Detailed Description

Shared header included by both libdbus and C/C++ bindings such as the GLib bindings.

Usually a C/C++ binding such as the GLib or Qt binding won't want to include dbus.h in its public headers. However, a few constants and macros may be useful to include; those are found here and in dbus-protocol.h

Enumeration Type Documentation

enum DBusBusType

Well-known bus types.

See dbus_bus_get().

Enumerator:

DBUS_BUS_SESSION	The login session bus.
DBUS_BUS_SYSTEM	The systemwide bus.
DBUS_BUS_STARTER	The bus that started us, if any.

Definition at line 56 of file dbus-shared.h.

enum DBusHandlerResult

Results that a message handler can return.

Enumerator:

DBUS_HANDLER_RESULT_HANDLED	Message has had its effect - no need to run more handlers.
DBUS_HANDLER_RESULT_NOT_YET_HANDLED	Message has not had any effect - see if other handlers want it.
DBUS_HANDLER_RESULT_NEED_MEMORY	Need more memory in order to return DBUS_HANDLER_RESULT_HANDLED or DBUS_HANDLER_RESULT_NOT_YET_HANDLED. Please try again later with more memory.
