Questions tagged [dbus]

D-Bus is a message bus system, which allows client programs to call procedures on a service - basically, the machine-local equivalent to XML-RPC and SOAP.

D-Bus is a message bus system, designed to provide ways for programs to communicate with each other. D-Bus uses remote procedures to allow a client to call methods on a "service", and is conceptually similar to XML-RPC and SOAP. D-Bus, however, is designed for use in applications running on a single system. The FAQ offers a comparison to other well known IPC systems, as well as other general questions.

D-Bus is, in addition to an implementation, a specification - the document itself is freely available. In addition, an Introduction To D-Bus gives a high-level overview of how D-Bus is designed.

D-Bus, although used on POSIX systems (usually Linux and the *BSDs), has been ported to Windows and has been officially added to the specification.

D-Bus related questions will typically be how do I accomplish [X] in D-Bus - D-Bus is technical enough that most any question relating to it will be on topic.

high-level IPC library needed

Suppose that we have four process A, B, C, and D. Usually, B-D send packets to A and get a reply from A. (The packet represents a simple command, so it is very small) However, sometimes, 'A' broadcasts an event, so that all of B-D should be…

Suspend script doesn't pause media players

I have written a script for Elementary OS that pauses all running media players. This is because the sound may be really loud before suspension. Sadly, I can't get it to properly work. #! /bin/sh # # Copyright (c) Jason Anderson 2014

Please recommend a good D-Bus tutorial (Linux C GTK+)

Yes, I have done a search yet found only partly working stuff. It seems to be a real maze. E.g.: Why do they even use g_main_loop_run()? Is it really necessary when the GTK+ program has already entered the main loop by gtk_main()? How should the…
