37 * @brief Functions for communicating with the message bus
38 *
39 * dbus_bus_get() allows all modules and libraries in a given
40 * process to share the same connection to the bus daemon by storing
41 * the connection globally.
42 *
43 * All other functions in this module are just convenience functions;
44 * most of them invoke methods on the bus daemon, by sending method
45 * call messages to #DBUS_SERVICE_DBUS. These convenience functions
46 * often make blocking method calls. If you don't want to block,
47 * you can send the method call messages manually in the same way
48 * you would any other method call message.
49 *
50 * This module is the only one in libdbus that's specific to
51 * communicating with the message bus daemon. The rest of the API can
52 * also be used for connecting to another application directly.
53 *
54 * @todo right now the default address of the system bus is hardcoded,
55 * so if you change it in the global config file suddenly you have to
56 * set DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS env variable. Might be nice if the
57 * client lib somehow read the config file, or if the bus on startup
58 * somehow wrote out its address to a well-known spot, but might also
59 * not be worth it.

685 * once per connection. After the unique name is set, you can get it
686 * with dbus_bus_get_unique_name().
687 *
688 * The only reason to use this function is to re-implement the
689 * equivalent of dbus_bus_register() yourself. One (probably unusual)
690 * reason to do that might be to do the bus registration call
691 * asynchronously instead of synchronously.
692 *
693 * @note Just use dbus_bus_get() or dbus_bus_get_private(), or worst
694 * case dbus_bus_register(), instead of messing with this
695 * function. There's really no point creating pain for yourself by
696 * doing things manually.
697 *
698 * It's hard to use this function safely on shared connections
699 * (created by dbus_connection_open()) in a multithreaded application,
700 * because only one registration attempt can be sent to the bus. If
701 * two threads are both sending the registration message, there is no
702 * mechanism in libdbus itself to avoid sending it twice.
703 *
704 * Thus, you need a way to coordinate which thread sends the
705 * registration attempt; which also means you know which thread
706 * will call dbus_bus_set_unique_name(). If you don't know
707 * about all threads in the app (for example, if some libraries
708 * you're using might start libdbus-using threads), then you
709 * need to avoid using this function on shared connections.

869 /**
870 * Asks the bus to assign the given name to this connection by invoking
871 * the RequestName method on the bus. This method is fully documented
872 * in the D-Bus specification. For quick reference, the flags and
873 * result codes are discussed here, but the specification is the
874 * canonical version of this information.
875 *
876 * First you should know that for each bus name, the bus stores
877 * a queue of connections that would like to own it. Only
878 * one owns it at a time - called the primary owner. If the primary
879 * owner releases the name or disconnects, then the next owner in the
880 * queue atomically takes over.
881 *
882 * So for example if you have an application org.freedesktop.TextEditor
883 * and multiple instances of it can be run, you can have all of them
884 * sitting in the queue. The first one to start up will receive messages
885 * sent to org.freedesktop.TextEditor, but if that one exits another
886 * will become the primary owner and receive messages.
887 *
888 * The queue means you don't need to manually watch for the current owner to
889 * disappear and then request the name again.
890 *
891 * When requesting a name, you can specify several flags.
892 *
893 * #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT and #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_DO_NOT_QUEUE
894 * are properties stored by the bus for this connection with respect to
895 * each requested bus name. These properties are stored even if the
896 * connection is queued and does not become the primary owner.
897 * You can update these flags by calling RequestName again (even if
898 * you already own the name).
899 *
900 * #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT means that another requestor of the
901 * name can take it away from you by specifying #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_REPLACE_EXISTING.
902 *
903 * #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_DO_NOT_QUEUE means that if you aren't the primary owner,
904 * you don't want to be queued up - you only care about being the
905 * primary owner.
906 *
907 * Unlike the other two flags, #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_REPLACE_EXISTING is a property
908 * of the individual RequestName call, i.e. the bus does not persistently
909 * associate it with the connection-name pair. If a RequestName call includes
910 * the #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_REPLACE_EXISTING flag, and the current primary
911 * owner has #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT set, then the current primary
912 * owner will be kicked off.
913 *
914 * If no flags are given, an application will receive the requested
915 * name only if the name is currently unowned; and it will NOT give
916 * up the name if another application asks to take it over using
917 * #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_REPLACE_EXISTING.
918 *
919 * This function returns a result code. The possible result codes
920 * are as follows.
921 *
922 * #DBUS_REQUEST_NAME_REPLY_PRIMARY_OWNER means that the name had no
923 * existing owner, and the caller is now the primary owner; or that
924 * the name had an owner, and the caller specified
925 * #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_REPLACE_EXISTING, and the current owner
926 * specified #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT.
927 *
928 * #DBUS_REQUEST_NAME_REPLY_IN_QUEUE happens only if the caller does NOT
929 * specify #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_DO_NOT_QUEUE and either the current owner
930 * did NOT specify #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT or the caller did NOT
931 * specify #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_REPLACE_EXISTING. In this case the caller ends up
932 * in a queue to own the name after the current owner gives it up.
933 *
934 * #DBUS_REQUEST_NAME_REPLY_EXISTS happens if the name has an owner
935 * already and the caller specifies #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_DO_NOT_QUEUE
936 * and either the current owner has NOT specified
937 * #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT or the caller did NOT specify
938 * #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_REPLACE_EXISTING.
939 *
940 * #DBUS_REQUEST_NAME_REPLY_ALREADY_OWNER happens if an application
941 * requests a name it already owns. (Re-requesting a name is useful if
942 * you want to change the #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT or
943 * #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_DO_NOT_QUEUE settings.)
944 *
945 * When a service represents an application, say "text editor," then
946 * it should specify #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT if it wants
947 * the last editor started to be the user's editor vs. the first one
948 * started. Then any editor that can be the user's editor should
949 * specify #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_REPLACE_EXISTING to either take over
950 * (last-started-wins) or be queued up (first-started-wins) according
951 * to whether #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT was given.
952 *
953 * Conventionally, single-instance applications often offer a command
954 * line option called --replace which means to replace the current
955 * instance. To implement this, always set
956 * #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT when you request your
957 * application's bus name. When you lose ownership of your bus name,
958 * you need to exit. Look for the signal "NameLost" from
959 * #DBUS_SERVICE_DBUS and #DBUS_INTERFACE_DBUS (the signal's first
960 * argument is the bus name that was lost). If starting up without
961 * --replace, do not specify #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_REPLACE_EXISTING, and
962 * exit if you fail to become the bus name owner. If --replace is
963 * given, ask to replace the old owner.
964 *
965 * @param connection the connection
966 * @param name the name to request
967 * @param flags flags
968 * @param error location to store the error
969 * @returns a result code, -1 if error is set

