Object Hierarchy:

Description:

public class DBusServer : Object, Initable

DBusServer is a helper for listening to and accepting D-Bus connections. This can be used to create a new D-Bus server, allowing two peers to use the D-Bus protocol for their own specialized communication. A server instance provided in this way will not perform message routing or implement the org.freedesktop.DBus interface.

To just export an object on a well-known name on a message bus, such as the session or system bus, you should instead use g_bus_own_name.

D-Bus peer-to-peer example:

<xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" parse="text" href="../../../../gio/tests/gdbus-example-peer.c"><xi:fallback>FIXME: MISSING XINCLUDE CONTENT</xi:fallback></xi:include>

Creation methods:

protected DBusServer ()
public DBusServer.sync (string address, DBusServerFlags flags, string guid, DBusAuthObserver? observer = null, Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws Error
Creates a new D-Bus server that listens on the first address in address that works.

public unowned string get_client_address ()
Gets a D-Bus address string that can be used by clients to connect to server.
public DBusServerFlags get_flags ()
Gets the flags for server.
public unowned string get_guid ()
Gets the GUID for server.
public bool is_active ()
Gets whether server is active.
public void start ()
Starts server.
public void stop ()
Stops server.

Signals:

public virtual bool new_connection (DBusConnection p0)
Emitted when a new authenticated connection has been made. Use get_peer_credentials to figure out what identity (if any), was authenticated.
