NAME
     libdbus-1, libdbus-1.0 - D-Bus Library and GLib bindings

DESCRIPTION
     D-Bus is a message bus system, a simple way for applications
     to  talk  to  one  another.   The libdbus-1 library provides
     low-level API.  The libdbus-1  library  provides  C-language
     bindings  for using D-Bus with a higher-level approach.  The
     higher level approach is possible  because  GLib  defines  a
     main  loop, an object/type system, and an out-of-memory han-
     dling policy (it exits the program).

     D-Bus supplies both a system daemon (for events such as "new
     hardware  device  added"  or  "printer queue changed") and a
     per-user-login-session daemon (for general IPC  needs  among
     user  applications).   Also, the message bus is built on top
     of a general one-to-one message passing framework, which can
     be  used  by  any  two apps to communicate directly (without
     going through the message bus daemon).

     The D-Bus API isn't finished yet, and the design  is  by  no
     means  set  in  stone.  One of our main goals is for lots of
     projects to use it, so if you would not use it, by all means
     mail  us and say why - design, licensing, indentation style,
     we would rather know than not know.
