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

619 * dbus_connection_open_private() you will have to dbus_bus_register()
620 * yourself, or make the appropriate registration method calls
621 * yourself. If you send the method calls yourself, call
622 * dbus_bus_set_unique_name() with the unique bus name you get from
623 * the bus.
624 *
625 * For shared connections (created with dbus_connection_open()) in a
626 * multithreaded application, you can't really make the registration
627 * calls yourself, because you don't know whether some other thread is
628 * also registering, and the bus will kick you off if you send two
629 * registration messages.
630 *
631 * If you use dbus_bus_register() however, there is a lock that
632 * keeps both apps from registering at the same time.
633 *
634 * The rule in a multithreaded app, then, is that dbus_bus_register()
635 * must be used to register, or you need to have your own locks that
636 * all threads in the app will respect.
637 *
638 * In a single-threaded application you can register by hand instead
639 * of using dbus_bus_register(), as long as you check
640 * dbus_bus_get_unique_name() to see if a unique name has already been

735 * The only reason to use this function is to re-implement the

753 * will call dbus_bus_set_unique_name(). If you don't know

998 * Asks the bus to assign the given name to this connection by invoking
999 * the RequestName method on the bus. This method is fully documented
1000 * in the D-Bus specification. For quick reference, the flags and
1001 * result codes are discussed here, but the specification is the
1002 * canonical version of this information.
1003 *
1004 * First you should know that for each bus name, the bus stores
1005 * a queue of connections that would like to own it. Only
1006 * one owns it at a time - called the primary owner. If the primary
1007 * owner releases the name or disconnects, then the next owner in the
1008 * queue atomically takes over.
1009 *
1010 * So for example if you have an application org.freedesktop.TextEditor
1011 * and multiple instances of it can be run, you can have all of them
1012 * sitting in the queue. The first one to start up will receive messages
1013 * sent to org.freedesktop.TextEditor, but if that one exits another
1014 * will become the primary owner and receive messages.
1015 *
1016 * The queue means you don't need to manually watch for the current owner to
1017 * disappear and then request the name again.
1018 *
1019 * When requesting a name, you can specify several flags.
1020 *
1021 * #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT and #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_DO_NOT_QUEUE
1022 * are properties stored by the bus for this connection with respect to
1023 * each requested bus name. These properties are stored even if the
1024 * connection is queued and does not become the primary owner.
1025 * You can update these flags by calling RequestName again (even if
1026 * you already own the name).
1027 *
1028 * #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT means that another requestor of the
1029 * name can take it away from you by specifying #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_REPLACE_EXISTING.
1030 *
1031 * #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_DO_NOT_QUEUE means that if you aren't the primary owner,
1032 * you don't want to be queued up - you only care about being the
1033 * primary owner.
1034 *
1035 * Unlike the other two flags, #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_REPLACE_EXISTING is a property
1036 * of the individual RequestName call, i.e. the bus does not persistently
1037 * associate it with the connection-name pair. If a RequestName call includes
1038 * the #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_REPLACE_EXISTING flag, and the current primary
1039 * owner has #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT set, then the current primary
1040 * owner will be kicked off.
1041 *
1042 * If no flags are given, an application will receive the requested
1043 * name only if the name is currently unowned; and it will NOT give
1044 * up the name if another application asks to take it over using
1045 * #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_REPLACE_EXISTING.
1046 *
1047 * This function returns a result code. The possible result codes
1048 * are as follows.
1049 *
1050 * #DBUS_REQUEST_NAME_REPLY_PRIMARY_OWNER means that the name had no
1051 * existing owner, and the caller is now the primary owner; or that
1052 * the name had an owner, and the caller specified
1053 * #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_REPLACE_EXISTING, and the current owner
1054 * specified #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT.
1055 *
1056 * #DBUS_REQUEST_NAME_REPLY_IN_QUEUE happens only if the caller does NOT
1057 * specify #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_DO_NOT_QUEUE and either the current owner
1058 * did NOT specify #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT or the caller did NOT
1059 * specify #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_REPLACE_EXISTING. In this case the caller ends up
1060 * in a queue to own the name after the current owner gives it up.
1061 *
1062 * #DBUS_REQUEST_NAME_REPLY_EXISTS happens if the name has an owner
1063 * already and the caller specifies #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_DO_NOT_QUEUE
1064 * and either the current owner has NOT specified
1065 * #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT or the caller did NOT specify
1066 * #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_REPLACE_EXISTING.
1067 *
1068 * #DBUS_REQUEST_NAME_REPLY_ALREADY_OWNER happens if an application
1069 * requests a name it already owns. (Re-requesting a name is useful if
1070 * you want to change the #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT or
1071 * #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_DO_NOT_QUEUE settings.)
1072 *
1073 * When a service represents an application, say "text editor," then
1074 * it should specify #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT if it wants
1075 * the last editor started to be the user's editor vs. the first one
1076 * started. Then any editor that can be the user's editor should
1077 * specify #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_REPLACE_EXISTING to either take over
1078 * (last-started-wins) or be queued up (first-started-wins) according
1079 * to whether #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT was given.
1080 *
1081 * Conventionally, single-instance applications often offer a command
1082 * line option called --replace which means to replace the current
1083 * instance. To implement this, always set
1084 * #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT when you request your
1085 * application's bus name. When you lose ownership of your bus name,
1086 * you need to exit. Look for the signal "NameLost" from
1087 * #DBUS_SERVICE_DBUS and #DBUS_INTERFACE_DBUS (the signal's first
1088 * argument is the bus name that was lost). If starting up without
1089 * --replace, do not specify #DBUS_NAME_FLAG_REPLACE_EXISTING, and
1090 * exit if you fail to become the bus name owner. If --replace is
1091 * given, ask to replace the old owner.

