: any name on the message bus

dbus_g_proxy_new_for_name: : the connection to the remote bus

: name of the object instance to call methods on : name of the interface to call methods on

Creates a new proxy for a remote interface exported by a connection on a message bus. Method calls and signal connections over this proxy will go to the name owner; the name's owner is expected to support the given interface name. THE NAME OWNER MAY CHANGE OVER TIME, for example between two different method calls, unless the name is a unique name. If you need a fixed owner, you need to request the current owner and bind a proxy to its unique name rather than to the generic name; see dbus_g_proxy_new_for_name_owner().

A name-associated proxy only makes sense with a message bus, not for app-to-app direct dbus connections.

This proxy will only emit the "destroy" signal if the DBusConnection is disconnected, the proxy has no remaining references, or the name is a unique name and its owner disappears. If a well-known name changes owner, the proxy will still be alive.

Returns: new proxy object

DBusGProxydbus_g_proxy_new_for_name (DBusGConnection *connection, const char *name, const char *path_name, const char *interface_name)

: any name on the message bus

dbus_g_proxy_new_for_name_owner: : the connection to the remote bus

: name of the object inside the service to call methods on : name of the interface to call methods on : return location for an error

Similar to dbus_g_proxy_new_for_name(), but makes a round-trip request to the message bus to get the current name owner, then binds the proxy to the unique name of the current owner, rather than to the well-known name. As a result, the name owner will not change over time, and the proxy will emit the "destroy" signal when the owner disappears from the message bus.

An example of the difference between dbus_g_proxy_new_for_name() and dbus_g_proxy_new_for_name_owner(): if you provide the well-known name "org.freedesktop.Database" dbus_g_proxy_new_for_name() remains bound to that name as it changes owner. dbus_g_proxy_new_for_name_owner() will fail if the name has no owner. If the name has an owner, dbus_g_proxy_new_for_name_owner() will bind to the unique name of that owner rather than the generic name.

Returns: new proxy object, or NULL on error

void dbus_connection_setup_with_g_main ( DBusConnection *  connection,
GMainContext *  context 
)

dbus_connection_setup_with_g_main: : the connection : the GMainContext or NULL for default context

Sets the watch and timeout functions of a DBusConnection to integrate the connection with the GLib main loop. Pass in NULL for the GMainContext unless you're doing something specialized.

If called twice for the same context, does nothing the second time. If called once with context A and once with context B, context B replaces context A as the context monitoring the connection.

)

dbus_g_proxy_begin_call: : a proxy for a remote interface : the name of the method to invoke : callback to be invoked when method returns : user data passed to callback : function called to destroy user_data : type of the first argument

Asynchronously invokes a method on a remote interface. The method call will not be sent over the wire until the application returns to the main loop, or blocks in dbus_connection_flush() to write out pending data. The call will be completed after a timeout, or when a reply is received. When the call returns, the callback specified will be invoked; you can then collect the results of the call (which may be an error, or a reply), use dbus_g_proxy_end_call().

TODO this particular function shouldn't die on out of memory, since you should be able to do a call with large arguments.

Returns: call identifier.

dbus_g_proxy_call: : a proxy for a remote interface : method to invoke : return location for an error : type of first "in" argument

Function for synchronously invoking a method and receiving reply values. This function is equivalent to dbus_g_proxy_begin_call followed by dbus_g_proxy_end_call.

dbus_g_proxy_end_call: : a proxy for a remote interface : the pending call ID from dbus_g_proxy_begin_call() : return location for an error : type of first "out" argument

Collects the results of a method call. The method call was normally initiated with dbus_g_proxy_end_call(). You may use this function outside of the callback given to dbus_g_proxy_begin_call; in that case this function will block if the results haven't yet been received.

If the call results in an error, the error is set as normal for GError and the function returns FALSE.

Otherwise, the "out" parameters and return value of the method are stored in the provided varargs list. The list should be terminated with G_TYPE_INVALID.

Returns: FALSE if an error is set.

dbus_g_proxy_send: : a proxy for a remote interface : the message to address and send : return location for message's serial, or NULL

Sends a message to the interface we're proxying for. Does not block or wait for a reply. The message is only actually written out when you return to the main loop or block in dbus_connection_flush().

The message is modified to be addressed to the target interface. That is, a destination name field or whatever is needed will be added to the message. The basic point of this function is to add the necessary header fields, otherwise it's equivalent to dbus_connection_send().

This function adds a reference to the message, so the caller still owns its original reference.
