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 amain 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 aper-user-login-session daemon (for general IPC needs among
user applications). Also, the message bus is built on topof 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 meansmail us and say why - design, licensing, indentation style,
we would rather know than not know. FILES The following files are used by this application:/usr/lib/libdbus-1.so