1297 /**
1298 * Adds a match rule to match messages going through the message bus.
1299 * The "rule" argument is the string form of a match rule.
1300 *
1301 * If you pass #NULL for the error, this function will not
1302 * block; the match thus won't be added until you flush the
1303 * connection, and if there's an error adding the match
1304 * (only possible error is lack of resources in the bus),
1305 * you won't find out about it.
1306 *
1307 * If you pass non-#NULL for the error this function will
1308 * block until it gets a reply.
1309 *
1310 * Normal API conventions would have the function return
1311 * a boolean value indicating whether the error was set,
1312 * but that would require blocking always to determine
1313 * the return value.
1314 *
1315 * The AddMatch method is fully documented in the D-Bus
1316 * specification. For quick reference, the format of the
1317 * match rules is discussed here, but the specification
1318 * is the canonical version of this information.
1319 *
1320 * Rules are specified as a string of comma separated
1321 * key/value pairs. An example is
1322 * "type='signal',sender='org.freedesktop.DBus',
1323 * interface='org.freedesktop.DBus',member='Foo',
1324 * path='/bar/foo',destination=':452345.34'"
1325 *
1326 * Possible keys you can match on are type, sender,
1327 * interface, member, path, destination and numbered
1328 * keys to match message args (keys are 'arg0', 'arg1', etc.).
1329 * Omitting a key from the rule indicates
1330 * a wildcard match. For instance omitting
1331 * the member from a match rule but adding a sender would
1332 * let all messages from that sender through regardless of
1333 * the member.
1334 *
1335 * Matches are inclusive not exclusive so as long as one
1336 * rule matches the message will get through. It is important
1337 * to note this because every time a message is received the
1338 * application will be paged into memory to process it. This
1339 * can cause performance problems such as draining batteries
1340 * on embedded platforms.
1341 *
1342 * If you match message args ('arg0', 'arg1', and so forth)
1343 * only string arguments will match. That is, arg0='5' means
1344 * match the string "5" not the integer 5.
1345 *
1346 * Currently there is no way to match against non-string arguments.
1347 *
1348 * Matching on interface is tricky because method call
1349 * messages only optionally specify the interface.
1350 * If a message omits the interface, then it will NOT match
1351 * if the rule specifies an interface name. This means match
1352 * rules on method calls should not usually give an interface.
1353 *
1354 * However, signal messages are required to include the interface
1355 * so when matching signals usually you should specify the interface
1356 * in the match rule.
1357 *
1358 * For security reasons, you can match arguments only up to
1359 * #DBUS_MAXIMUM_MATCH_RULE_ARG_NUMBER.
1360 *
1361 * Match rules have a maximum length of #DBUS_MAXIMUM_MATCH_RULE_LENGTH
1362 * bytes.
1363 *
1364 * Both of these maximums are much higher than you're likely to need,
1365 * they only exist because the D-Bus bus daemon has fixed limits on
1366 * all resource usage.
1367 *
1368 * @param connection connection to the message bus
1369 * @param rule textual form of match rule
1370 * @param error location to store any errors
