object instance pointer are the method
- input values.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- The final parameter must be a
- <code class="literal">DBusGMethodInvocation *</code>. This is used
- when sending the response message back to the client, by
- calling <code class="literal">dbus_g_method_return</code> or
- <code class="literal">dbus_g_method_return_error</code>.
- </p></li></ul></div><p>
- </p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">org.freedesktop.DBus.GLib.Const</code></span></dt><dd><p>This attribute can only be applied to "out"
- <code class="literal">&lt;arg&gt;</code> nodes, and specifies that the
- parameter isn't being copied when returned. For example, this
- turns a 's' argument from a <code class="literal">char **</code> to a
- <code class="literal">const char **</code>, and results in the argument not
- being freed by DBus after the message is sent.
- </p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">org.freedesktop.DBus.GLib.ReturnVal</code></span></dt><dd><p>
- This attribute can only be applied to "out"
- <code class="literal">&lt;arg&gt;</code> nodes, and alters the expected
- function signature. It currently can be set to two values:
- <code class="literal">""</code> or <code class="literal">"error"</code>. The
- argument marked with this attribute is not returned via a
- pointer argument, but by the function's return value. If the
- attribute's value is the empty string, the <code class="literal">GError
- *</code> argument is also omitted so there is no standard way
- to return an error value. This is very useful for interfacing
- with existing code, as it is possible to match existing APIs.
- If the attribute's value is <code class="literal">"error"</code>, then the
- final argument is a <code class="literal">GError *</code> as usual.
- </p><p>
- Some examples to demonstrate the usage. This introspection XML:
- </p><pre class="programlisting">

-.TH dbus\-uuidgen 1
-.SH NAME
-dbus\-uuidgen \- Utility to generate UUIDs
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.PP
-.B dbus\-uuidgen [\-\-version] [\-\-ensure[=FILENAME]] [\-\-get[=FILENAME]]
-
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-
-The \fIdbus\-uuidgen\fP command generates or reads a universally unique ID.
-
-.PP
-Note that the D\-Bus UUID has no relationship to RFC 4122 and does not generate
-UUIDs compatible with that spec. Many systems have a separate command
-for that (often called "uuidgen").
-
-.PP
-See http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/ for more information
-about D\-Bus.
-
-.PP
-The primary usage of \fIdbus\-uuidgen\fP is to run in the post\-install
-script of a D\-Bus package like this:
-.nf
- dbus\-uuidgen \-\-ensure
-.fi
-
-.PP
-This will ensure that /var/lib/dbus/machine\-id exists and has the uuid in it.
-It won't overwrite an existing uuid, since this id should remain fixed
-for a single machine until the next reboot at least.
-
-.PP
-The important properties of the machine UUID are that 1) it remains
-unchanged until the next reboot and 2) it is different for any two
-running instances of the OS kernel. That is, if two processes see the
-same UUID, they should also see the same shared memory, UNIX domain
-sockets, local X displays, localhost.localdomain resolution, process
-IDs, and so forth.
-
-.PP
-If you run \fIdbus\-uuidgen\fP with no options it just prints a new uuid made
-up out of thin air.
-
-.PP
-If you run it with \-\-get, it prints the machine UUID by default, or
-the UUID in the specified file if you specify a file.
-
-.PP
-If you try to change an existing machine\-id on a running system, it will
-probably result in bad things happening. Don't try to change this file. Also,
-don't make it the same on two different systems; it needs to be different
-anytime there are two different kernels running.
-
-.PP
-The UUID should be different on two different virtual machines,
-because there are two different kernels.
-
-.SH OPTIONS
-The following options are supported:
-.TP
-.I "\-\-get[=FILENAME]"
-If a filename is not given, defaults to localstatedir/lib/dbus/machine\-id
-(localstatedir is usually /var). If this file exists and is valid, the
-uuid in the file is printed on stdout. Otherwise, the command exits
-with a nonzero status.
-
-.TP
-.I "\-\-ensure[=FILENAME]"
-If a filename is not given, defaults to localstatedir/lib/dbus/machine\-id
-(localstatedir is usually /var). If this file exists then it will be
-validated, and a failure code returned if it contains the wrong thing.
-If the file does not exist, it will be created with a new uuid in it.
-On success, prints no output.
-
-.TP
-.I "\-\-version"
-Print the version of dbus\-uuidgen
-
-.SH AUTHOR
-See http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/doc/AUTHORS
-
-.SH BUGS
-Please send bug reports to the D\-Bus mailing list or bug tracker,
-see http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/