1426 * Adds a match rule to match messages going through the message bus.
1427 * The "rule" argument is the string form of a match rule.
1428 *
1429 * If you pass #NULL for the error, this function will not
1430 * block; the match thus won't be added until you flush the
1431 * connection, and if there's an error adding the match
1432 * you won't find out about it. This is generally acceptable, since the
1433 * possible errors (including a lack of resources in the bus, the connection
1434 * having exceeded its quota of active match rules, or the match rule being
1435 * unparseable) are generally unrecoverable.
1436 *
1437 * If you pass non-#NULL for the error this function will
1438 * block until it gets a reply. This may be useful when using match rule keys
1439 * introduced in recent versions of D-Bus, like 'arg0namespace', to allow the
1440 * application to fall back to less efficient match rules supported by older
1441 * versions of the daemon if the running version is not new enough; or when
1442 * using user-supplied rules rather than rules hard-coded at compile time.
1443 *
1444 * Normal API conventions would have the function return
1445 * a boolean value indicating whether the error was set,
1446 * but that would require blocking always to determine
1447 * the return value.
1448 *
1449 * The AddMatch method is fully documented in the D-Bus
1450 * specification. For quick reference, the format of the
1451 * match rules is discussed here, but the specification
1452 * is the canonical version of this information.
1453 *
1454 * Rules are specified as a string of comma separated
1455 * key/value pairs. An example is
1456 * "type='signal',sender='org.freedesktop.DBus',
1457 * interface='org.freedesktop.DBus',member='Foo',
1458 * path='/bar/foo',destination=':452345.34'"
1459 *
1460 * Possible keys you can match on are type, sender,
1461 * interface, member, path, destination and numbered
1462 * keys to match message args (keys are 'arg0', 'arg1', etc.).
1463 * Omitting a key from the rule indicates
1464 * a wildcard match. For instance omitting
1465 * the member from a match rule but adding a sender would
1466 * let all messages from that sender through regardless of
1467 * the member.
1468 *
1469 * Matches are inclusive not exclusive so as long as one
1470 * rule matches the message will get through. It is important
1471 * to note this because every time a message is received the
1472 * application will be paged into memory to process it. This
1473 * can cause performance problems such as draining batteries
1474 * on embedded platforms.
1475 *
1476 * If you match message args ('arg0', 'arg1', and so forth)
1477 * only string arguments will match. That is, arg0='5' means
1478 * match the string "5" not the integer 5.
1479 *
1480 * Currently there is no way to match against non-string arguments.
1481 *
1482 * A specialised form of wildcard matching on arguments is
1483 * supported for path-like namespaces. If your argument match has
1484 * a 'path' suffix (eg: "arg0path='/some/path/'") then it is
1485 * considered a match if the argument exactly matches the given
1486 * string or if one of them ends in a '/' and is a prefix of the
1487 * other.
1488 *
1489 * Matching on interface is tricky because method call
1490 * messages only optionally specify the interface.
1491 * If a message omits the interface, then it will NOT match
1492 * if the rule specifies an interface name. This means match
1493 * rules on method calls should not usually give an interface.
1494 *
1495 * However, signal messages are required to include the interface
1496 * so when matching signals usually you should specify the interface
1497 * in the match rule.
1498 *
1499 * For security reasons, you can match arguments only up to
1500 * #DBUS_MAXIMUM_MATCH_RULE_ARG_NUMBER.
1501 *
1502 * Match rules have a maximum length of #DBUS_MAXIMUM_MATCH_RULE_LENGTH
1503 * bytes.
1504 *
1505 * Both of these maximums are much higher than you're likely to need,
1506 * they only exist because the D-Bus bus daemon has fixed limits on
1507 * all resource usage.
